Clouds and Waters

Yun Chenxiao knew very well that this strange old man's martial arts were so high that it was bottomless.Even though Shui Xinyou wasn't weak, he couldn't compete with the old man after all. He was anxious and panicked at the moment, but he was several times more nervous than Shui Xinyou on the field.

In just this moment, Shui Xinyou had already fitted himself up, waving his sleeves, sometimes hard and sometimes soft, for a long time and sometimes short, he started to fight the gray-clothed old monster.That old monster was quite at ease, he could always fend off Shui Xinyou's menacing attack lightly, and said to Yun Chenxiao with a smile, "Good girl, did you find the iron box? Haha, be good!"

Yun Chenxiao frowned, and said sharply: "Old monster, if you dare to touch a hair of Xiao You'er, I will immediately throw that tattered iron box into the sea!"

The strange old man laughed and said: "Good boy, you don't have to lie to me. The iron box is on this girl, you have to throw the iron box, unless you also throw this girl in, hehe, are you willing?"

Yun Chenxiao was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: "When did this old man become smart?" The plan failed, and she was rather anxious, and looked at Shui Xinyou with concern.But seeing Shui Xin's long sleeves deflecting the wind, stiff and straight, like a white sword, with a cold light, piercing towards the strange old man's chest fiercely.

The strange old man gave a strange cry, protected his chest with one hand, and punched and palmed with the other, they came one after another, fighting with Shui Xinyou's white sleeves.Shui Xin's long sleeves gushes out like waves, coming and going without a shadow, stretching and contracting freely.That strange old man sucked water like a long whale, swallowing the world, just in time to defuse Shui Xinyou's turbulent attack.Shui Xinyou couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to switch to attacking and defending. The strange old man's shots were not spicy, and he always left Shui Xinyou a way out, but he just clicked.Even so, Shui Xinyou was already overwhelmed, struggling left and right, and her heart was getting heavier and heavier, thinking: "This old man is very powerful. It's not that he doesn't take action, but he wants to see my foundation." Even so, she How could she be negligent at all, seeing that the attack was unsuccessful, she hurriedly turned around, bowed her waist, retracted her sleeves, suddenly showed her palms, flew straight into the sky, and pushed towards the strange old man's head.

The strange old man laughed and said: "Well, what a baby! The move just now was 'White Rainbow Shocking the Sky', um, and 'Sky Up', this move is probably 'Flying Snow on the Floor'?" His voice said As soon as they landed, there was a chill around them.I can only see a vast expanse of whiteness on top of the strange old man's head, I don't know what it is, it really looks like white snow, surrounding him.

Yun Chenxiao looked intently, and the white things were actually ice needles with guns and sticks.The internal force that Shui Xinyou has learned is the power of ice and water, which belongs to the air of softness and coolness.Therefore, it is possible to control these ice needles and defeat the enemy at critical moments.It's just that "Flying Snow on the Loutou" consumes a lot of internal energy, and Shui Xinyou's martial arts moves are smart and chic, and the changes are due to her own talent, intelligence and deep comprehension.But to practice internal strength, one must always be solid, step by step, there is no shortcut to the end, and there must be no ambiguity.Firstly, Shui Xinyou is still young and her cultivation level is not high enough, secondly, relying on her cleverness and working very hard to learn internal energy, she often slacks off.So even though she was able to forcefully use this move of "Flying Snow on the Floor", it lacked momentum and strength, more than fierce, but not thick enough.Not only that, but she also tried her best to make this move, expending her true energy, and her body fell on the spot and couldn't stop panting heavily. If she wanted to take the opportunity to attack again, it was absolutely impossible.

It was too late and then quickly, the strange old man was not afraid of the all-pervasive ice needles, he moved his ten fingers up and down, his body was nimble, like a nimble gray bird, holding all the ice needles in his hand, coldly With a smile, he said: "Girl, just relying on your half-toned kung fu to fight with me, it would be nice to leave a whole body. Let's just talk about the 'loutou flying snow', you are neither strong nor accurate, My old man catches these ice needles and throws them back, tell me, is your life still alive?"

