Chapter 56: The Immortal Pot in the Pool
The night was as quiet as the abyss, and the clouds in the sky just dispersed, letting the moonlight fall on Yunjuntan.
"It's happening, it's happening!"
"It really works."
Su Xiaoer was so excited that he jumped up and looked left and right along Yunjuntan. He raised his head and did not look ahead, and almost fell into the pool.
"God! God!"
"Great Immortal Yunjun, I'm here, I'm here!"
Su Xiaoer shouted loudly, fearing that the immortal would be too tall to see him.
At this time, the immortal seemed to have discovered the people beside Yunjun Pond under the thousand-foot cliff.
The figure, leaning on the cloud light under the moon, lowered his head and looked down.
A pair of eyes can see the world passing by like floating clouds, and the raised corners of the mouth can capture the mountains, rivers, sun and moon with ease.
Then, the Taoist robe embroidered with cloud patterns fell from its sleeves.
Layers of clouds slowly gush out from the middle of the sleeves, stretching toward the sky, condensing into a ladder leading from the pool to the top of the cliff.
Just arrived in front of Su Xiaoer.
Su Xiaoer was excited and happy. He felt as if he was in a dream. He was swaying a little as he walked, as if he was stepping on cotton.
This made him more cautious when he stepped on the ladder, for fear that he would accidentally fall off the cloud.
Su Xiaoer opened his hands, stepped on the clouds and bathed in the moonlight falling from a high place, and walked up the cliff little by little, towards the top of the cliff.
The white clouds are lingering and the wind blows through my long hair.
With every step you take, the ladder beneath your feet becomes shorter.
Turning his head and looking into the distance, he could vaguely see the city walls, and everything was within sight and at his feet.
People in Yunbi County say that this cliff is thousands of feet high and no one has ever climbed it.
Su Xiaoer thought to himself that I might be the first "person" to climb to the top of this cliff.
In a daze, the ladder has reached the end, and the person is standing on the top of the cliff.
The top of the cliff is covered with long green grass, and there is a withered old tree. Under the moonlight and clouds, the immortal is sitting under the tree.
On the other side of the dead tree, there was a familiar donkey. The donkey seemed not to be very interested. It glanced at Su Xiaoer, twitched its ears, and turned away.
Su Xiaoer suddenly remembered the scene when they first met.
People are immortals, and donkeys are naturally divine donkeys. No wonder this divine donkey won't let me lead it.
Before Su Xiaoer could speak, the immortal sitting under the dead tree on the top of the cliff moved.
He stretched his waist and sat up, and following the movements, the dead tree behind him changed.
In Su Xiaoer's surprised gaze, this old dead tree blossomed in spring, with green buds sprouting out, turning into green leaves in the blink of an eye, and then turning into a tree full of flowers in an instant.
When the fragrance of flowers entered my nose, I realized that all this was true.
The immortal picked a flower branch beside him, smelled it, and smiled.
"Why is there no fine wine on a full-moon night when we have such a wonderful time?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a flower branch passed by a large stone that looked like a stone table in front of him.
On the originally empty table, a pot of fairy wine and two wine bottles appeared.
The immortal took another look, as if he was still dissatisfied: "If there is wine, there must be something to drink with it."
The flower branch clicked twice on the stone table, and two jade boxes appeared. The jade boxes contained an elixir that exuded a halo.
Su Xiaoer's eyes were stunned and he didn't dare to move for a long time, let alone speak.
At this moment, it seemed as if my body was no longer my own. I was sitting on a high place and was swaying, as if I was about to fall.
"Why don't guests use it yet?" It was the immortal's call that summoned Su Xiaoer's consciousness back from his soul.
Su Xiaoer hurriedly bowed his hands, carefully picked up the elixir, and swallowed it in one gulp.
It's a bit like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit. It doesn't even taste like it before it falls into his stomach.
After just one pill of elixir, I felt a strong feeling of fullness and a dry mouth.
His eyes immediately spotted the wine bottle on the table. Su Xiaoer immediately grabbed the wine bottle and drank the immortal wine in the bottle.
The elixir was dissolved by the power of wine and dispersed throughout the body. Su Xiaoer even had layers of white air coming out of his body. His face turned red as if he was drunk, and he even burped.
The immortal smiled and looked down the cliff.
"If you take away the cloud wall here, what will be left behind?"
The immortal threw the wine pot in his palm, and the wine pot fell into the air, and the fairy wine in the pot fell loudly.
But after the alcohol was released, it turned into a fairy sword.
The sword energy moves vertically and horizontally, rotating with the wine pot.
As soon as the sword fell, the brilliance reflected the sun and moon for nine days.
I saw that the fairy sword followed the trace of the wine pot's fall and made a sword mark that was deeply embedded in the cliff and stretched from the top to the bottom.
Su Xiaoer's eyes reflected the sword light, and he felt that the sword was deeply imprinted in his mind.
What I saw in my eyes was not a sword, but the Milky Way rolling down from the clouds.
He even felt that if he had a sword in his hand, he would be able to cut off the sword intent rolling down from the Milky Way.
Although he does not have the power to dominate the world, he is enough to overwhelm all swordsmen in the world.
"Xixixi!"
"Crash!"
After the sword light faded, the wine pot turned into an ordinary wine pot again, and spring water suddenly gushes out from the cliff.
The spring water slid down along the sword mark, converging into a waterfall hanging on the thousand-foot cliff.
The wine pot also followed the gushing spring water down the waterfall, fell into the pool, and disappeared.
When Su Xiaoer woke up from the meaning of that sword, he turned around and found that he was already in front of Yunjun Pond at the foot of the cliff.
The crashing sound of the waterfall descended from a high place and fell into Yunjuntan.
The immortal was no longer there, and only a streak of clouds was seen moving towards the north, as if it was carrying the moonlight into the distance.
Since then, there has been no fairy wall in Yunbi County, but there has been a fairy spring.
Countless swordsmen throughout the ages have come here to gain enlightenment by observing the sword marks of this immortal.
There are even rumors that the wine pot thrown down by the immortal is still left at the bottom of the pond, attracting many people to dive into the bottom of the pond every summer.
Just to find the wine bottle abandoned by the immortal.
————————
Although only one night had passed, Su Xiaoer had already changed. He no longer had any worries or worries, only the expectation of the future was left.
But he never forgot his promise to the immortal.
Instead of being a knight with three points of loyalty and five points of fame, the young man should be a hero with eight points of loyalty.
The caravans and carriages were arranged neatly, and when they were about to set off, someone ran out of the city and looked for the young man everywhere in the caravan.
Although the young man dodged, the proprietress of Yunjian Restaurant still saw him at a glance and picked him out from the crowd.
"You bastard, if you don't stay at Yunbi properly, why should you go outside? It's so dangerous outside!"
The boy's screams made many acquaintances laugh.
In the end, the landlady let go and placed a package on Su Xiao's hand.
"If you don't do well outside, you'd better come back."
"Yunjian Restaurant will always be your home."
His face was full of worry and reluctance, as if he was sending his own child away.
Su Xiaoer left his hometown and drove away in a carriage. He sat on the goods and waved, with tears all over his face.
