Clouds and Waters

The three of Yun Chenxiao and his party came to the second floor, and saw that it was quiet, elegant and antique, not as gorgeous as the first floor.Yun Chenxiao nodded and said, "Only here does it feel a bit more elegant, it's not as noisy as down here."

The waiter in the shop said in a nonchalant manner: "This is the characteristic of my Qing Yaxuan. Don't you know the guest? Our place can be elegant or vulgar, and can be literary or military. Teahouses, poetry clubs, gambling houses, brothels, teaching workshops, theaters , as long as you can think of it, we have it all here."

Yun Chenxiao was stunned and said, "Oh? It's a complete set. Hey, where are the gambling houses and theaters you mentioned? Why haven't I seen them?"

But Murong Wan didn't wait for the waiter to reply, and said loudly and angrily: "You are selling dog meat! There are still..." As she said, she stomped her feet, pulled Yun Chenxiao up and said, "It's too early to see such a dirty place. Good to go!"

The waiter in the shop smiled and said: "Guest officer, why is the gambling house and brothel considered a dirty place? You are making a lot of fuss." After saying this, he said to Yun Chenxiao: "Does the guest officer want a gambling house or a brothel? Little one I'll take you there... the girls here, they look like gods, they're ashamed of each other!"

Yun Chenxiao pretended to be surprised and said "Oh", pulled up Shui Zhihuan who had been bowing his head in silence, opened his eyes wide and asked the shop waiter, "How do those girls compare to her?"

The shop waiter was tongue-tied and anxious for a long time, before saying: "This, this...Young master is joking, how can those girls, how can they compare with this young lady?"

Yun Chenxiao snorted softly and said, "I'm not as good-looking as this young lady, so I don't need to brag here, just lead the way honestly."

The waiter in the shop was bored, and walked in front resentfully.Yun Chenxiao curled her lips and stopped talking.However, Shui Zhihuan asked timidly, shyly, and anxiously, "Where is Qing... brothel? There... are there many beautiful women there?"

"what?"

Yun Chenxiao, Murong Wan, and Dian Xiaoer yelled out almost in unison.After Yun Chenxiao was stunned, she laughed out loud "hahahaha", Murong Wan said angrily, "What are you laughing at, Junior Sister Shui lives in seclusion, it's common to not know."

Yun Chenxiao suppressed a smile and said, "Okay, being famous is worse than meeting each other. After I pass the first five levels, I will take you to the brothel to see and see."

Among the Five Elements Gates, Shuimen is located in the north and lives on Changbai Mountain.Shui Zhihuan has practiced martial arts with Shui Ling, the master of Shuimen since he was a child, and most of his fellow teachers and sisters also do the same, and rarely go down the mountain.Shui Ling himself has a lonely personality, he likes to be alone and dislikes groups, apart from urging his disciples to practice martial arts, he rarely talks about worldly affairs.Therefore, Shui Zhihuan knows little about the colorful world, and his heart is as clear as a piece of white paper without smearing, free from distracting thoughts.This time when I came out with Shui Xinyou, it was the first time she came down the mountain, she was very curious, and asked about anything she didn't know. At this time, she heard that Yun Chenxiao was going to take her to gain knowledge, she was very happy in her heart, and said happily: "My sister is serious, don't lie to me."

Yun Chenxiao was dumbfounded. Facing such a pure and innocent woman, she, who has always been eloquent, was also looking forward to love at this moment.Murong Wan glared at her and said angrily, "Stop joking with Junior Sister Shui, she doesn't understand."

Yun Chenxiao said with a smile: "Look at what you said, she just understands if she doesn't understand? I haven't been there either!"

Murong Wan chuckled and said, "Not serious..."

Shui Zhihuan looked at the two, still ignorant and incomprehensible.

