Qing Yan

"Rui'er, get out of the hall, to the southwest." The familiar voice echoed in Yun Rui's ear again.

Yun Rui's eyes lit up, and he crawled out of the curtain with hands and feet, only to realize that he was only wearing pajamas.

Looking around, the main hall is empty, except for a glazed lamp in the corner of the hall emitting a faint yellow and soft light.

Yun Rui randomly grabbed a coat and wrapped it around her body, kicked on her boots, and stepped out on tiptoe.

Outside, where did the little maid on duty think that the little master ran away in the middle of the night?He had already fallen asleep on his side.

Yun Rui tiptoed to the outside of the hall, took a deep breath of the cold night air, and immediately the sleepiness in his mind disappeared completely.She was happy in her heart, like a fish returning to the ocean, summoned up her inner strength, and headed straight for Master.

Although she is young, she has received the true biography of a famous teacher and is extremely talented. Along the way, she occasionally heard the path guided by the master's "sound transmission into the secret", and she managed to avoid several teams of inner court guards patrolling at night.

After rushing for half an hour, a spacious land appeared before my eyes.

Yun Rui stopped in his tracks, wiped the thin sweat from his forehead, and stared at it. Under the moonlight, the trees were whirling and their shadows were slanting, which happened to surround an open space of more than an acre.At this time, a familiar shadow stood alone in front of the trees, like a stalk of bamboo, which could not be shaken even by strong winds and storms and stormy waves.

Green shirt, thin, with such an air of arrogance and aloofness, who is she if she is not the master?

Yun Rui's heart became hot, he couldn't care about anything, he let out a joyful cry, and rushed over——

"Master!"

The woman in the green shirt turned around quickly, and caught her small body that jumped into her arms like a baby swallow returning to its nest.

"Master, I miss you so much!" Seeing Master, Yun Rui's admiration was overwhelming, and he couldn't help rubbing vigorously on the lapel of the woman in green shirt.

The woman in the green shirt revisited her old place, and seeing the young green buds of that year have now grown into towering trees, she was deeply moved, but she was suddenly disturbed by this little child, and the cold breath in her whole body could not help but be tinged with warmth.

Yun Rui knew that Master was reticent, so it didn't matter, if it wasn't for me, I would be the mountain, so she asked again: "Does Master miss me?"

Without waiting for the woman in the blue shirt to answer, Yun Rui answered on his own: "I miss Master so much! Why is Master here? Is it Father...Did Master Yun tell you? How is he recently? How is Sister?" good?"

Facing the chatty little apprentice, the woman in blue was quite helpless. Although she was cold-tempered, she also knew that this little apprentice was purely childish.

Hearing her twittering like a little bird, the woman in green shirt rubbed her head and stopped her words: "Rui'er is like this, does he look like an emperor?"

Yun Rui froze: "Did Master Yun tell Master?"

The woman in the green shirt said calmly: "I know about Rui'er, but Master Yun didn't tell me about it."

Yun Rui asked curiously, "Then how did you know?"

As he said that, he laughed first: "Did Master figure it out by pinching his fingers?"

The woman in the green shirt pretended to be somber, and lightly stroked the back of Yun Rui's head: "You're talking! Master is not a Feng Shui master who sets up a stall to tell fortunes!"

Yun Rui giggled.

"It's your imperial brother," the woman in blue looked at Yun Rui's small face, and suddenly thought of the man lying in the hidden room, her tone couldn't help but darken, "It's him, I taught you back then. "

"Brother Huang?" Yun Rui's eyes widened, "Brother Huang... three years ago..."

"That's right," the green-clothed woman nodded, "Your elder brother has long wanted to pass on to you, but he was afraid that you would not be able to bear the weight of such a weak body, so he begged me to teach you martial arts."

Yun Rui was stunned: "Then brother and master..."

"Your imperial brother is also my apprentice."

"I see." Yun Rui understood.

No wonder!

Three years ago, when I was only five years old, I met Master by chance.At that time, after the master showed his unique skills to save himself from a dangerous situation, he asked himself lightly: "Would you like to learn?"

The young Yunrui was so envious of the girl in Tsing Yi's skill, when she heard her say that, she immediately thought of what she had read in the legend of the book, didn't masters and heroes all worship famous teachers like this?Fearing that she would miss this great opportunity, she immediately knelt down on her knees, bowed her head, and said: "Master, please accept my disciple's bow!"

Now that I think about it, what kind of master is the master, if there is no reason, how can he teach an ignorant child the art of being close to the body?

After thinking about this, Yun Rui seemed to have a feeling of closeness to her deceased imperial brother.

"Rui'er, do you know why I called you here today?"

Yun Rui shook his head.At first, she thought that the master came to see her in the palace.But at this moment, he faintly sensed that Master's move must have deep meaning.

The green-clothed woman stared at her little face, lost her mind for a moment, did not speak, but turned her body with her back to Yun Rui, and after a while, said: "Does Ruier know what kind of road I am going to take?"

what way?

Yun Rui was puzzled.

The woman in the green shirt leaned over slightly, brushing the trunk of a thick and tall tree with her white fingers——

There, at a place about the same height as Yun Rui, there are several traces arranged irregularly, two or two times wide, or three minutes wide. I deeply remember the joy when my body jointed and grew taller.

Yun Rui looked at the back of the woman in blue in confusion, not knowing why the master suddenly became silent.She sensed a strange aura from Master, so she didn't dare to disturb him.

