Clouds and Waters

There are many fairy mountains in the middle of Shu, and Emei is difficult to match.There are many places with beautiful scenery in Sichuan, and Mount Emei can be regarded as the best among them.Mount Emei belongs to the Minshan Mountain System and is located in the south of Meizhou City, Sichuan.Namin Mountain is surrounded by hills and peaks, extending for more than [-] miles. Three peaks protrude from here. The two peaks face each other, slender and beautiful, like the head of a moth, and the eyebrows of a moth, hence the name of the mountain.

Emei Golden Summit, located on the main peak of Emei, is full of scenic spots and temples, and has always been loved by celebrities who are obsessed with haze.Among them, the most prestigious Sichuan Emei School in Sichuan practiced here.Xu is because the mountain is called "Emei", Xu is the deep and steep land of Shu, the rain is moist and ethereal, nourishing the peerless elegance of this famous school in Shu, the most accomplished master swordsman of the Emei Sword School since its establishment, all It's a woman.Originally, the rivers and lakes were sinister and bloody, and most of the famous men were men. Occasionally, there were one or two outstanding chivalrous women who took a place in the martial arts world. , is indeed an anomaly.It's just that, it seems that the male disciple is mediocre.In addition, the Emei swordsmanship is known for its agility and elegance, and is more suitable for women to practice. Therefore, since the previous head of the Emei School took over the sect, he no longer recruited male disciples who practice Qi and sword, and only allowed some women with strange bones Enter the room.Those male disciples can only do odd jobs as rough envoys.

On this day, in the grand hall of Emei Jinding, three people sat facing each other in the shape of "pin".The white-clothed woman in the upper seat has icy muscles and bones, with an orchid-like temperament, holding a teacup in her hand, with a spring-like face, watching everything in the hall with a smile.The seat on the right is a woman who is nearly forty years old.The woman was only dressed as an ordinary Taoist nun, her hair was neatly tied up in the Taoist crown, she wore a long sword at her waist, and held a dust whisk in her hand, her expression was neither sad nor happy.On the left side is a young woman, but she is about 20 years old, and she is quite beautiful. At this time, she is looking at the white-clothed woman in the upper seat intently, and enviously said: "Thanks to my beauty, it turns out that it is true." There is a sky beyond the sky. This grand master of the current dynasty, Mr. Shui, is actually such a beautiful and beautiful woman."

Seeing the embarrassing atmosphere in the hall, the lady in white put down the teacup, tapped the table lightly with her fingers, and said with a smile: "I don't know what Master Du intends to say about what I just said?"

That woman is the current head of the Emei Sect, Du Yuheng.The previous head, that is, Du Yuheng's master, Gao Lingshuang, known as the "Emei Sword Immortal" by people in the Jianghu, is a great master of a generation.Her early experiences were quite bizarre, and after countless bloody storms, the Emei School finally flourished in her hands and flourished day by day.However, her favorite disciple was not Du Yuheng, the current head of Emei, but Chu Yuxi, a young woman who was sitting beside him in a daze.

Chu Yuxi is Gao Lingshuang's youngest closed disciple.She is intelligent, highly savvy, and beautiful. Gao Lingshuang loved her very much during his lifetime and asked her to be by his side all the time.In his later years, Gao Lingshuang even passed on all the secret books and methods he had learned and realized throughout his life to this lovely little apprentice.Just when everyone thought that Gao Lingshuang was going to pass on the headship to Chu Yuxi, she unexpectedly chose Du Yuheng as her successor.

Du Yuheng is Gao Lingshuang's chief disciple, and her peers call her "big sister".This "big sister" Du Yuheng follows the rules and is meticulous in her daily work. She is more than stable but lacks vigor, and she never exceeds the etiquette.Since taking over as the head, she has only firmly adhered to the century-old foundation established by her master and master. Although she has made no great achievements in the past few years, she has also made no major mistakes.It's just that the disciples of the Emei School have since then restrained their arrogant and heroic temperament, and become very low-key.It seems that the character of this sect is closely related to the character of the leader.

"In recent years, the Emei faction has seldom traveled in the rivers and lakes, and has never participated in sect disputes, let alone court storms. I am afraid that my martial arts are low, and it will be difficult to take on a big job. I'd like to ask Mr. Shui to find another master!" After Du Yuheng said this sentence , just waved the fly whisk, then closed his eyes and said nothing, just like an old monk in meditation, quite a bit like seeing off guests.