While joking, the three of them walked into a room.The furnishings in this room are extremely simple, there are a few chairs in the room, an Eight Immortals table, and a small incense burner beside the table, exuding a delicate fragrance that is refreshing.There is a picture of a lady hanging on the wall, the windows are wide open, and the breeze comes in with the sunshine. Although it is simple, it is comfortable and comfortable.

The waiter in the shop clapped his hands, and then another woman came, about seventeen or eighteen years old, holding a pot of tea in her hand. The fragrance of the tea accompanied by the incense of the censer was refreshing.

The shop clerk smiled slightly and said, "The first level is tea tasting. Guest officer, please."

As soon as he said this, the three of them were all stunned.Yun Chen Xiaoqi said: "This is also a pass? What kind of skill?"

The shop waiter replied: "Exactly. This cup of tea is brewed from five kinds of tea leaves. As long as the guest officer says that three of them are correct, it will pass this test."

Yun Chenxiao couldn't believe it, and said, "This... what kind of rules is this? It's okay, change it..."

The shop waiter said blankly: "This is the rule in my shop. It is a teahouse, so tea tasting is the first priority. If the guest officer admits defeat, it's okay, so please pay the money and go downstairs."

Yun Chenxiao frowned and said nothing, thinking to herself that she was not sure.But Murong Wan smiled and said: "Well, how about I try it? I don't want to see your boss, if I win, just count it on this young master."

The waiter in the shop hesitated for a moment, looking a bit embarrassed, Yun Chenxiao put his hand into his arms, threw him a silver coin and said, "Brother, it's just for this one time, it's not an example."

The waiter took the money and nodded reluctantly.Yun Chenxiao was overjoyed, and looked at Murong Wan intently.Murong Wan smiled at Yun Chenxiao, confidently took the teacup from the woman's hand, put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it lightly, then took a sip, closed her eyes for a moment, and said: "Inside, there is the West Lake teacup." Longjing, and, uh, Junshan Silver Needle, Liu’an Guapian, and..." He frowned at this point, took a sip, and then raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Yes, there are Anxi Tieguanyin. Hehe, I don’t want to mix these several flavors of tea together, it really has a special flavor. I have learned a lot today.”

The woman serving the tea was originally standing there with a frosty face, but when she heard Murong Wan's words, she let out a soft "Huh", a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, but then it dimmed, and she looked at Murong Wan drinking tea with a half-smile look.

Looking at her expression, Yun Chenxiao probably guessed it pretty well, and immediately said happily: "Wonderful, wonderful! Brother, is my friend right?"

The shop waiter whispered a few words to the woman, nodded and said: "Guest officer is right, that's good, you have passed the first level. Let's pass the second level." After saying that, he waved his hand, and the woman was about to retreat, but Murong Wanhu said: "Girl, please stay!"

The woman serving the tea turned her head suddenly, and said with a blessing: "What else can you order, my lord?"

Murong Wan smiled unnaturally: "I want to ask the girl, you just said that there are five kinds of tea here, but now only four kinds are tasted, there is one more, what is it?"

The woman smiled indifferently and said: "Don't you know the mystery of it? You have a sharp tongue, my lord, how dare you make a fool of yourself? In fact, there are only four kinds of tea in it. It's just that there are very few tea masters like you, so I had to do it." There are four kinds of tea, and the visitor only needs to guess two of them correctly. Unexpectedly, the young master answered all of them today, which is really amazing!"

The waiter hurriedly shouted from the side: "Miss Liu, don't say any more..."

The woman surnamed Liu said unhurriedly: "Yes. Rumei has said too much. Farewell..." After saying that, Lian Lian walked away slowly.

Yun Chenxiao read casually: "Ru Mei? Liu Rumei? Hehe, what a lotus is like a face and Liu Rumei. Not only is she beautiful, but her skill in making tea is also top-notch." She patted Murong Wan on the shoulder and said with a joke: "Wan Son, Miss Liu, she treats you differently!"

Murong Wan unconsciously smiled, and glared at Yun Chenxiao, but hesitated to speak.

