Clouds and Waters

However, Yun Chenxiao and Shui Xin met for the first time after a long separation, and the pent-up feelings in their hearts can be broken by stones and broken by the sky. Sincerely, but ran to this ghostly place in the backcountry to sell wontons?It turned out that the two of them were tired of staying in the inn that night, so they wanted to go out for a walk, and happened to come across a wonton stall here.The two could smell the fragrance and couldn't bear to sit down.The two talked and laughed, a bowl of wontons was like getting used to honey, it tasted sweet in the mouth, and it stuck to the teeth and throat, and it was enough to eat it.Unexpectedly, when it was time to check out, I realized that I was in a hurry and forgot to bring the silver.Yun Chenxiao originally said that he would go back and get it, but Shui Xinyou would not bother, so he only gave the stall owner an emerald bead that he carried with him as wonton money.

The beads are round and bright, emerald □□□□□□, the night is even more dark and deep, and the fine jade emits smoke, so it is of great value.He only felt distressed when he saw Yun Chenxiao, and blamed Shui Xinyou for being too generous.Shui Xinyou only said that she used it as a hidden weapon, and even stunned Yun Chenxiao and said: "Good guy, Xiao You'er uses money like this, even if you give her a country, it won't be enough for her to practice for half a year." Hidden weapons. Let’s just say it’s better not to use swords or guns, it’s dangerous and cost money! In the future, you need to be persuasive and persuasive.”

The stall owner didn't care much, he kowtowed thank you when he got the beads, he was so happy that he didn't even want the wonton stall, he called "Xiaocui, daughter-in-law", and ran away in a hurry, leaving a greasy wonton stall for him. Yunshui two people.

Grand Master Shui was in a good mood tonight, seeing that all the ingredients and utensils were available here, he suddenly became interested, and wanted to make a bowl of wontons for Miss Yun.Miss Yun naturally couldn't get what she wanted, so the two started fighting.Unexpectedly, before the fire was lit, the four of Murong Wan had already arrived.Yun Chenxiao knew that Shui Xinyou had a good face, and wanted to cover it up, but it was revealed.

Everyone smiled after hearing this.Murong Wan was not hesitant, but she pretended to be nonchalant and said: "I really didn't expect Senior Sister Xinyou to be so interested? It seems that Senior Sister Xinyou is really special to Xiaoyun..."

Shui Zhihuan had wontons in his mouth at this moment, rolled his tongue and exhaled heat and muttered: "Yes, senior sister, it's rare for you to cook! Why don't you tell me to cook a meal for junior sister?"

As soon as the good-natured Ning Yufan heard this, he hurriedly moved to Shui Xinyou's side, chattering endlessly.

Shui Xinyou is majestic and dignified on weekdays, and there are hills and valleys in Wanshi's heart, and no one else can laugh or laugh.However, as soon as Yun Chenxiao came into contact with him, he was sensitive in heart and clumsy in speech, his face flushed, he was slightly angry, and scolded "Damn girl, I'll take care of you carefully", but he became embarrassed.

Seeing the three of them teasing one, Yun Chenxiao hurriedly came out to smooth things over and said, "The four of you don't hurt your back when you stand and talk! Do you think we'll just come out to play? Hmph, hum, we've made a big discovery! !"

Everyone was joking to themselves, but hearing Yun Chenxiao's mysterious tone, they poked their heads out at the same time.Ning Yufan was the most daring and curious, grabbed Yun Chenxiao's arm and said, "Yeah? What's so strange? Senior Yun, tell me quickly!"

At this time, not only Ning Yufan was puzzled, but the rest of them were also puzzled, looking at Yun and Shui, waiting for an explanation.That Yun Chenxiao likes to play tricks the most. Seeing everyone's anticipation, she smiled and said, "Let me tell you, do you know why the Jingxu Iron Box is called the Jingxu Iron Box?"

Everyone planned to listen to the romantic affair between Yun and Shui, but who would have thought that the dog Yun said something wrong, and brought up a box at a critical moment, which is really a disgrace.All of them let out a sigh of relief, pouting, sighing, or glaring, showing great resentment towards Yun Chenxiao.Shui Zhihuan dejectedly said: "Money can't buy people's happiness! People are willing to call it that, so what do you care?"

