Chapter 929 Farewell to An Yue
The wind is blowing, the rain is dark, and the clouds are falling heavily.
The mountains and forests are lush and green.
Today, the sun was shining brightly at first, and then it rained continuously. When the two phenomena overlapped, a rainbow bridge quietly appeared on the horizon, colorful and dreamy.
The world below the mountain is still the world, and the human world is still called the human world.
But the country once named Anyue has gradually been buried in the years, like an octogenarian, about to be blown away by the wind at any time.
There are tall buildings and pavilions everywhere. The streets are still paved with bluestone, and the steps are smooth and often cleaned, without any moss or lichen.
That acclaimed noodle shop closed hundreds of years ago, and since the noodle shop owner's children and grandchildren passed away, the secret of the signature beef noodles was also buried in the grave.
The light rain fell, and the coldness quietly permeated into the wooden window.
As if it was a cycle of fate, a noodle shop that was doing booming business was opened at the same location.
Although it was a bit cloudy and rainy today, the noodle shop owner was very happy.
Prices in the capital are getting more and more expensive. It has been a long time since we have seen so many customers. I heard that they came together and directly booked the noodle shop.
The boss's hands left afterimages as he rolled the noodles. He was preparing the ingredients while rolling the noodles, and urging the waiter to speed up and not neglect the customers.
Sitting by the window, Li Yuan gently tasted the steaming noodles in front of him. The familiar yet slightly different taste made him slightly absent-minded, as if he had returned to that prosperous era.
There was also continuous drizzling on the streets at that time, but the noodle shop was still bustling, and the owner was still tired and sweating, but he had a smile on his face.
It’s a pity...things and people have changed.
Of course, with him were Anshan’s many relatives and friends. It was a rare opportunity for everyone to come down the mountain for team-building, and I don’t know who brought it up inadvertently, but they eventually came to this place again.
For some relatives and friends, this place is just a simple noodle shop.
As for the relatives and friends who have survived the catastrophe hundreds of years ago and are still alive today, they all remember that this noodle shop was a place where everyone often gathered. It was crowded and full of laughter.
He even tricked the blue ox in the Tushita Palace into making a few bowls of Iron Ox Beef Noodles...
Everyone felt emotional and could somewhat understand why Li Yuan just stared out the window in a daze after eating a few mouthfuls of noodles.
The world is vast and colorful. The short life of a mortal may not even create a bubble in the long river of time.
But there are always some people who are alive and they remember.
Write the stories in books, record the times with pen and ink, those brilliant and touching pasts will always have a few words left in the end, so that they will not be completely buried without a trace.
Their past stories were as brilliant as songs and as glorious as poems.
Time is like a knife, slashing away the geniuses. Those old friends who were either passionate or resolute, they shouted and fought hysterically; they were once young and energetic, but their backs gradually bent over time, and finally they were buried in the loess with tears and reluctance.
It seems that they have died in eternal sleep and left no trace; but those who are still alive have not forgotten those stories and those figures!
"We live in your heart!"
For some reason, Li Yuan remembered this sentence, and thought of the gentle figure lying in his arms and passing away. He pursed his lips and smiled softly, his eyes pure without a trace of impurities.
This worldly life is a constant cycle, from stranger to familiar, from meeting to separation.
Those who seek fate will not find it, and those who cherish fate will not despise it. The story will begin and end, until it begins again...
"The relationship is over, but my story is not over yet..."
Silently looking at the drizzle outside the window, Li Yuan smiled knowingly, his brows relaxed and his smile gentle.
After finishing a simple bowl of noodles, everyone paid the bill and stood up.
But Li Yuan didn't hold an umbrella, but quietly walked out of the noodle shop, and walked slowly on the street. His back in the rain seemed a little bleak, but it was hard to tell whether his steps were heavy or brisk...
The ancient green street, the stone steps in the deep alleys; a person walking alone in the slanting wind and drizzle.
Li Yuan walked silently in the rain, as if he had merged with the world, creating a unique picture.
People were passing by in twos and threes on the street, holding umbrellas and brushing shoulders with Li Yuan.
Raindrops, mud, pedestrians...the sounds are noisy and clear, chaotic but orderly.
He seems to be standing in the world, like a person in a painting; but if you look closely, you can see that he has an extraordinary rhythm, and as if there is some kind of unique beauty that is independent of the world, as if he has jumped out of the picture and is no longer in the frame.
When everyone walked out of the noodle shop, they suddenly felt a certain Taoist rhythm flowing slowly, as if it was driving the natural world and integrating all the principles.
Tian Yao’s strength was closest to the Dao Zun level. He immediately noticed something, grabbed Wang Shuo and others, and shook his head.
Seeing this, Zhuge Laodeng also stopped Xuan Chi and others, preventing them from intruding on Li Yuan's rhythm.
Everyone looked at Li Yuan's back, the Taoism entered their hearts, and the clear rhythm lingered in their minds. Seeing this seemingly integrated, ordinary yet rare wonder of the mortal world, various insights gradually arose.
This was a rare opportunity for enlightenment, created accidentally by a Taoist master, which triggered resonance in the entire natural world. The celestial demon would certainly not destroy it, but let everyone experience it carefully.
Although everyone can experience different insights due to different moods and personalities, there are definitely great benefits to all.
a long time.
Li Yuan had already reached the corner of the street, and his steps became faster and faster, as if he had finally lifted the invisible burden from his shoulders.
"Huh....."
"Why are you all standing there? I heard that a dim sum shop opened up ahead, and the people there all say that it's better than the previous one... Shall we go try it?"
After coming to an end of his thoughts, Li Yuan realized that no one was following him, so he suddenly turned around, raised his hand and greeted them with a faint smile on his face.
Everyone slowly woke up from their enlightenment, their eyes were bright and sharp, as if they had comprehended a bit of the true meaning of the world, which was of great benefit to their spiritual practice.
Before they could say anything, Tian Yao took the lead in responding to Li Yuan, also smiling and waving: "Why are you running so fast? Come on, come on!"
Li Yuan shrugged and laughed in the rain: "If you don't hurry up, I won't treat you later!"
After saying that, Li Yuan turned around and ran, just like the lazy young man who loved to play and eat. It seemed that the hundreds and thousands of years had not left any traces on him.
Instead, it's like polishing a piece of unpolished jade, making it more rounded and transparent, without any impurities.
"He has...completely let go of An Yue..."
Watching Li Yuan's back gradually walking away in the rain, Tian Yao let out a sigh of relief and tilted his head to signal everyone to follow him.
Everyone knows that An Yue still has a special meaning in Li Yuan's heart. After all, she accompanied him when he was weak. They grew up together and became strong together...
After the death of Emperor Anyue, Anyue's national destiny seemed to be divided, until it gradually went towards destruction, which was something that many Anshan creatures did not want to see.
Their old friends had long since turned into dust, leaving only the familiar words "An Yue".
However, the fate in the world may have an end. The fate of Anshan and Anyue has lasted for hundreds of years, and it is finally time to say goodbye.
Although their ties with the secular world have ended, it was not until today that Li Yuan truly let go of An Yue's story and was ready to start a new chapter.
In Li Yuan's heart, this familiar yet unfamiliar city no longer lingers on his mind, nor does it hold any special meaning.