While talking, another man entered the room.But I saw the man with delicate features, well-dressed, and a smile on his face looking at everyone.Yun Chen Xiao said: "What kind of trick is this?"

The man said: "This is the second level. The second level is to roll the dice and guess the number."

Yun Chenxiao laughed and said: "That counts? Haha, what a Qing Yaxuan. There are teahouses and gambling houses. Well, I am good at this. It's a piece of cake, just let the horse come here."

The handsome man smiled and said: "Oh? Is that so?" After finishing speaking, he took out a dice cup from his pocket and said, "Guest officer, there are ten dice in this dice cup. To pass the second test, one must not miss any of them." Guess, how?"

Yun Chenxiao couldn't help but said in amazement: "This... this... also..."

The handsome man looked at Yun Chenxiao with disdain.Yun Chenxiao looked at Murong Wan helplessly, and saw that she was also frowning, looking like she had no good plan.

Yun Chenxiao sighed, and said in his heart: "If that's the case, then bite the bullet and give it a try!" When he took the next step and was about to face the battle, Shui Zhihuan whispered: "Why don't I try it? "

Yun Chenxiao was taken aback, and said in astonishment: "Miss Shui, what can you do?"

Shui Zhihuan said: "My master told me to practice ear and mind since I was a child. I also tried this game of throwing dice. However, I haven't practiced for a long time. I don't know if it is possible."

Yun Chenxiao knew that each of the Five Elements Sect had great powers and unfathomable depths, and Shui Zhihuan was not one to boast, since she dared to say it, she seemed to be somewhat confident, so she nodded.

Shui Zhihuan stepped forward, and said softly, "Please... ask your lord to roll the dice."

The handsome man saw Shui Zhihuan's beauty and elegance, and his fragrance was unremarkable, he stared blankly for a few more times, and then said: "Yes, the lady invites you." After saying that, he raised his hand, and swung the dice cup from left to right.Yun Chenxiao looked intently, and saw his hands moving back and forth, left and right, as fast as a strong wind and lightning, Yun Chenxiao only felt a flower in front of him, except for the dangling blurred hands, there was nothing Can't see either.Looking at it for a while, the hand seemed to be getting slower, slower, and closer, until finally it was right in front of my eyes. Slowly, slowly, Yun Chenxiao's heart fluttered. A burst of confusion and fascination, as if my body was so light and light that I was about to fly, and I was drowsy, but I was tightly attracted by that hand, and I couldn't stop it.

Suddenly, the shaking speed of the hand in front of him suddenly accelerated again, like a whistling wind, a blue dragon soaring into the sky, accompanied by the sound of metal and spear intersecting, sonorous and powerful, extremely sharp, like the long cry of a night owl, but louder than that More than a thousand times?Yun Chenxiao heard that her eardrums were about to pierce, and she tried all her strength to cover her ears with her hands, but she couldn't move an inch. She was already sweating profusely in a moment, her whole body was tense, her face was pale, and she was about to lose her mind. When Qing was on the verge of falling, suddenly a hot current surged in his body, roaring like a fire dragon going up against the current...

Murong Wan saw something strange in it, knew something was wrong, hurriedly closed her eyes tightly, secretly channeled her internal energy, and tried to resist the chirping sound, but the sound entered her heart from her ears, turned into a force, and circulated back and forth in her veins, as if It just runs counter to the inner strength she has learned, no matter how she destroys the inner strength, she just can't suppress the airflow.Not only that, once this air current meets her true energy, it will be like a fish in water, and when the fire meets the strong wind, it will intensify and become uncontrollable.

Murong Wan's internal energy is limited, gradually, she only felt that the air flow was like a demon sucking her internal energy, exhausting her internal energy, and tightly suppressing the flow of tendons, making her blood stagnant and depressed.Murong Wan was getting weaker and weaker, she staggered a few steps, and suddenly her legs gave way and she was about to fall to the ground.Suddenly at this moment, there seemed to be a pair of hands behind her helping her, holding her firmly and holding her beside her.This familiar taste, familiar feeling, who is it not Yun Chenxiao?Murong Wan leaned against Yun Chenxiao's body as a pillow, and felt that her cold heart gradually warmed up, and there was still a faint palpitation.