Wei Na Liu Rumei still smiled and said: "I heard that the Jingxu iron box is a treasure of Middle Earth from Tianzhu, so the word 'Jingxu' is also related to Buddhist scriptures?"

Yun Chenxiao laughed, took a look at Shui Xinyou, and Shui Xinyou clapped his hands and praised: "Wuxing Jinmen is proficient in tricks and calculations, and I think I have also studied this Jingxu iron box. That girl knows this 'Jingxu' What is the source of the two characters? What is the story?"

"This..." Liu Ru said with a look of embarrassment on her eyebrows: "I know very little about Shi Dao, and I hope the head of the sect will explain it clearly."

Shui Xinyou waved his hands and said with a smile: "Miss Liu is unparalleled in both piano and tea. You don't have to be modest. In fact, I don't know if this 'Jingxu' is a term in Buddhist classics, but this mirror and iron box will last for generations. Passed down, it has always been called the Jingxu Iron Box, and naturally, I didn't think much about the reason. But today, thanks to Yun Xiaogou's reminder, it made me suddenly enlightened..." He said tenderly, looking at Yunchen Xiao.

Yun Chenxiao understood, and said: "Well, the so-called mirror probably means a mirror, and the things in the mirror, the water and the moon are all passing illusions, so they are naturally nothingness. That's why it's called 'mirror virtual', then..."

"Nonsense, nonsense, a lot of nonsense!" Yun Chenxiao hadn't finished his sentence, but Ning Yufan interrupted impatiently: "Senior Yun, can you get straight to the point?"

Yun Chenxiao said unhurriedly: "The important point? This is the important point. Since the owner of this box calls it 'Mirror Xu', it means that this box is actually just a flower in the mirror, an illusory thing, and it is useless at all !"

The other four people present were shocked when they heard this.Even if Murong Wan didn't care about the Jingxu iron box, she couldn't help interjecting at this time: "Then, the countless conflicts in the world caused by this box in the past hundred years are actually meaningless and futile. The box is just... a piece of trash?"

Murong Wan's words hit everyone's thoughts.Shui Xinyou said with a slight smile: "That's not all. Since there is a 'mirror void', there should be a 'object reality'. If there is no 'object reality', how can there be a 'mirror void' phantom? So to reveal this secret The key is to find this 'real thing'. If you just study this fake iron box blindly, I'm afraid it won't help."

Everyone was silent after hearing this.Yun Chenxiao said again: "To tell you the truth, in fact, Xiao You'er and I have opened one layer of this mirror iron box. The other layer is easy according to Hetu's mathematical technique. It's just that this big box is covered with a small box , opened layer after layer, just like..." He suddenly stood up, and said seriously: "Everyone has looked at the bronze mirror, right? I don't know if you have tried it, sitting in front of the bronze mirror, holding the other side Mirror, according to the scene in the bronze mirror, what will happen?"

The four of them were shocked when they heard the words, and thought for a moment in silence. Liu Rumei said slowly: "If Miss Zhaoyun can do what she says, the two mirrors will echo each other, and they will be layer upon layer, endlessly looking at the virtual image in the mirror."

Yun Chenxiao patted his thigh, nodded and said, "That's right, that's exactly it! In this case, the person in the mirror is looking at the mirror, and the person in the mirror he is looking at is still looking at the mirror, like this. Together, it seems like a phantom of superimposed images. I think this mirror iron box may use the principle of the person in the mirror to look into the mirror to confuse the line of sight, so that the layers are stacked, so that people will never reach the end."

Ning Yufan gesticulated at the side, thought for a long time, and then suddenly realized: "Yes, yes! I understand! Then, how to open the box so as not to be confused by the mirror image?"

Yun Chenxiao chuckled, and said, "It's still Xiao You'er's words, find out the 'truth' to break the 'mirror'."

Everyone was in high spirits, but when they heard this, they all lowered their heads.Thinking about it, this mirror iron box is already full of phantoms and cannot be broken, so it is even more difficult to find something real now?At that moment, the few people reluctantly ate a few mouthfuls of wontons, and returned to Zhiweixuan listlessly.