At this moment, Yun Chenxiao had already stepped forward to help Shui Xinyou up, and Shui Xinyou's internal energy was greatly exhausted, and she couldn't help panting against Yun Chenxiao.When Yun Chenxiao saw her pale face, sweat dripping like rain, her heart felt like a needle pricking her heart, and her heart ached.Seeing that the old man was so arrogant again, he was very dissatisfied, and said loudly: "Strange old man, don't talk big! Xiao You'er's unique move has not been used yet, don't you think we are afraid of you..."

"Puppy..." Shui Xinyou called out in a low voice, Yun Chenxiao was taken aback, and hurriedly lowered his head and said, "What's wrong? What's wrong with you?" Shui Xinyou ignored her, and raised his voice: " The old man is right! Thank you for your mercy, old man."

Yun Chenxiao was startled, looked at Shui Xinyou in surprise, and thought: "You girl, why are you so unyielding on weekdays, but now you are so cowardly? Could it be that you will be fierce to me?"

In fact, why doesn't Shui Xinyou want to have a big fight with arrogance?It's just that today's matter really confuses her.It's not because this old man's kung fu is outstanding and unfathomable, it's because of the names of his moves, this strange old man can call them out exactly.Not only that, but he also knew this move like the back of his hand. Once Shui Xinyou made a move, the strange old man immediately knew her next two or three changes.It's like playing chess, the opponent knows your next move and the next move.In this way, Shui Xinyou was completely led by him, and he had no initiative at all. If he continued to fight this way, even if he had exhausted all his life's knowledge, not only would he not be able to win against him, but his physical strength would be wasted instead.Shui Xinyou wanted to pass this test, so he lowered his head, called the strange old man "old senior", and comforted himself in his heart: "He is familiar with Shuimen kung fu, maybe he is really a senior Shuimen."

Yun Chenxiao didn't fight the old man, how could he know that Shui Xin was thinking?Just silently looked at the old man.I haven't seen her for a few days, and the old man is not as unkempt as when he saw her for the first time. He has already changed into a gray robe, his long hair is tied up with a hairpin, and his beard seems to be trimmed. It is also a hale and hearty look.Yun Chenxiao sighed secretly: "Old monster, is it possible that you are not crazy? Oh, this is going to be difficult..."

The strange old man stood aside and looked at Yun and Shui, he was stunned for a while and said: "Well, girl in white clothes, who are you Xue Haoran? This feminine internal force seems to be her direct inheritance."

When Shui Xinyou heard the old man mention the name of the Patriarch, his heart was shocked, and he thought about it, and replied: "Senior, Xue Haoran is the next Patriarch. I am Shui Xinyou, the fifth generation disciple of the Shuimen of the Five Elements Gate."

The strange old man nodded slightly, looking up at the sky with his hands behind his back, as if thinking.Yun Chenxiao whispered next to Shui Xinyou's ear: "Fool, why are you telling him that you understand so much?"

Shui Xinyou glared at Yun Chenxiao and said: "Damn puppy, you are stupid. This person must have a lot of connections with the patriarch, otherwise he wouldn't be so clear about my martial arts. It's close to the set, maybe it will work. .”

Yun Chenxiao twitched her lips and said, "This old man has a big enmity with Xue Daxia, if you say that, you are clearly asking for trouble!"

Shui Xinyou let out a "bah", raised her elbow, and pressed Yun Chenxiao's chest hard.Yun Chenxiao yelled in pain: "Damn girl, you still hit me after this? You've offended me, so I won't help you anymore."

Shui Xinyou raised her head and said: "Go, who wants you to help? I can do it myself." But he said in his heart: "Damn puppy, if you really leave me, let's see how I will deal with you in the future!"