After the sound of "哗啦", the sound stopped abruptly, everything was silent, and the world was quiet, as if nothing had ever happened.

After a while, Murong Wan felt her blood flowing smoothly.She slowly opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was Yun Chenxiao's concerned and flustered eyes.It was the first time she saw such eyes!Murong Wan stared blankly, a little lost in thought, just staring at it like that.This frightened Yun Chenxiao, pinching people and shaking his shoulders in a hurry: "Wan'er, what's wrong with you? What's wrong?"

An electric current flashed through Murong Wan's heart, she smiled and said, "I... am fine, just a little tired."

Yun Chenxiao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You scared me to death. If anything happens to you, I, I have committed a serious crime!"

Murong Wan shook her head, but said nothing.

At this time, the handsome man said: "Little girl, guess what time it is, I'm going to open the cup."

Shui Zhihuan was also sweating profusely, his crescent eyebrows were furrowed, his body trembling slightly as he looked at his frail body, like a leaf, ready to die with the wind at any time, his lips did not have a trace of blood.Yun Chenxiao saw it in his eyes, and worried in his heart: If he hadn't insisted on going his own way, and insisted on going through some barriers, how could he implicate these two girls?Yun Chenxiao was regretful and angry, and gritted her teeth tightly: "What evil magic trick? Harmful!"

The handsome man said: "Small tricks are not worth the young master's compliments, but as for harming others, they are not."

Yun Chenxiao was about to argue again, when Shui Zhihuan said in a low voice, "This...is this Jin Ge's killing from Jinmen? Are you, are you a senior brother from Jinmen?"

The handsome man smiled and said: "Hey, I don't understand what you are talking about? Just guess the points!"

Shui Zhihuan took a deep breath, and said slowly: "These ten dice are arranged in three teams. The team to the east has three dice. From top to bottom, they are six, four, and two. The middle The first team has five coins, all at six points. The westernmost team has two coins at three point five. Brother, am I right?"

As early as when Shui Zhihuan was talking about the first team, the handsome man had a strange expression on his face. After Shui Zhihuan finished speaking, he gasped and shook his head again and again, so shocked that he couldn't say a word.

Yun Chenxiao opened the dice cup without hesitation, and looked at them one by one, but seeing that what Shui Zhihuan said was exactly the same, she wanted to slap that man immediately, and said angrily, "What are you shaking your head for? Could it be that you guessed wrong? ?"

"That's right, that's right." The man murmured, "I shook my head, because I can't believe that this girl has such abilities at such a young age."

Only then did Yun Chenxiao feel relieved: "Then the second level..."

"It's passed." The man hurriedly said: "This girl not only has excellent hearing, but also has top-notch concentration."

Shui Zhihuan said with a smile: "Brother, I'm honored. But I don't know the name of my brother? You must be a disciple of the Golden Gate if you know how to kill with a golden spear, but how can you be a buddy in Qing Yaxuan?"

The man said: "I don't understand what the girl said about gold. This dice-throwing technique was taught by the boss. If the girl has any doubts, you can ask the boss after you have passed five levels." After finishing speaking, he stood up and left. , the shop waiter walked in and cupped his hands and said, "Guest officer, congratulations on passing the second level, please follow me to the third level."

"It's easy to say." Yun Chenxiao replied, helped Murong Wan, walked to Shui Zhihuan and whispered: "Miss Shui, are you okay?"

Shui Zhihuan shook his head and said, "It's okay. The killing of Jin Ge was caused by the internal force of Jinmen, and Jinshui has no birth control, so I resisted with my internal strength, and I managed to survive. But the wooden door that Senior Sister Murong belongs to, I'm afraid it won't be easy. .”