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

On the way, Yun Chenxiao was chatting and laughing with everyone, when Ren Du's two veins suddenly swelled, followed by a burst of internal energy of the five elements flowing out from the dantian, filling all limbs and bones.Yun Chenxiao hurriedly restrained her luck, but she didn't know that this force seemed to be attracted by magic, it could come and go freely, and she couldn't control it at all.

Yun Chenxiao's shock was no small matter, one must know that the five elements' true qi echoed in unison, seeking each other with the same qi, and the one who could arouse the turmoil of the true qi in this way must be a person with extremely high and pure internal energy.Who else but that weird old man?Yun Chenxiao remained calm in the face of danger, knowing that the old monster was nearby, and he came here this time because of the Nether Demon Sword, assuming it would be harmless to others, and for the sake of safety, before the old monster showed up, he whispered orders He said: "Miss Liu, please take Sister Wan'er and go back from the east. Ah Huan, take Yufan and go back from the west. Hurry up!"

Before everyone could react, Yun Chenxiao stretched out his hand to hold Shui Xinyou up, and with all his strength, he ran towards the south as if flying.

After walking for about five or six miles, Yun Chenxiao felt that the real energy in his body was no longer surging, thinking that he had escaped from the clutches of the old monster, so he stopped and said, "Xiao You'er, I just..."

"Hush!" Shui Xinyou covered Yun Chenxiao's mouth with his left hand, put his right index finger between his lips and said, "Don't talk, there are enemies nearby..." As he spoke, he jumped up and jumped to the nearby deep in the grass.

Seeing that Shui Xinyou was serious, Yun Chenxiao whispered in her ear and asked, "How do you know there is an enemy? Who is it?"

Shui Xinyou raised her brows slightly, held Yun Chenxiao's arm tremblingly and said, "It's not that I know, but the Nether Sword, the Nether Sword has a sense... There are enemies..."

Yun Chenxiao was slightly stunned and said: "How do you know that the Nether Sword has a sense? Could it be that you carry it with you? But why didn't I see it?"

"Hey, little fool, the so-called sword is in the heart. Haven't you heard of 'human and sword unite'? Hmph, how did your father teach you?" An old and hoarse voice sounded eerily from behind Yun Chenxiao.

"Human and sword in one?" Yun Chenxiao responded, and was about to answer, but suddenly felt a chill in the back of his head, a strong wind came suddenly, and the voice of the person behind him was not quite right, obviously it was, it was obviously that old monster!

Yun Chenxiao yelled "ah", before turning around, she pushed Shui Xinyou far away and said, "Xiao Youer, hurry up..."

Before the word "go" came out of his mouth, the old monster's eyes were like lightning, and his hands were like pincers, he had already clasped towards Yun Chenxiao's pipa bone.Yun Chenxiao didn't wait for the old monster to grab her shoulder, and jumped out backwards.

Shui Xin gave a soft drink, and drew up her sleeves to help.Yun Chenxiao knew that the old monster's martial arts were very strong, and this time he was determined to win the Nether Sword, so Shui Xinyou might be in danger.As soon as Yun Chenxiao thought about this, he turned his heart away, but he stopped dodging, raised his palms, and struck down at the same time with the force of wind and thunder, so he wanted to deal with the boss, so as to gain time for Shui Xinyou to escape.

The old monster waved his hand back, and said with a chuckle: "Baby, you can't be overestimated, now it's not a martial arts competition!" As he spoke, Yun Chenxiao's palms met him.The old monster slapped out with one palm, and the moment Yun Chenxiao's palms touched Yun Chenxiao, Yun Chenxiao felt an infinite sticky force on the old monster's hand, and she was tightly attached to his palm, and then moved forward Not half a point.

Yun Chenxiao was horrified, poured all her strength into her arms, and wanted to withdraw her palm, but she couldn't. In desperation, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and fight hard.The old monster snorted coldly, and suddenly, all the strength in Yun Chenxiao's body disappeared into nothingness.You have to know that one thing is one thing, this old monster's internal strength is the nemesis of Yun Chenxiao's true energy, and Yun Chenxiao really hit the gun.As soon as the huge force was withdrawn, Yun Chenxiao immediately lost his balance, staggered and fell, facing the door downwards, and fell like a shit.

