who knows

The light incense, mixed with the slightly bitter herbal smell, permeated the room. It wasn't an unpleasant smell, but Zhong Liqing was not used to it, so she woke up earlier than the master expected. .

Zhong Liqing opened her eyes, and looked around her calmly—the clean and fragrant bed, the faint candlelight in the corner, and the bright moonlight peeking in from the window, and a ray of flowers carrying lotus flowers penetrated through the slightly open window. In the fragrant night wind, the crisp chirping of insects and the patter of gentle water waves can still be faintly heard.

In such a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere, Zhong Liqing's vigilance did not dare to relax in the slightest.

The spiritual power has circulated in the body for a short period of time, except that the chest is still a little tight, but there is no serious problem. He has never sealed the spiritual power for others, and has never bound his hands and feet. Presumably he was rescued by someone, not caught by someone ... After rubbing the storage ring between her fingers a few times, Zhong Liqing felt sure.

In the beast-controlling bag, Jiuying is still asleep, and I'm afraid he won't be able to wake up for a while. The barriers of this fairyland are more difficult to deal with than the lower realms. With a sigh, leave enough spirit stones and blood, and Zhongliqing will Let Jiuying recover by himself.

Zhong Liqing is not sure if the master here has other plans for her, but this person's temperament and taste can be seen from the details, and it seems that he will not be too carefree.

Sitting up, he looked down at himself—the dirty outer robe has been replaced, but the close-fitting clothes have not been touched. There is a set of clean clothes on the round stool at the corner of the bed, which shows that the owner of the room thoughtful.

Invisibly, Zhong Liqing's evaluation of this person was three points higher.

After changing into comfortable clothes and taking care of herself, Zhong Liqing pushed the door and walked out without detecting the existence of other people in her consciousness, as if she was the only one in this huge courtyard.

Outside the wing room where she lives, there is a long log corridor, on the top of the corridor there are all kinds of star butterflies hanging upside down, reflecting the moonlight and reflecting a soft blue light; and outside the wooden corridor is a small lake , hidden behind layers of strange stone rockery, you can feel the refreshing coolness brought by the water vapor across several feet.

Looking up at the moonlight, Zhong Liqing suddenly became interested and walked towards the lake.

Passing through the promenade, there is an octagonal gazebo in the middle of the lake, with gauze curtains hanging on all sides, and there are many shadows inside, but it seems that a person's figure is reflected.

Zhong Liqing paused and was hesitating, but the person in the pavilion opened his mouth first, his voice was as clear as a stream, gentle and pleasant, and even softer than the moonlight: "Since the girl is awake, Why don't you come and sit in this pavilion together, the moonlight is just right tonight, you can't let it down."

"A beautiful woman invites you, how dare you refuse?" Zhong Liqing smiled, saluted modestly on the spot, suppressed the surprise in her eyes, and walked slowly into the lake pavilion following her intention.

——Before the woman opened her mouth, she didn't notice the other party's breath at all.

Even if the other party showed his presence actively, Zhong Liqing still couldn't perceive it. Even if he could see the outline of this person's figure in his eyes, his spiritual consciousness was still empty and it was difficult to detect it.

If it wasn't for her spiritual sense being seriously injured and losing her ability to perceive, it was because this woman's cultivation base was unfathomable, and she had reached the point of returning to the original, and even Zhong Liqing's keen spiritual sense could not see through it—comparison , Zhong Liqing is more inclined to the latter.

Pulling back the gauze curtain that swayed gently in the wind, revealing a touch of moon-white skirt, it was exactly the scene she saw before she fell into a coma. It was conceivable that this was the benefactor who rescued her.

Looking up, Zhong Liqing couldn't help but secretly praised the woman when she saw the woman's true face—what a beautiful lady!

This girl is naturally extremely beautiful, but when others see her for the first time, they are not amazed by her beauty, but are impressed by her temperament - like bamboo like orchid, like cutting like grinding, there is a certain clarity Jun Wenya's bookish atmosphere.

She was wearing a moon white skirt, her skin was as white as pearls, and under the brilliance of the moon, she was even more radiant. She was holding a roll of bamboo slips in her slender hands, and there was nothing else.

Zhong Liqing saw that she was clean and elegant with no decorations on her body, and she unexpectedly thought of that whiteness that was also spotless - this girl did not love pearls, jade, hairpins and daisies like her family's concubines, but she did not show her beauty. Insipid, in contrast to the outstanding temperament.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a good impression again, and the smile on her lips became a little more real... However, this doesn't mean that she has let go of her guard.

