Chang Dizhihua

Chapter 4, Tage Walk

The elder Zhongguang came quickly like a thunderbolt, and after a reprimand, he floated away again. When his figure disappeared from the sword dance floor, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.Yuan Guang got up from the ground, grinning, his smile was uglier than crying: "Uncle Xuanxiao, Uncle Tianqing, I'm really sorry..."

"What is this? It's none of your business." Yun Tianqing waved his hand casually, as if he hadn't recovered from the shock, and asked blankly, "Who is that Elder Zhongguang? Still arrogant? Even dare to call Master Taiqing by his name."

Yuan Yidao: "The two uncles just started, I'm afraid they don't know that besides the head of the sect, there are five other elders in the sect, Chong Guang is the longest-ranking elder of Zhengfa, who is in charge of the rules and regulations of the sect, and he couldn't be more strict. "

Yun Tianqing rubbed his chin: "How old is he? With such a young face and white hair, he must have cultivated into a fairy body, right?"

"I don't know about that." Yuan Yi smiled wryly, "Uncle Shi is so interested in inquiring about other people's affairs, why not care about yourself first."

Yun Tianqing looked puzzled: "Huh?"

"Thinking back to the valley, thinking back to the valley." Yuan Guang reminded in a low voice.

Xuan Xiao asked from the side: "Just now the elder asked us to go to the valley to think about our mistakes. I don't know where it is?"

Yuan Yi explained: "Any disciple who violates the rules of the sect will be punished to go to the Valley of Reflection. Except that no meals will be provided during the period of reflection, and that they must not leave without permission, there is nothing else."

Yun Tianqing and Xuan Xiao looked at each other, as if they felt that this level of punishment was nothing, after a while, Yun Tianqing suddenly came back to his senses, hugged his head and wailed: "I haven't eaten all day today!! !"

Xuan Xiao glared at him fiercely: "Shut up!"

***

You don't have to eat, but you have to think about your mistakes. When you enter Qionghua's sect, you have to abide by all kinds of rules.It was afternoon at this time, and the bright sunshine slanted into Sihui Valley, warming people's bodies. There was a tiled blue sky above their heads, surrounded by white birches and pines, and the thin snow melted into a clear and shallow stream, flowing along the rocks under their feet. The beach winds and flows, even if you search all over the Kunlun Mountains, you can't find a more beautiful place than this, but it was used by the Qionghua Sect as a place for thinking and punishing, which is really wasteful and pitiful.

Yun Tianqing leaned against a boulder like soft mud, rubbed her stomach, and sighed: "Brother Du, Brother Du, I, Uncle Yun, have never treated you badly since I was born. I'm sorry today."

Xuan Xiao sat cross-legged on the ground, and glanced at him, "You know you're sorry for it?"

Yun Tianqing propped his cheek with one hand: "Why should I be sorry for others? You are my brother, you have the same blessings and share the same hardships, eat together, worship the master together, and punish you if you make mistakes. What did you do wrong next time?" , I will accompany you too."

Xuan Xiao couldn't help but support his forehead, thinking that this person was really unreasonable.

Yun Tianqing chuckled, and raised his chin: "Look at the gatekeeper in front, he looks like a white radish. Even if we walk past them, I'm afraid he won't notice."

As soon as the words fell, Xuan Tai who was standing at the mouth of the valley immediately turned around and stared at him, his face was already very similar to a coffin board, but at this time it looked very much like a coffin board.

Yun Tianqing leaned close to Xuan Xiao's ear and whispered: "Do you want to sneak out to find something to eat?"

Xuan Xiao was stunned: "What?"

Yun Tianqing patted him on the shoulder, laughed loudly, walked up to Xuantai, and saluted: "Senior Brother Xuantai is good."

Xuan Tai squinted at him: "You didn't think about it in the valley, what are you doing here?"

Yun Tianqing said: "Senior brother showed a trick in front of the mountain gate last night, which made me very fascinated. From now on, we will be in the same sect. Please give me some advice."

Xuan Tai snorted, thinking that this kid is not very annoying. He was punished on the first day of entry and thought about it, so he restrained a lot, so he nodded slightly: "That's natural."

Yun Tianqing said again: "However, brother's swordsmanship is good, but his lightness kungfu is far behind. If there is no quick and quick movement in our martial arts, no matter how good the moves are, it will be of little use."

In fact, Xuantai is the apprentice of Suwu Elder Xin and Daoist Priest. His kung fu is not weak at all, but he is the most conceited and unmotivated. Hearing Yun Tianqing's words, he couldn't help being furious: "Fart! You just You have only been taught by the head of Taiqing for half a day, and you are making irresponsible remarks in front of me, you are really extremely arrogant!"