Seeing this, the old monster laughed loudly and said, "My son, get up quickly, I don't need to salute you!"

Yun Chenxiao was so angry that his face turned pale, he raised his head and was about to say something in return, but suddenly saw Shui Xinyou from top to bottom, holding a soft belt around the old monster's waist, and shouted loudly: "Old man, If you have something to say, don't hurt people!"

The old monster didn't even raise his eyes, and said: "Well, the little girl from Shuimen is here to join in the fun? Tell me to see if your kung fu has improved!" As he spoke, he turned his feet, and his body swept like a swallow, Ping flew a foot away.

Shui Xin is condescending and has great advantages. She dare not relax her hands. The two soft belts are like jade dragons soaring into the abyss in her hands. With a rustling sound, Hurricane rushed forward, and the soft belt was like a spring silkworm spinning silk, surrounding the old monster in the soft belt.

However, that old monster is really agile, his figure is flickering and unpredictable, he has already changed thousands of directions in an instant, and the soft belt can only surround him for a while, but he can't shrink back, but he can't help it half point.

Yun Chenxiao wanted to step forward to help at this moment, but he saw Shui Xin fluttering softly, surrounding everything inside like a wall, Yun Chenxiao didn't know where to start, and was stunned for a while, at a loss what to do , Regardless of the critical situation, she admired Shui Xinyou Tian's wonderful figure like a tapestry like a drunkard.However, how did she know that Shui Xinyou was waving the soft belt with both hands at this time, which consumed a lot of internal energy, and she was already sweating profusely from exhaustion.

At the moment of stalemate, the old monster suddenly turned around and stood face to face with Shui Xinyou.Shui Xinyou ignored him, pulled out a soft belt with his left hand, and directly attacked the old monster's throat.The old monster stood up, didn't try to save himself, instead took the offensive, turned his palm outwards, turned up, waited for the soft belt to get close to him, he immediately arched his ten fingers, and was about to reach out to catch it.

Shui Xinyou sneered, pointing east and west with the tip of his belt, and stabbing from the side, brushing the old monster's white hair, and said: "It's a good trick of 'stepping on the ground and lifting the sky'! I just don't know if senior can catch it or not." Chengjiang Bailian who lives in the younger generation!"

The old monster didn't answer, he let out a loud shout, and showed his unique skills, his hands were as long as canes, he bowed left and right, spinning like wheels, tightly wrapped around Shui Xinyou's soft belt.As soon as the soft belt was touched, a bone-chilling chill spread along the palm of the hand, through the Heart Meridian of Hand Shaoyin to the ulnar side and the chest.The old monster sensed something was wrong, but it was too late to stop, so he had to close his meridians to prevent the cold air from spreading, and shouted: "What an amazing girl, at such a young age, she can actually give energy to things?"

Shui Xinyou tightened the soft belt, and reluctantly replied: "Senior has no enmity with me, and I have no choice but to take action. Senior, you..."

Before Shui Xinyou could finish his words, a sharp and cold inner force rolled in his hands.Shui Xinyou couldn't cry out well, it turned out that the old monster purposely lured Shui Xinyou to speak, causing her internal energy to disperse.That old monster already possessed superb internal energy, taking advantage of Shui Xinyou's slackness, he breathed out to stimulate his energy, and sneaked in, overwhelming Shui Xinyou's sudden Shuimen internal energy.

As the saying goes, "There is no first in literature, and there is no second in martial arts."When it comes to contests and fights, there must be a winner.Shui Xinyou has a competitive temperament, and he can't tolerate others to deceive Xiaopei. This old monster has really violated the big taboo of the Grand Master at this time.

Shui Xinyou didn't withdraw his strength at the moment, but raised his eyebrows and raised his breath, concentrating his mind, a cold and vigorous aura came out of his palm, and he was exhausted with that old monster.

