Chapter 407: Reluctant to Leave

Time flies, Liu Haiyu has been on Tuling Island for half a year.

This morning, on the shore of Tuling Island.

The clear sky is as warm as blue jade. The East China Sea is as gentle and soothing as blue brocade.

In the distance, the sky and the sea are connected, and I don’t know how much enviable warmth and tenderness there are.

On the golden beach on the shore of Tuling Island, Yun Qiaoer in white and Liu Haiyu in blue stood side by side, quietly like two Taoist lotuses, looking at the sky and the sea in the distance.

"Haiyu, are you really going back to Zhongyuan Continent?" Yun Qiaoer whispered, with a hint of reluctance in her voice.

"This time, I came to the East China Sea alone to find Daoyuan on the order of my master, in order to perfectly break through my cultivation to the Yuanhun realm. My master gave me a deadline of half a year. Now that I have achieved perfection, it is time for me to return to the Qinglian Dojo to report." Liu Haiyu explained gently.

"I really don't want you to leave. It would be great if you could stay with me on Tuling Island forever." As she said that, Yun Qiaoer stretched out her jade hands and took the initiative to hold Liu Haiyu's hands tightly.

The two hands were tightly clasped together, warm and gentle, just like the sky and the sea in the distance, and just like the two people's hearts at this moment.

There are more than a thousand ways to seek the truth, but feelings are the most precious among them.

Liu Haiyu did not answer, because he knew that he could not give Yun Qiaoer any promise. He is the closed disciple of the Qinglian Daochang's Supreme Master "Qingguzi", and one of the disciples that "Qingguzi" has the highest hopes for.

...

At that time, Liu Haiyu was just a five-year-old child. By chance, he was accepted as a closed disciple by the Qinglian Daochang's Supreme Master.

The Qinglian Daochang's Supreme Master "Qingguzi" passed the position of the master to the current Qinglian Daochang Master "Xichengfeng" more than a hundred years ago. After that, he has been in seclusion. More than a hundred years later, he suddenly came out of retreat, and brought back a child from somewhere.

Qinglian Mountain, with nine peaks, looks like a lotus cut. It is the location of the "Qinglian Daochang", a major Taoist sect in Zhongyuan Continent. On the ninth peak of Qinglian Daochang, there is a Taoist lotus pond. Legend has it that after being baptized in the Taoist lotus pond, several Taoists have walked out. Therefore, Qinglian Daochang is also commonly known as the True Lotus Daochang.

Halfway up the ninth peak of Qinglian Mountain, there is a sacred spiritual pond with abundant spiritual energy. The green lotus in the pond is graceful and elegant.

At this time, a quasi-real person with white hair and a childlike face and a blue robe with large sleeves held a thousand-thread Tai Chi whisk in his right hand, with a happy expression on his face, and walked here with a well-behaved child in blue clothes in his left hand.

The quasi-real person has profound cultivation, and his unparalleled cultivation is only half a step away from the real Taoist. There is no need to activate the body. Every step he takes has colorful ripples flowing under his feet, like a fairy trace.

The little boy in blue beside him had a pretty face and a pair of big watery eyes that were clear and dust-free.

In front of the old and the young, there was a pool of green lotus, blue and white, spotless.

"Disciple Haiyu, do you know why I accepted you as my disciple?" The old Taoist bent down, lowered his eyebrows and said kindly.

The little boy in blue looked at the pool of green lotus in front of him, blinked his eyes, and then replied: "Because the master likes lotus, Haiyu also likes lotus. So, I asked Haiyu to protect the lotus for the master."

"Hahaha." The old Taoist laughed when he heard it, and gently shook the Tai Chi whisk in his right hand, and colorful light spots were sprinkled on it. A rainbow bridge appeared out of thin air above the lotus pond, which was more like a fairyland.

The old Taoist touched the blue-clothed boy's head, and then said: "You are right. Master not only wants you to guard this pool of lotus, but also needs you to guard the entire Qinglian Mountain in the future. Are you familiar with the Taoist method I taught you yesterday?"