"Nanzhao Zhongliqing, thank you for your kindness, Miss." Standing three feet away from the woman, Zhongliqing saluted again, and then sat on the other side of the gazebo, facing her, respectful but with With a touch of alienation.

The woman didn't care about Zhong Liqing's deliberate indifference. She nodded and smiled, which was regarded as her gratitude. Her beautiful eyes gently brushed her body, and she said softly: "I will see you when I bring you back to the other courtyard that day." It's just that your internal organs were shaken and exhausted, so I didn't touch you, I just let you rest on your own, I thought it would take you two days to wake up, so I dispatched my servants, unexpectedly, you woke up tonight."

She explained a few words slowly, but she didn't ask any questions. Instead, she cared about Zhong Liqing's injury: "How do you feel now? But is there any discomfort?"

Unable to figure out her way, Zhong Liqing pretended not to know, and dealt with her: "Thank you for your concern, Miss, I'm much better now."

"That's good." After finishing speaking, the woman lowered her head and continued to look at the letter in her hand, occasionally raised her head to look at the moonlight in the sky, tapped her left hand repeatedly, as if she was calculating something.

Zhong Liqing didn't intend to disturb her either, she just sat comfortably and closed her eyes slightly, feeling the gentle breeze blowing on her face, bringing the fragrance of lotus by the lake, thinking calmly, feeling relaxed and happy, actually harmonious to a certain detached artistic conception middle.

With a thought, Zhong Liqing opened his eyes to look at the sky outside the gazebo again, only to see that beyond the high-hanging ice wheel in the sky, the surroundings were densely covered with stars, and the converging light, although it could not compete with the bright moon, was also interesting, flickering light and dark In her eyes, according to the unique law, it turned into star charts.

With random movements of the hand, a wisp of spiritual energy condensed from the fingertips, and a series of imitations of stars were traced in the void. Zhong Liqing gradually drew a huge star network in her mind, and that star network fit her own acupuncture sheath. Unknowingly, there is spiritual power circulating in the meridian acupoint sheath, and the two correspond to each other, which is infinitely mysterious.

Just when Zhong Liqing felt that she was about to touch that trace of bottleneck barrier, the ring between her fingers suddenly became hot, which made her wake up from that mysterious haze all at once, and before her eyes was a light spot of spiritual power that gradually dissipated. Zhong Liqing smiled helplessly, but she didn't take it too seriously - the knowledge of astrology is already profound and difficult, and she only had a half-knowledge of it, and the state of epiphany just now was a pleasant surprise, but she didn't expect to reach the sky in one step and achieve astrology avenue.

Her state of mind has improved, the flow of spiritual power in the sheath is more free, the speed and capacity of absorbing spiritual power have increased a lot compared to before, the cultivation state is fast, and she has vaguely touched a trace of the mystery of Mahayana... The harvest is not too big, she is already content.

When Zhong Liqing was going to continue to meditate and feel the fusion, she saw that the girl who had been concentrating on reading the bamboo slips and calculating and rehearsing was looking at her intently, her eyes as soft as spring water were full of surprise, and even more so. A bit of imperceptible interest.

"But did I disturb the girl? I'm sorry, I'm leaving now..." After thinking about it, Zhong Liqing decided to leave here first, and it would be safer to set up a barrier in the house.

Just about to get up, the woman said hurriedly: "Wait a minute, may I ask?"

"Girl, please tell me." Zhong Liqing nodded and looked at her seriously, but calmly restrained the spiritual power circulating in the sheath.

"The star map you drew just now is very novel, but I have never seen it before. After careful consideration, it is inextricably linked with Tiangong's creation... I would like to ask Miss Zhongli, what is the explanation for that star map? But you made it yourself?" The woman pushed the bamboo slip in her hand aside to free up space on the stone table, then lightly swiped her fingertips, and her spiritual power carved out a detailed star map, which was exactly the same as the arrangement in the sky.

Glancing at the sky, and then looking down at the star map drawn by the woman in real time, Zhong Liqing pondered for a while, and explained to her: "I'm not very educated, and I don't know much about astrology, but I only heard a few words when I was young. Wrong, I hope the girl will not blame her."

"So I asked for advice, and Miss Zhongli was willing to explain my doubts to me. I was too happy, so how could I blame you? The girl is worrying too much, but she said it's okay." The woman couldn't help but clicked on the star map that quietly changed with the stars in the sky, He looked at Zhong Liqing with burning eyes, waiting for her answer.

"In the west of my hometown, there is a saying that divides the Tianhe River into three walls, and with the North Pole as the center, it is divided into two domains, the East and the West. Together, there are 37 constellations. Hound, shepherd..." Zhong Liqing recalled the astrology knowledge she had learned on Water Blue Planet, and slowly introduced it to her.