The white-clothed woman in the seat is the Chief Assistant of the Kingdom, First Grade Grand Master Shui Xin Youshui.But that day Yun Chenxiao knew that the commander of the Shu army was his former classmate Luo Feng, so he had an idea to conquer Sichuan: to lure Luo Feng to surrender, to open the door of Sichuan with internal and external cooperation, welcome the imperial army to enter Shu, and win King An in one fell swoop.This plan does not require large soldiers to overwhelm the country and lay dead bodies everywhere, nor does it use too much money and energy from the imperial court. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.But this plan has the biggest drawback, which is Yun Chenxiao's safety.Although Yun Chenxiao is strong in martial arts, two fists are no match for four palms, the opponent has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, Yun Chenxiao goes deep alone, he is afraid that he is close to death.However, Yun Chenxiao was full of self-confidence and said, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch a tiger's cub, so you just ask Shui Xinyou to give him a month."If there is still no movement from her after one month, it means that the other party is strong and clear, and there is no hope of inducing surrender; if Yun Chenxiao returns with a soldier talisman after one month, it will be the day when the imperial court enters Sichuan in a large-scale manner.

In addition to King An, there are also many factions in the rivers and lakes of Sichuan. There are only famous schools, such as Emei, Qingcheng, Tangmen, etc., and there are countless other schools with a relatively shallow foundation.Although the people of Chuan are not aggressive in combat, these sects are very popular among the common people for the reason of strengthening their bodies and gathering energy to practice kung fu, and they will have no worries about food and lodging after joining the sect.At first, the imperial court didn't pay much attention to this power in the rivers and lakes that was about to move.But sparks start a prairie fire, they gather a lot of peasant children, and their power is growing day by day. If they rise up when the imperial court is trying its best to cut down the vassal, the imperial court will suffer from the enemy, and the consequences will be disastrous.

Shui Xinyou, the governor of the Central Plains, has made great foresight after he came to the court. He has shown both kindness and power to these reckless rivers and lakes, obediently appeasement, and Nilin's extermination. The Central Plains martial arts are all under his control. It is beyond reach.Yun Chenxiao suggested that the two of them split up, one persuaded the general to surrender, and the other recruited Cao Mang.Although Shui Xinyou was worried about Yun Chenxiao's safety, but considering her high martial arts, it was hard to match in this world. Although she would not be invincible to ten thousand people, it would not be difficult to escape calmly.In addition, Luo Feng is originally Yun Chenxiao's old friend, and he also has the style of a modest gentleman.The two armies did not fight each other, and it was expected that there would be no big difference, so they also followed Yun Chenxiao.

The words are divided into two ends.Hearing Du Yuheng's words, Shui Xinyou's face darkened with displeasure, and said, "Why did Master Du make such a statement? The general trend of the world is that those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish. Right now, the imperial court Sichuan is about to be regained. If wars break out, your Emei faction will want to be alone, but I’m afraid you won’t be able to. Why don’t you submit to the court now and use it for the emperor. If you are wise today, you will be rewarded for your merits, and your Emei faction will still be worried about the glory Karma, is it a great achievement?"

As soon as Shui Xinyou finished speaking, Du Yuheng changed his indifferent expression, and said with a rare laugh: "Master Shui, you think highly of Yuheng. You are a hero among women, a heroine, and Yuheng admires you It's just that not everyone has your ambitions and aspirations. My Emei faction lives in a corner and has a shallow foundation. Here, Lord Shui, please rest assured. My Emei Sect will neither help the court nor King An, and is just a middle-of-the-road sect."

Shui Xinyou had always heard that Du Yuheng was cautious, but when she saw her today, she realized that the rumors were true.It seems that Gao Lingshuang's biography was in her back then, because she liked her calmness and prudence, and wanted her to be the master of success.Shui Xinyou was depressed and angry at first, but after thinking about it, this kind of person should not be against the court.The Emei School has many disciples and has a long-standing reputation. If it can be elected as the martial arts leader of the schools in Central Shu in the future, it will be the best to serve the court; Just one eye.Figured out this joint, Shui Xinyou nodded and smiled: "Since ancient times, we have been seeking wealth and danger. Senior Gao Lingshuang has been open and close all his life, and he has gone through ups and downs before he carried forward the Emei School. How arrogant he is. But unexpectedly, the head of Du Xianyun Yehe did not No aggressiveness. That’s all. If Head Du insists on not wanting this big opportunity in front of him, I, Shui Xinyou, will no longer be difficult for others. It’s just that I have to watch the orthodox sects like the Emei Sect decline and wither. This seat is really unbearable."