The boy smiled brightly, and then said loudly: "I have memorized it in my heart, so let me recite it to the master. The Tao can be spoken, but it is not the real Tao. The name can be named, but it is not the real name. The nameless is the beginning of heaven and earth. The named is the mother of all things. Therefore, always be free of desire to observe its wonders..."

Somehow, the pool of green lotus opposite seemed to understand the Taoist mantra from the boy's mouth, and the green branches were budding, and the fragrance was overflowing.

The old Taoist's eyes saw it clearly.

At this time, as the blue-clothed boy recited the Taoist mantra, his body was emitting invisible extremely yin water spirits from the inside out, moistening the green lotus in the opposite pool like fairy dew, making it flourish.

"This child, his body is pure, his spirit is perfect, it is really the blessing of Qinglian..." The old Taoist looked at the child with eyes full of love and hope, as if he saw a being who could surpass himself in the future.

From that day on, Liu Haiyu's goal on the path of Taoism was to represent Qinglian Dojo in the battle for the title of "Tianxianzi" in Zhongyuan Continent in a few years, and to obtain the title of "Tianxianzi", to honor the master's sect, promote the Taoist tradition, and protect Qinglian Dojo.

Every day of his time should be spent in cultivation. Being able to spend half a year with Yun Qiaoer on Tuling Island is already a luxury for Liu Haiyu.

In the next few days, every morning, Yun Qiaoer would go to the beach with Liu Haiyu to watch the sunrise, and she was still unwilling to go back and forth until the sun rose high.

On this day, there were still three days before Liu Haiyu originally planned to leave Tuling Island. But Liu Haiyu decided to return to Zhongyuan Continent in advance.

Before, Yun Qiaoer agreed to use her spirit pig to carry Liu Haiyu for a journey, and send Liu Haiyu safely to the shore of Zhongyuan Continent before saying goodbye.

But Liu Haiyu was afraid that he would not be able to say goodbye to Yun Qiaoer, and his determination to return to Zhongyuan Continent would waver. Even a person as strong as Liu Haiyu could not get around the bondage of emotions. Therefore, Liu Haiyu left a handwritten letter to Yun Qiaoer and decided to return to Zhongyuan Continent in advance.

The letter was very short, with only a few words.

"When I reach the top of Mount Tai, I will come back to Tuling Island to find you."

The top of Mount Tai is the site of the final battle of the "Heavenly Fairy" battle in Zhongyuan Continent, and it is also the place that the top cultivators in Zhongyuan Continent yearn for.

His love for Yun Qiaoer has become one of the motivations for Liu Haiyu to practice hard. People who truly understand love will not simply indulge in it. Love is often the greatest motivation for achievement.

...

On the shore of Tuling Island, Liu Haiyu decided to leave alone.

"The Tao follows nature, and the heart of Tao is like water..." Liu Haiyu whispered the secret language of Taoism, and his emotions were restrained.

He took a step forward, stepped on the blue waves, and stood in the wind. His body was as light as a feather, hovering there, wearing a blue dress like water.

He was like a faint blue in the painting of the sky and the sea, small but not humble, he had his own color.

He stretched out his right hand straight, and a fist-sized, crystal clear blue water appeared in his palm. As he gently waved his arm, the ball of blue water was quickly stretched and became straight and slender. As the water waves fluctuated, the Ruoshui Sword was faintly visible in the transparent water.

"Buzz" sound!

Shuiluo Sword came out, and a circle of invisible sword power centered on the Ruoshui Sword swung out.

The huge void trembled, and the sea surface under his feet was immediately lifted by this powerful force to form a circle of huge waves more than ten feet high. The sky-filled, exciting waves were a piece of heavy color splashed in the Tianhai painting, and Liu Haiyu standing in the center was the master of this painting.

It seemed to be swearing to Tianhai that he would definitely come back.

Sword!

Extraordinary momentum!

Man!

Also extraordinary momentum!

...

If Xu Yang was here, he would definitely complain, just go away, why are you still trying to be cool.

Liu Haiyu threw the Ruoshui Sword in his hand lightly, and said softly: "Follow me."