Yun Chenxiao looked helplessly at Shui Xinyou, moved her lips, but didn't speak anymore, shook her head and let out a long sigh, instead of letting go, she pulled Shui Xinyou closer.Shui Xinyou's heart felt sweet, and she couldn't help but rejoice.She was straightforward, but she didn't say anything, but she already regarded Yun Chenxiao as one of her own in her heart, so she had no scruples and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Yun Chenxiao sighed: "What are you laughing at? It's not that I dare not do it. Now you and I are truly in the same boat. A grasshopper on a rope can't run away. I won't help you Who will help you?"

Shui Xinyou was about to speak, but he heard the strange old man say: "You two little devils, what are you muttering about? Hmph, don't you want to play tricks. Girl in white, for the sake of you being a disciple of Shuimen, put your mirror Hand over the virtual iron box, I won’t make things difficult for you.”

Shui Xinyou and Yun Chenxiao were dumbfounded when they heard this, and thought, "Maybe this old man has a grudge against Master Zhilan, but he is on good terms with Master Ye? Otherwise, why would he say 'for the sake of Shuimen'? superior'?"

"Why? If you don't hand it in, instead, ask me to do it myself?" The strange old man was already a little impatient seeing that the two were silent.

Shui Xinyou gritted her silver teeth, and was about to speak, but Yun Chenxiao hurriedly stood up in front of Shui Xinyou and said, "Old man, what about me? My acupoints have been restrained by you, and they haven't been released yet."

The strange old man smiled and said: "You girl talk a lot of nonsense. You still talk about conditions with me? Huh, it's okay to tell you. Your acupoints are injected by me with the five elements of true energy. Each of your five internal organs and blood energy is sealed. So There is a real qi flowing in each of your five internal organs. Don't underestimate them, this real qi can save you. When you passed the second level in Qingyaxuan, it was the anger generated in your heart that could resist the gold. The old man's golden sword kills you, otherwise how can you be safe and sound?" The strange old man said with a slight smile: "Unless you are proficient in the five elements, the characteristics of body changes, and possess the five internal forces, you can unlock the prohibition of your acupoints. I'm afraid you won't meet such a master in this world. Hehe, in fact, there is no harm in keeping the five elements true energy in your body. In times of crisis, it can save your life. As long as you listen to me, I will refill you regularly With one piece of true qi, keep the five elements in balance, and you will naturally have no worries about your life and spend your old age in peace."

After hearing this, Yun Chenxiao scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, old man! In this way, I have to listen to you in everything, wouldn't I become your slave? You are so old, what if If I go west on a crane, wouldn't I die too? No way!"

The strange old man frowned, and said displeasedly: "You fart! I can't die even if anyone dies! Hehe, let me tell you, I really live a long life, otherwise I wouldn't be standing here with you little baby Talk. Where do you think Xue Haoran is now? Where is Monk Mingkong? Where is Tan Chengdao, the leader of the Qinglian Sect who was so famous and overshadowed the sky with one hand? Huh, and that fart child Xue Wenbin, who became the emperor, so what? Long live, long live, long live! Years old? Hahaha, isn’t it just a mound of loess? See who’s long live in the end?”

Hearing his laughter, Yun Chenxiao felt hairy and shivered for no reason.Shui Xinyou said in a low voice: "This old man is really weird. He is talking about people from the rivers and lakes a hundred years ago. There is even my Emperor Gaozu. Could it be that he is really over a hundred years old?"

Yun Chenxiao gasped, and said, "Probably. At this point, we have no choice but to take one step at a time and play by ear." After saying that, she gave Shui Xinyou a wink.Shui Xinyou already knew it in his heart, and said in his heart: "Stinky puppy, you actually thought of going with me." So he said loudly: "Old senior, if you want the mirror iron box, this junior can give it to you now, as long as you want it." I beg you to keep your promise, we are going to Changbai Mountain, so please don't make things difficult for us along the way."

The strange old man nodded in a hurry and said, "It's easy to say! Bring it!"

Shui Xin pondered for a while, took out the mirror iron box from his bosom, and threw it to the strange old man.The strange old man took it in his hands, looked and looked carefully, and then happily said: "Okay, it really is Jingxu, it really is! God treats me well after all! Hahaha..."