"Rui'er, that is the road of an emperor," the woman in the green shirt seemed to have made great determination, and suddenly said, "If you go on this road, you may regret it; but if you don't, you may regret it." ...I regret it even more..."

As she spoke, she turned around abruptly, her eyes brightened, and she said solemnly: "You, have you thought about it?"

Yun Rui was startled.She had never seen such a master with such a fierce spirit.In my impression, Master is always indifferent and cold, as if she doesn't care about everything in this world.

But now...

Under the pressure from that aura, Yun Rui swallowed hard, and said in a low voice, "I... my previous ambition was to be like... like my master, to roam freely in the rivers and lakes..."

The woman in the blue shirt nodded and waited patiently for her next words.

"But... my sister-in-law said that there is no such thing as pure carefreeness in the world. My disciple thought, if this is the case, wouldn't the world be living too hard? My disciple is not reconciled."

The woman in blue was slightly moved when she heard the words.

Yun Rui continued: "Yesterday in Fengxian Hall, I saw the portrait of Gao Zu... Well, I think Gao Zu is so good... so heroic... I am so envious and admired...Tu'er is confused Yes, I want to be Gaozu, but it seems that I can't be a hero if I am Gaozu, I am very contradictory..."

The woman in the blue shirt couldn't help raising her eyebrows when she heard that she wanted to "be a great ancestor".

"Later, Master Duan came, and he said that a person should have his own way to live in the world. After thinking about it, I don't know where my way is and why I stick to it! The more I think about it, the more I feel guilty. Tu'er thought again, although this palace is still very strange, but there is a sister-in-law, um, and the queen mother, they all need Tu'er to protect them. Therefore, Tu'er wants to grow up here quickly, and more I want to quickly know where and what my persistence is!"

The woman in the blue shirt was shocked, "Rui'er, you are more promising than a teacher!"

"Ah?" Yun Rui was stunned.

Before the words "How can I be more promising than Master" flashed in her mind, the woman in the green shirt suddenly shouted: "Yu Wenrui! Kneel down and be obedient!"

Yu Wenrui?

Yun Rui looked around subconsciously before realizing: Isn't Yu Wenrui himself?

Why did Master suddenly call himself Yu Wenrui?

She couldn't figure it out for a while.But since the master asked her to kneel down, she naturally has her reasons, so just obey her orders.

Yun Rui knelt down in front of the green-clothed woman with a "plop".

The woman in the green shirt stared at the hair on her head, and said solemnly: "I taught you martial arts three years ago, but you are not my disciple. From today onwards, Yu Wenrui, you are the fourth generation disciple of my Taoist sect. As a teacher I don’t ask you to expand your family and become famous in the world with martial arts, but I ask you to take the road of emperor with a heart that yearns for martial arts. The study of martial arts emphasizes respecting the world and following nature; If you have an enterprising heart, don't be self-willed and think that you are invincible! You, do you remember?"

Hearing these words, Yu Wenrui was dumbfounded——

It turns out that until now, she was not considered a real disciple of the master?Xuanmen disciple!

Yu Wenrui's chest was agitated, and he couldn't help feeling proud.

The master wants to respect the way of martial arts, follow the way of kings, imitate nature, and respect the heaven, earth and the people. Yu Wenrui suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier than Mount Tai, but he was very happy.

"Master, am I really...really a Taoist disciple?"

"That's right! You are my second disciple, maybe... also a closed disciple. You have a senior sister who is now leading the Taoist sect on my behalf."

"Senior Sister... what about Brother Huang?"

The woman in the green shirt bowed her head and swept her: "Your brother is not my apprentice. I taught him martial arts, it's just...fate..."

"Is it because Brother Huang is the Son of Heaven?" Yu Wenrui had too many doubts in his mind.

"Yes, and no."

Yu Wenrui didn't understand anymore.

"Rui'er, from today on, every fifth and tenth day of every month, you come here alone at Yinshi every day, and I want to teach you as a teacher."

Yinshi?So early!

Yu Wenrui couldn't help but frowned.However, Master instructed, and was attracted by "Xuanmen Kungfu", she thought about it immediately: Do whatever Master wants!

only--

"What if sister-in-law asks?"

"Your sister-in-law knows about this, so don't hide it from her."

Yun Rui understood in an instant, it wasn't that he had lost A-sao to sleep, it turned out that A-sao had gone to discuss this important matter with Master.

"The place Master chose is really good, it's secluded and spacious."

The green-clothed woman smiled slightly, thinking that this place was set up for her own practice back then, so why not?

"It's just a little far away from Kuntai Palace..." Yu Wenrui muttered in a low voice, and had to run for half an hour.

How could the woman in green gown not hear it?He sneered secretly: This place is farther away from Donghua Hall. When I was a teacher, I still came here to practice at Yin time every day!

Thinking of her youth, she couldn't help feeling dazed.

Yu Wenrui slapped his forehead and remembered the most important thing.

"Master, I don't know your old man's name yet!"

The woman in the green shirt paused, and said calmly: "Is the name important?"

"Of course!" Yu Wenrui said earnestly with his face up, "In the future, my apprentice will become famous. If someone asks me who I studied under, I will naturally give the name of master to honor my master!"

The woman in the green shirt smiled slightly.She doesn't care about these false names, but she is somewhat relieved that this child is dedicated to learning.

After pondering for a while, the woman in blue said softly: "My surname is Yan, Yan Wunian."