After Shui Xinyou finished speaking, she let out a long sigh, and was about to walk away, when suddenly a goose-yellow figure blocked her way.Shui Xinyou was about to speak, but the person said softly: "Senior Sister, I think Master Shui's words are not unreasonable. It is not easy for Master to make achievements, so don't let this opportunity go to waste. !"

Shui Xinyou was taken aback for a moment, and looked at the man intently.I saw that person with picturesque features, plain face and delicate appearance, not wearing Taoist robes, wearing a goose yellow long skirt, a light gauze smock, and a milky white sash around his waist, elegant and beautiful.Shui Xinyou wondered in his heart: "There is such a brilliant person in the Emei School. Everyone knows that the mountains and rivers in Sichuan are beautiful, and the climate is pleasant, which is really good." Because of the help here, Shui Xinyou has a little more affection for her.

"Xi'er, don't mess around!" Du Yuheng scowled with a downcast face, and then said to Shui Xinyou: "Master Shui, this is my junior sister Chu Yuxi. Don't worry about it, Master Shui."

Shui Xinyou suddenly nodded and said: "It turns out that this is the heroine Chu Yuxi who is known as the 'Emei Little Sword Fairy' by people in the Jianghu. He has heard about her name for a long time, but seeing her today, she is indeed young and beautiful, and her reputation is well-deserved."

Chu Yuxi was inexplicably praised by Shui Xinyou, the corners of her mouth curled up, a red cloud appeared on her face, and she cupped her hands and replied, "Master Shui has heard of my name? Don't you just fool me? Yuxi has heard it for a long time." Master Shui's name, I admire him very much."

Shui Xin Youmu was gentle, with some appreciation, he pulled down her saluting hand and said, "There is no need to be too polite. Yuxi, what two words are there?"

Chu Yuxi was pulled down by Shui Xinyou, so she wrote her name on Shui Xinyou's hand.Shui Xinyou clapped his hands and smiled: "What a beautiful woman is like jade. It seems that I am a little older than you, so you can call me sister." Then he said to Du Yuheng: "Master Du, the cooperation between the Emei faction and the court , it’s a business matter, I hope headmaster Du will think it over carefully. I hit it off with your junior sister very much, but this is just a personal relationship, headmaster Du doesn’t care about it, right? "

Du Yuheng saw that Shui Xinyou was a bit wanton and indulgent. Although he was smiling, there was a bit of sharp look in his eyes, and he couldn't help frowning and said: "Well, since Yuxi is in love with you, she will see you off. Let's go." After saying that, he left the guests behind and left without looking back.

"Senior sister, you are really old-fashioned and weird." Shui Xinyou was too lazy to talk to Du Yuheng, turned around and said, "Sister Yuxi, I am going to go down the mountain now. You and I have known each other for a while, so I will remind you one more thing." .You Emei faction don’t want to have a bright future, so that’s fine. But, don’t go against the grain and become King An’s eagle dog, otherwise you will die if you do many injustices. The world is in chaos now, sister Yuxi take care of it.”

"Master Shui..." Chu Yuxi lowered her head and bit her lower lip lightly, and quickly changed her words: "Sister, are you leaving now?"

Shui Xinyou spread her hands resentfully and said, "Otherwise? Your sister-in-chief is stubborn, so I'm afraid it's useless to talk too much."

"I..." Chu Yuxi took a step forward in a murmur, holding the long-sleeved robe of Shuixin, and said innocently: "Mount Emei is beautiful and the most beautiful in the world. Sister, why don't you stay for a few more days, Yuxi will be your guide and guide you It is worthwhile to enjoy the scenery in the mountains.”

At this time, the two of them stood facing the abyss, when the mountain wind blew, the water heart was draped in the wind, and they climbed into the distance, but they saw the greetings of the ten thousand mountains, the mountains and hazes, the clouds and the clouds, and the flying electric lifts. Can't help but praise: "The scenery here is really beautiful. It's a pity that the little cloud dog has no chance to see it. Hey, I don't know how she is going..."

Chu Yuxi sees that Shui Xin is carefree and thoughtful, and seems to be integrated with the mountains and ravines and the spirit of heaven and earth. She feels more and more unfathomable, her aura is cold, and she is fascinating.The two were silent for a while, and Shui Xinyou said: "Sister Yuxi deliberately keeps guests, maybe it's not as simple as traveling in the mountains and rivers."

Chu Yuxi only felt that she was often blamed in front of Shui Xinyou, and she couldn't hide her thoughts at all, so she blushed unconsciously and said, "When my master was alive, the Emei School was so brilliant. She is just like your sister, with great ambitions. He also has a great talent for strategy. It's a pity that after her old man passed away, Senior Sister Yuheng kept a low profile all day long, and the reputation of my Emei Sect is not as good as before, which is really a pity."