The Ruoshui Sword seemed to understand his command, and it made a crisp sword sound, like the sound of a horse.

The tip of the sword deflected, drew a blue arc in the air, and stopped obediently on the sea in front of him.

He floated forward very lightly, and his feet stepped on the sword body of the Ruoshui Sword.

Liu Haiyu looked back at the direction of the Tuling Island, and his eyes showed reluctance. Looking back, his eyes were more determined.

Immediately, the Ruoshui Sword carried Liu Haiyu away on the wind and waves, and a long, fish-tail-like splash of water was left behind, as if telling the beautiful memories of her and him in those days, until her figure disappeared in the sea of ​​​​sky.

The painting of the sea of ​​​​sky returned to its previous appearance, a deep blue.

...

An hour later, Yun Qiaoer, dressed in white, ran over anxiously on the shore where Liu Haiyu set off.

At this time, she was eager to miss her lover. Without the dignity of the saint in the past, her messy steps, flying clothes and black hair are her unruly youth.

"Haiyu, wait for me, I have something to say to you——"

Seeing that there was no one on the shore, Yun Qiaoer was a little anxious. She stood barefoot, tears in her beautiful eyes, and shouted in the direction where Liu Haiyu left.

Her shouts swept across the sea and spread far away, but it was always empty.

She cried.

Tears flowed down her cheeks, and she rushed into the sea desperately.

The whole person jumped up like a white fish that broke free from the restraints of the sea.

Her figure drew an arc on the sea surface, and her body suddenly burst out with a wild breath in the air.

Yun Qiaoer's figure also changed accordingly, her chest became full and round, and her originally slender legs were put together to form a streamlined fish tail, with more silver-white scales. The sun shone on her body, reflecting colorful spots of light, sacred and full of vitality.

Yun Qiaoer, who had transformed into a mermaid, plunged into the water.

She flew like the wind on the sea, twisting her powerful tail, and leaping out of the sea every time. Nothing could stop her, and she headed straight for the Zhongyuan Continent.

"Flowers in the Rain. Haiyu Qiaoer" The East China Sea is surging for thousands of miles, asking for the heart of the Tao, and the blue clothes are like water. The night is falling, the moon is reflected in the mirror pool, and the jade-colored beauty is on the back. The three thousand roads are the most emotional, and the sky and the sea are decorated with the fragrance of two flowers. The rain turns into clouds and sorrow, reluctant to leave, and tears of love.

…

Liu Haiyu, who had just come from the East China Sea and stepped onto the mainland, stood on the shore with his hands behind his back.

"Zhongyuan Continent, I, Liu Haiyu, am back." Liu Haiyu whispered. But his voice was extremely firm.

After speaking, Liu Haiyu argued the direction and strode away.

Liu Haiyu, who had just walked a short distance, suddenly stopped. He felt a pair of familiar eyes behind him looking at him expectantly. He couldn't help but look back slightly and paused for a moment.

But he didn't turn back completely, and he straightened his body again and went in the direction of the Qinglian Dojo.

…….

On the sea behind Liu Haiyu, Yun Qiaoer, who looked like a half-man and half-fish, floated out of the sea. Looking at Liu Haiyu's departing back, she wanted to shout, but couldn't, and tears flooded her throat.

After a while, she smiled.

That tearful face smiled, it was a happy smile.

Yun Qiaoer looked at Liu Haiyu's distant back and seemed to be satisfied. She firmly believed that the man who refused to look back would come back to Dong Haitun Ling Island to find her one day.

From this day on, fishermen who went out to sea to fish on the coast of the East China Sea would occasionally hear mysterious and beautiful songs in the sea area in the direction of Dolphin Ling Island.

Yun Qiaoer, who looked like a mermaid, sat on an unknown small reef in the sea, looking at Zhongyuan Continent and singing aloud.

The East China Sea is quiet and peaceful, allowing me to swim freely. The East China Sea is full of spirits and is peaceful and tranquil. The blue water is like a string, the sound of the waves is like a song, and my heart is reluctant to leave...

The song floated across the sea, across the mountains, across the rivers... maybe it could really float to where that man was.