Yun Chenxiao didn't want to hear that strange old man's laughter anymore, so she pulled Shui Xinyou up and wanted to leave.It's just that Shui Xinyou lost his internal strength just now and walked extremely slowly.Yun Chenxiao looked at her with concern and said, "Are you okay?"

Shui Xinyou shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's just that the internal energy loss is too great. Just go back to the cabin and recuperate."

Yun Chenxiao had no choice but to support her and walk forward slowly, complaining: "You, don't stop the delicate work without the diamond. It's clear that you don't have enough strength, but you still have to make something like 'floating snow on the building', that's it, You didn’t hit anyone, but you looked like this yourself. See if you will show off in the future?”

Shui Xinyou said angrily: "If I don't use superior kung fu, what will I do if I get hurt by that old man? You are a stupid dog, and you don't know martial arts. You can still play tricks, and it's useless at critical moments."

Yun Chenxiao said with a smile: "Okay, you are amazing. Didn't you also give the iron box to that old guy?"

Shui Xinyou frowned, looked back, and made sure that the old man couldn't hear them anymore, so she raised her hand and knocked Yun Chenxiao on the head: "It's not because of you, a dead dog!"

Yun Chenxiao said with a chuckle: "Not bad. That old man is just the opposite of me. He has great martial arts skills, but he is so stupid. I guess he can't open the iron box, and he will come to beg us when the time comes. Hehe, as long as he has something to ask for Me, I have a way to turn defeat into victory. This is not in vain, Xiao You'er, you worked so hard to save me."

Shui Xin gave her a white look, but for some reason, the originally uneasy mood gradually calmed down because of Yun Chenxiao's talking and laughing.Yun Chenxiao also had joys and worries in her heart, whether she could get the iron box back or not, she was not sure after all.I don't have the strength to restrain a chicken, and Shui Xinyou is too far behind that old man, can he win with just tricks?But how could she say frustrating words at this critical moment?At the moment it's just gagging, teasing Shui Xinyou to be happy, all kinds of troublesome things, let's stay alone at night and think about it.

************************************************** ***********************

The moonlight is like washing, and the night is deep.The sound of the waves is still the same, and the sea wind is howling.Yun Chenxiao saw the sea for the first time in his life.It was such an adventure to go out to sea for the first time.She was thinking obsessively, staring at Shui Xinyou who was meditating with her eyes closed on the bed.It has been four or five hours since she came back, and she has been sitting here like this, neither eating nor drinking, without moving.As long as she sat, Yun Chenxiao looked at it for as long as she did. Facing such a pure and pure fairy, with such a natural beauty and peerless appearance, she would never get tired of watching her.The icy muscles are not polluted by lead, no matter when, even when she is in the most embarrassing situation, in Yun Chenxiao's eyes, she is as pure as snow, noble and Qinghua.That strange old man really kept his word and didn't come to harass them.It is estimated that the mystery of the mirror virtual iron box is being studied now.

"call……"

There was a light and easy cry.Yun Chenxiao was overjoyed, got up and sat beside Shui Xinyou and said, "Are you ready?"

Shui Xinyou slowly opened his eyes, loosened his muscles and bones and said, "It's all right. I carry Yuhu powder with me, which is a good medicine for regulating breath and nourishing qi. It's almost done now."

Yun Chenxiao smiled reassuringly, and said, "That's good. By the way, are you hungry? Get up and eat something."

Shui Xinyou said with a smile: "I'm hungry. Go find me something to eat."

Yun Chenxiao nodded cheerfully, and as soon as she stood up, she realized something was wrong, she turned her face in embarrassment and said, "That... Xiao Youer, where is the food?"

Shui Xinyou chuckled and said: "I think you are hungry, and you can't find anything to eat yourself, so you presume to give it to me."

Yun Chenxiao frowned in embarrassment, and wanted to refute a few words, because Wu Nai was really hungry, and he was screaming "cuckoo" over there.

Shui Xin said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. You have been in a coma for two days and two nights. You haven't eaten, so you must be starving." Immediately when she got up, she was about to look for food.Seeing that her physical strength had not yet recovered, Yun Chenxiao couldn't bear to make her tired, so she asked where the food was stored and found it by herself.