Yun Chenxiao was startled, and said in her heart: "Jin Kemu, it seems that this Jin Ge kill is the nemesis of Wan'er's internal strength." Thinking about looking down at Murong Wan, but seeing her pale face, leaning against her weakly, Haggard all over.Yun Chenxiao sighed softly, and shook Murong Wan's hand vigorously.

Shui Zhihuan said again: "But sister, why did you hear the chilling sound, but you were fine? I don't know what kind of kung fu you have practiced?"

Yun Chenxiao sneered and said: "How can I know how to do it? But speaking of it, it's a bit strange. At first I felt very uncomfortable, but then, suddenly a hot air came from my heart, and then I was fine. Listen to that voice again , and no discomfort at all.”

When Shui Zhihuan heard it, he said "Hey", looked at Yun Chenxiao and said, "From the heart? Hot air? Could it be that sister, you are cultivating the internal strength of the Fire Gate. Yes, the Fire Gate is the nemesis of the Golden Gate."

Yun Chenxiao didn't want to but also knew that the old monster must have done it for her, and she didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse, so she simply stopped thinking about it, followed the waiter in the shop for a while, and suddenly smelled a strong smell. The smell of makeup and powder is accompanied by the strong aroma of wine, and there seems to be faint laughter in the ear, there are men and women, the further you go inside, the louder the sound and smell, Yun Chenxiao can hear it clearly, The laughter of those men and women was babbling and wanton, very evocative and ecstasy.Yun Chenxiao also understood a lot in her heart, her face blushed immediately, and she shouted: "Brother, you... what is this third level?"

"Huh, smelly puppy, you have come to this place, and you still have the face to ask others what the third level is?"

At this moment, a woman's angry voice suddenly came from behind the screen in front, but it did not affect the beauty and softness of the voice at all.Although she knew she was scolding herself, Yun Chenxiao didn't care and smiled lightly, and said: "Hey, I thought I was the only one here! But it turns out...hehe, Xiao Youer, we are What about the fellows?"

Shui Zhihuan was already beaming with joy, and shouted: "Senior Sister!"

Shui Xinyou sneered, and came from the front, dressed in white clothes with long skirts and wide sleeves, wearing a casual and elegant style, without any crowd.Everyone was stunned when they saw that woman's clothes were better than snow, her long hair was like a waterfall, tied casually, sprinkled on top of the snow clothes, it was even more distinct in black and white, willful and free and easy, like a nine-day fairy relegated to the mortal world, without a trace of mortal world gas.Light eyebrows are like autumn water, jade muscles are accompanied by light wind, like orchids in the empty valley, admiring the solitary fragrance, smiling proudly in the world of mortals, and like a cold plum cut, cutting ice and snow, unrivaled independence and solitude.Yun Chenxiao's heart was turbulent, and she thought: "Such a scene, is it a dream?"

Shui Xinyou approached several people, Shui Zhihuan went up to meet them first and said, "Senior Sister, where have you been? I'm so anxious!"

Shui Xinyou patted Shui Zhihuan on the shoulder and said, "What's the rush? What can I do with your senior sister?"

Shui Zhihuan chuckled, Shui Xinyou glanced at everyone with bright eyes, finally looked at Yun Chenxiao, and asked sharply: "Smelly puppy, you must be the one who lured my junior sister in, didn't you?"

Yun Chenxiao hurriedly settled her mind, shook her folding fan and said, "Well, Xiao You'er, don't talk so badly. It's not a kidnapping. It's your junior sister who is crying and making noises. I have no choice but to bring her here if I want to see brothels. ...Aha, I don't want to run into you here, just in time. As I said earlier, her senior sister is here, so I don't need to bother. But, I forgot to ask, Xiao Youer, are you in this chapter? Is it the guest, or the host?"

Shui Xinyou snorted coldly, and said, "Ha, but I don't know if you are the guest or the host?"

Yun Chenxiao said with a smile: "It's just a mere passerby."