Shui Xinyou has seen countless people. Although Chu Yuxi hides half of it, Shui Xinyou can understand her deep meaning.But when she saw that Chu Yuxi was so young, she had such thoughts, so she joked: "Hearing what my sister said, it seems that I have a lot of resentment towards your senior sister in charge? Maybe she also silently resented your master and her old man in her heart. Why don't you give the master jade ring to our little friend Yuxi?"

"Sister..." Chu Yuxi stumbled and said angrily: "I have a sincere friendship with my sister, but my sister makes fun of it everywhere. Forget it, let's not talk about it. I will follow the order of the head and send my sister down the mountain, and I dare not say a word !" After saying that, he turned his head, neither looking at Shui Xinyou nor speaking.

Seeing Chu Yuxi's expression, Shui Xinyou knew that she was successful in her youth, had few setbacks, and was also a person who was favored by thousands of people, so she couldn't help being a little arrogant and willful, which was quite similar to when she was young.Although the Emei faction was not considered a success in recruiting security, at least they no longer opposed the court, so it was half the success.Thinking of this, I couldn't help feeling pity, and persuaded me seriously: "Yu Xi, your master doesn't let you be the head of the sect, because he really loves you. Be cautious. Keeping your own business is more difficult than starting a business, but people in the world are superficial. They always only recognize the army of pioneers and disrespect the successful generals. In fact, your senior sister is walking on thin ice and struggling every step of the way. Yuxi, you have to understand your master and senior sister A piece of good intentions."

After all, Chu Yuxi was not deeply involved in the world, and her temperament came and went quickly. Hearing Shui Xinyou's persuasion, she blinked her watery eyes and said curiously: "Sister, didn't you come here to recruit you? Why are you speaking nicely for the senior sister?"

"I saw that my sister has a close relationship, so I have a few heart-to-heart words with you." Shui Xinyou patted Chu Yuxi on the shoulder, and said softly: "If I were the head of Emei, I would not easily give up my luck. Give them all to a guy with unknown origin. This is like gambling. Now the kings are fighting against the imperial court, and the power is indistinguishable. If you win this bet, you will just get more money, fame and fortune and other things outside your body. If you lose, you will be The family is ruined, and even their lives are in danger. Who would be willing to participate in such a gamble? It is the wisest move for the head of the Du sect to take care of himself and sit on the mountain and watch the tiger."

Chu Yuxi only looked at Shui Xinyou, and smiled as if he didn't hear anything: "What if someone is willing to bet?"

"Aren't you afraid of going bankrupt and your life in danger?"

"Not afraid!"

"What's your bet?"

"Emei Sect! My entire Emei Sect is willing to follow Master Shui."

Shui Xinyou saw that the girl suddenly became agitated like crazy, she was deeply inexplicable, and asked: "What I said just now was not to retreat, but to persuade you from the bottom of my heart. You and I met by chance, why did you bother to throw away your family and career? This gamble?"

"Because..." Chu Yuxi smiled brightly, her face was like a plum: "Sister is knowledgeable, have you ever heard of 'the white head is as new, and the cover is as old'? I believe in my sister, so I am willing to send me Emei into this game. If I win, I will be named Bo Yishi ;Even if they lose, they will make a comeback, it’s still unknown.”

Shui Xinyou was quite helpless towards this girl who didn't know how to know the heights of heaven and earth, and asked again: "If you win the bet, what do you want?"

Chu Yuxi smiled even more intensely, her eyes almost bent into a crescent: "Sister, you might as well guess."

Shui Xinyou looked at her expression, shook his head and said, "It's fine if you don't guess. I'm afraid I won't be able to afford it, and I'm afraid you won't be able to afford it." After finishing speaking, he glanced at Emei Jinding behind him, and said, "The game is over. .But your bet is not yet in place. When it is in place, come to me to talk about the harvest." After saying that, he used his lightness kung fu and drifted away.

Seeing that she was about to leave without finishing her sentence, Chu Yuxi hurriedly chased her for a few steps, but Shui Xinyou's beautiful figure had long since disappeared. "What a handsome lightness skill! No, it's obviously a fairy who walks against the wind." Chu Yuxi thought for a moment, took a deep breath, took out an emerald ring from her bosom, held it in her hand for a long time, and said to herself: "Master , Tuer has overstepped. I hope you, the old man, have the spirit in the sky, and bless Tuer to accomplish this great event!"

The author has something to say:

Separate each other and become invincible in the world.Well, the current state of clouds and water is like this. . .