"Under Zhonggong Ziwei, south of the Big Dipper, what's the explanation for the star map there?" The woman listened with great interest, accepted the setting structure Zhong Liqing said without hindrance, and immediately put forward her own question.

On the other hand, Zhong Liqing had to think carefully for a while before answering: "This place takes the five emperors as the center, and contains a total of twenty constellations, with 78 positive stars and a hundred additional stars, which are called virgins, late hair..."

"The technique of divination is not only hexagram images, but also facial images, palmistry, and astrology. Everything can be predicted, and everything can be observed; but what I inherit is the way of stars-I'm ashamed to say, I will save you, but It’s not that you are nosy and merciful, but that your fate and astrology are so weird that I can’t see through them at a glance. After I brought you back, I have divination for you many times, but I still can’t understand it—— In the whole world, I can't claim the fate of the person, you are the second." When it comes to rising, Zhong Liqing is no longer the only one who speaks alone, the woman has gradually become interested in talking, and after hearing Zhong Liqing After Qing introduced the twelve constellations and astrological fortune jokingly, she said suddenly.

"...My fate?" Zhong Liqing asked with a smile, suppressing the doubts and worries in her heart.

"That's right. I can only calculate your recent fortune and even the fortunes of those close to you, but your fate seems to be shrouded in mist. No matter how I calculate it, I can't figure it out." The woman looked at Zhong Liqing He hesitated to speak, as if he wanted to ask something, but in the end he just smiled lightly and shook his head, "Well, I'm just in a daze, why bother to be obsessed with these things? It's getting late, Miss Zhongli, let's go to rest earlier."

"Alright," Zhong Liqing stood up politely and bowed to her. Before turning around, she looked back at her as if thinking of something. It’s really rude to taboo your name.”

"My surname is Cen, Xing Yi. You can call me Cen Yi." Hearing this, the woman just smiled, a genuine and gentle smile, and a small dimple appeared on her right cheek.

——Why does this name sound familiar?

Zhong Liqing wanted to ask again, but the woman who called herself Cen Yi had already got up and passed her, and Shi Shi ran towards the other side of the pavilion.

That graceful and graceful back, gradually drifting away, with skirts dragging to the ground, reveals a pair of delicate and charming bare feet, with a string of silver-white chains tied around the ankles, reflecting the light of the stars and the moon while walking, shining brightly, truly nice.

Zhong Liqing stared intently, suddenly blessed to the heart - Cen Yi, Cen Yi!

She remembered that the author of the "Story and Monsters" left by A Niang was Cen Yi.

Could it be...

Zhong Liqing opened her mouth, and the moon white skirt had completely disappeared into the night.

With countless questions, I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep all night, and I barely took a rest until the middle of the night.

On the second day, Zhong Liqing woke up early, washed and dressed, and thought of going to Cen Yi to ask for clarification.

After pushing open the door, he was startled by the maids waiting in formation on both sides—looking at the battle, he thought he was about to welcome some distinguished guests.

Zhong Liqing was about to ask about Cen Yi's whereabouts, when the maid who was closest to her bowed her knees and said respectfully: "Miss Zhongli, the master has a guest to welcome today, and he can't get away, so I ordered a maid to wait for you here. At your command, please forgive me, girl."

"It's okay, since the master has orders, I should obey them, but I don't know when the master will be able to see me? I want to ask her to divination for me." Zhong Liqing knew that he would not see Cen Yi for a while. , had no choice but to ask second best.

"The master told the servant girl that if Miss Zhongli wants to ask for a divination, she must bathe and burn incense, and meditate for three hours before she can divination for you. The girl will follow the servant girl to the bathroom in the backyard to make some preparations—I want to come after your meditation is over. , the master will come to see you." The maid gestured to the people behind her, and the two rows of girls were divided into two groups, one in front and one in back, surrounding Zhong Liqing in the middle.

"Alright, thank you, sister." Seeing the posture of these maids, Zhong Liqing could only nod her head, agree to come down, followed behind them, walked around for a long time, and finally arrived at the so-called bathing house.

Looking at the huge soup pool with curling steam escaping from it, Zhong Liqing couldn't help but think of the cloud pool in the thousand-world boat, and the lively and fragrant beauty in the cloud pool.

Now there is another fragrant pool of jade dew, surrounded by fragrant mist, but the sultry white is missing... What a pity, what a sense of loss.

After all the maids retreated sensibly, Zhong Liqing took off her clothes slowly, sighed lowly, and let herself feel helpless and vulnerable with longing.

The author has something to say: I can't help but play Natsume Soseki again 2333