Shui Xinyou cursed secretly in his heart: "What a slick guy, he skimmed it clean." Then he smiled slightly and said: "It's the first time I've heard that 'one person order' calls itself a 'customer'."

Both Shui Zhihuan and Murong Wan were startled, and thought: "One person? What's the meaning?" Before he could think about it, Yun Chenxiao said angrily: "One person is big, add a little to make a dog! Tigress, are you calling me a dog again?"

Shui Xin Youqiao smiled Qianxi, her eyes were like crescent moons, her jade face glowed brightly and she said with a smile: "Puppy is very smart!"

Yun Chenxiao was so angry that her face was livid, and she smiled back in anger, "Okay, good you...huh, heh..." When she reached the point of her mouth, she met Shui Xinyou's eyes like a pool of spring water, but her heart was full of tears. Chaos, unable to swear, only turned into a few "hum hum".

Seeing her anxious look, Shui Xinyou said with a little pride in her heart: "Hey, puppy, you asked for this, no wonder me." Then he said righteously: "Stop talking nonsense, puppy!" Son, since you are here to break through, why do you cheat?"

Yun Chenxiao secretly scolded Shui Xinyou for being troublesome, but still raised her head and said confidently: "Where did I cheat?"

Shui Xinyou said with a smile: "Oh? Isn't it? There is an old saying that a dog lifts the door curtain by opening its mouth. You little dog, you have a good mouth, but you have no skills. The first level is this Junior sister Murong Wan helped you pass, and my junior sister helped you pass the second test. Wouldn't you pass the first test by yourself?"

Yun Chenxiao felt a rush of hot air rushing straight to his forehead, and for some reason, it was more sad than angry.Seeing Shui Xinyou's smile at this time, and hearing her slightly mocking words, Yun Chenxiao thought to himself: Hey, why am I being ridiculed by this dead girl, how can I be looked down upon by her?She felt faintly in her heart that it was very wrong to lose face in front of Shui Xinyou, but as for how and why it was wrong, she didn't know, and she didn't want to get to the bottom of it.At that moment, I clenched my fists tightly and was about to answer when I heard a weak but decisive voice from beside me saying: "Senior Sister Xinyou, no, I am... I volunteered to help Xiaoyun, in fact, depending on her ability, she might not be unable to help Xiaoyun." passed."

Yun Chenxiao was taken aback for a moment, looked at Murong Wan whose face was turning pale, and called softly, "Sister Wan'er..."

Shui Xinyou Liu Ye frowned, her face changed slightly, and she pondered for a moment.Shui Zhihuan suddenly interjected: "Yes, senior sister, I am also willing to help Sister Yun. Moreover, Sister Yun's internal strength is definitely not inferior to mine, otherwise she would not be able to withstand the Jin Ge killing from the Golden Gate."

Shui Xinyou grabbed Shui Zhihuan and said: "Ah Huan, don't speak nicely about this puppy!" Then he said loudly: "It's a mule or a horse, pull it out for a walk! The third level, no one else is allowed to help you, you dare to break through ?"

Yun Chenxiao said with a smile: "Why is this so difficult? But thanks to Xiao You'er, you love me wrongly, I am neither a mule nor a horse, so I don't need you to sneak around."

Shui Xinyou chuckled, and said: "Yes, yes, you are not a mule or a horse, but a puppy." Then he stepped forward to tug on Yun Chenxiao's sleeve and said, "Good dog, hurry in now Is it? Do you want me to hold it?"

Yun Chen Xiaotie shook off her hand and said angrily, "If I were a dog, you would be worse than a pig!"

Shui Xinyou was still smiling, pretending not to hear, and not paying attention, Yun Chenxiao couldn't help but walked ahead quickly.Shui Xinyou looked at Yun Chenxiao's angry look, and laughed in his heart, thinking: "Little dog, good dog, hehe... No one will help you in the third round, I'm afraid you will lose."