That old monster has gone through several dynasties, is over a hundred years old, and has practiced martial arts all his life. In terms of pure and strong internal energy, there is no one else in the world.If Shui Xinyou was fighting him directly with internal fists and kicks in this contest, Shui Xinyou would be overwhelmed by the old monster's palm, and he would be seriously injured if he didn't die.However, although the old monster's internal strength is profound and his explosive power is huge, he falls short of the word "long-lasting".No matter how deep your inner strength is, it cannot withstand your daily wear and tear.But Shui Xinyou is quite different. Although her internal strength is not as advanced as that of the old monster, she is in harmony because of the five elements.Water produces wood, wood produces fire, fire produces earth, earth produces metal, and gold can regenerate water.Such a cycle goes on and on, and there is a tendency that it will never be resolved.So in this competition, as long as Shui Xin drags the monster for a while, the odds of winning will increase by three to five millimetres.However, that old monster's inner power is at its peak in the Spring and Autumn period at this time, and the rolling chill is like the waves of the East Sea, like Mount Tai pressing down on the top, like soldiers approaching the city, like everything is lost, how can Shui Xinyou survive?In an instant, Shui Xinyou's face and lips were pale, her knees were sore and limp, and she seemed to be exhausted.

At this moment, Yun Chenxiao's clothes were already wet with sweat, and his heart was jumping with fear.One must know that the competition of internal strength is extremely dangerous, unless there is a master whose internal strength is higher than the two on the field, they can coordinate it, otherwise, not only will they be defeated, but they will be injured by both of them.Although Yun Chenxiao's internal energy of the Five Elements is strong, he is not sure that he will be able to overwhelm Shui Xinyou, let alone that unpredictable old monster?Without any further hesitation, Yun Chenxiao clenched his fists and shouted: "Old monster, let Xiao You'er go, I promise you, I will definitely do it! What sword, box, all for you!"

When the old monster heard the words, he only glanced at her and didn't answer, but his hands didn't loosen, and beads of sweat already oozed from his forehead.Yun Chenxiao was in a hurry, and cried, "Your grandma's big monster, let go! If you dare to hurt Xiao You'er, I will use the Nether Sword to chop you into mincemeat!"

After a while, the old monster's face was ashen, and he took a deep breath, let out a long "ah", exhausted the remaining strength in his body, and retracted his arms forcefully, only heard a loud "pop", and the water The soft belt of Xinyou was torn, and it was shaken into countless fragments and fell lightly. Forced by the strong internal force, the two flew backward together like arrows leaving the string. With a "bang", the old monster hit a towering tree behind him and cut it in half, and then fell heavily on the ground, already unconscious.

Yun Chenxiao walked like flying, leaped forward, stretched out her arms to catch Shui Xinyou, let go of her body strength, leaned her in her arms and said, "Xiao Youer, you...are you alright?"

Xiao You'er opened her mouth, forced a smile, but before she could say a word, blood spurted out.Yun Chenxiao raised his sleeve to wipe it away for her, got up and hugged him, and said anxiously: "This... Xiao Youer, let's go to the doctor now, hurry..."

"Don't...don't...don't go..." Shui Xinyou lay in Yun Chenxiao's arms, tightly clutching the skirt of her chest with both hands, and said intermittently: "Hurry up now... that old monster is injured, Go...go grab the Jingxu iron box, so as to avoid future troubles..."

Yun Chenxiao raised her eyebrows upside down, and comforted her softly: "Silly Youer, what time is it, are you still thinking about that? No, I think your internal injury is serious, I have to heal your injury first, other things, Let's talk when you are well!" After that, he found out the dry and soft grass, put Shui Xinyou down, put his palms against her vest, adjusted the five elements in his body to heal her injuries.

In an instant, a neutral, peaceful, and boundless inner force was introduced from the Sanyang Meridians of Shui Xinyou's hands and feet. After being in position, it recycles and regenerates, and at the same time responds to the internal force replenished by Yun Chenxiao.This way of coming and going, repeated several times, the two have gradually entered a better state.Coupled with the experience of fellow practitioners last time, this complementary and mutual assistance is even more familiar, and it will always be beneficial.Two fellow practitioners, there is me in you, and you in me, you are me, and I am you, what I want is this state of two becoming one, what I want is this tacit understanding of mutual understanding, what I want is—you I am the heaven and the earth, and the square inch is the universe.Everything is vain, only two hearts exist.