This ship is expected to be a long-distance sea ship with a special grain and water warehouse.Yun Chenxiao found the granary according to Shui Xinyou's guidance, but saw that although it was big, there was not much food and fresh water.Yun Chenxiao picked up some dry food and was about to go out when she thought, "Xiao You'er is weak, how can I eat these things? It's better to eat something warm." When she came, she passed a cabin that seemed to be The kitchen, so I made up my mind, took some rice and took it to the kitchen.Fortunately, the kitchen is well-equipped with everything you need.It's just Miss Yun Chenxiao, where has she come into contact with such pots and pans?Now carefully recalling Xiaoqi’s cooking process when he was at home, after working for more than half an hour, he was so tired that he was sweating profusely, and finally made a pot of porridge that he thought was okay, and brought it to Shui Xinyou’s cabin.

Yun Chenxiao put away the porridge, turned around and saw that Shui Xinyou fell asleep on the bed again at some point.Seeing that she was breathing evenly, Yun Chenxiao presumably fell asleep for a while, she must have waited for too long and couldn't bear it and fell asleep.

Yun Chenxiao secretly scolded herself for being useless, paced to Shui Xinyou's side, it was not right to call out for a while, and it was not true if she didn't call out, so she could only stand there in a daze, watching Shui Xinyou lost in thought.

"I don't want her to be so good-looking when she sleeps?" Yun Chenxiao was thinking, and saw Shui Xinyou frowning and turning over from time to time, as if in pain. "I don't know what's on this girl's mind. Although she always looks like she's the only one who respects me, there must be some pain in her heart..." She was surprised when she thought of this, and said, "Ah... By the way, then When she was guessing riddles, her look... Could it be that someone really broke her heart? Someone failed her? For a character like Xiao Youer, whoever broke her heart is really a big bastard! If I want to know, I He must be smashed into ten thousand pieces, sent to the eighteenth level of hell, and not allowed to be reborn... Alas, but, who am I to call her..."

Yun Chenxiao just stood there in a daze for a long time, Shui Xinyou seemed to have noticed something, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Yun Chenxiao staring at him with piercing eyes, and he didn't know what the hell he was thinking.Shui Xinyou stood up suddenly, and said with a mixture of joy and anger: "Smelly puppy, are you peeking at me again?"

Only then did Yun Chenxiao come back to his senses, facing Shui Xinyou's eyebrows and eyes, close at hand, his body froze suddenly, his heart jumped wildly, his face was burning, and he stammered and said in a trembling voice: "Xiao Youer... I ,I think……"

Shui Xinyou always felt that something was wrong with this puppy, and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Yun Chenxiao lowered her head, as if her heart was about to jump out, she gritted her silver teeth, her heart froze, she suddenly opened her arms, and hugged Shui Xinyou in her arms.

Shui Xinyou was taken aback, and suddenly his body was on fire, he forgot to struggle in the panic, and asked with a blushing face, "What are you doing... What are you doing?"

Yun Chenxiao kept doing nothing, retracted his arms, and hugged Shui Xinyou tightly, hugging Nephrite and Wenxiang, but he didn't speak, and he didn't know whether it was because of nervousness or excitement, his whole body was trembling.

Shui Xinyou was so ashamed that she struggled and said, "Smelly puppy, let me go!"

Normally, even ten Yun Chenxiao would not be able to trap her, but at this time Shui Xinyou's internal energy was depleted, and even though she had taken the good medicine for conditioning, her body was still very weak.Coupled with the fact that Yun Chenxiao was overly nervous at this time, his strength was several times stronger than usual, and the two of them ebbed and flowed, and Shui Xinyou couldn't help but struggle for a while.

Feeling Shui Xinyou struggling, Yun Chenxiao took a deep breath, and said softly, "Xiao Youer, don't move. I...I just want to hug you. If you struggle again, I will..." She paused, then calmed down and whispered: "If you struggle again, I will kiss you..."