Yun Tianqing smiled: "Senior brother, don't get angry, you can tell if your kung fu is good or bad. Last night, I had the opportunity to learn martial arts with my senior brother, but I was blocked by Senior Brother Xuan Zhen. Today is just the time to compare."

Xuan Tai laughed back angrily: "It seems that you are not here to ask for martial arts, but to seek revenge? Alright, I will catch you, little devil first, and punish you for the head!" After finishing speaking, he did not draw his sword , reached out and grabbed Yun Tianqing's arm.Yun Tianqing sneered, and moved aside lightly, Xuantai stepped up and was about to catch up, but received a heavy blow on the back of the head, his eyes went dark, and he fell forward.

Yun Tianqing almost laughed heartbroken to himself, but pretended to be surprised and shouted: "Senior Brother Xuantai, what's wrong with you?!...Senior Brother Xuanxiao, what did you do to Brother Xuantai?"

Xuan Xiao put Xuan Tai's tall body on the ground, turned around and kicked Yun Tianqing: "Stop talking!"

Yun Tianqing put on a straight face: "Xuan Xiao! If you hurt your fellow disciple, you will be punished even more!"

Xuan Xiao gave him a cold smile: "As you said, there are blessings and hardships, and if I am punished, you can accompany me."

Yun Tianqing couldn't help laughing, but Xuan Xiao pushed him: "Whatever you want to do, get out of here and do it, this person's skill is not low, at most he will wake up after a stick of incense."

Yun Tianqing wondered: "You...won't you go together?"

Xuan Xiao said seriously: "Thinking about mistakes is thinking about mistakes, and the rules of the house cannot be broken. I will wait for you to come back."

Yun Tianqing was stunned, he had originally planned not to come back after leaving the Valley of Thoughts this time, as for the rules and regulations, he didn't care much, but after hearing what Xuan Xiao said, he hesitated for a moment with his head lowered, then he raised his head and smiled: "Okay, wait for me, I'll bring you something to eat." After finishing speaking, when he was about to leave the valley, he heard someone shouting from afar on the mountain road not far away:

"Junior Brother Xuantai, Xin and Master Uncle told you to go see him and ask me to replace you."

Yun Tianqing grumbled inwardly, and was about to leave quickly when the two figures turned around from the mountain road, and saw Xuantai lying limp on the ground from a distance, and rushed towards him.The first person asked, "What happened?"

Yun Tianqing was helpless, but his thoughts turned quickly, and he replied casually: "You two senior brothers, we both thought about it in the valley. Seeing that senior brother Xuantai was too tired, I asked him to rest for a while, but I didn't expect him to sleep so dead It’s not all deceitful what he said, but it’s not clear what his intentions are for letting Xuantai fall asleep.

Those two people were dubious, one of them took out a bright yellow bell ringing talisman from his bosom, stretched out his finger and flicked it, the talisman emitted a white light, covering the top of Xuantai's head, Xuantai immediately woke up, opened his eyes and saw Yun Tianqing standing beside him , jumped up, and stretched out his palm to hit him: "Little bastard, you don't want to run away again!" Yun Tianqing giggled and moved away, hiding behind Xuan Xiao.

The man holding the spell said strangely: "Junior Brother Xuantai, what are you doing?"

Seeing the two of them sideways, Xuantai felt terrified, stopped and walked to salute: "Senior Brother Xuanyi, Senior Brother Xuanzhen."

Seeing Xuantai sleeping on the ground regardless of his care, Xuan Yi felt displeased when he woke up and lost his composure, and frowned, "Xuantai, how can guarding be a joke?"

Xuan Tai said angrily: "It's clearly these two little bastards... This kid is too deceitful! He—" Speaking of this, he suddenly thought that he was actually being teased by a young man who had just started, and he would lose face when he said it. Shengsheng changed his words, but his face turned purple with anger: "Yes, brother taught you well."

Xuanzhen looked at Yun Tianqing and Xuan Xiao, knowing that there must be something inside, so he didn't say much at the moment, he just ordered lightly: "Xuantai, Xin and Master Uncle call you to go, and the guards here will be guarded by the two of us." Alright."

Xuan Tai bowed his head and said yes, and said: "Senior brothers, these two newcomers are very cunning, please don't let them lead you."

Xuan Zhen nodded: "I care about myself."

When Xuantai left, Xuanyi and Xuanzhen guarded Sihui Taniguchi, no matter what Yun Tianqing thought, they just treated them like rocks and trees and ignored them.In the end, Yun Tianqing collapsed on the ground, looked at the white clouds floating slowly in the blue sky above his head, and sighed: "It's hopeless, Senior Brother Xuantai always loves to get angry, but it's much easier to deceive than these two pieces of wood..."

And Xuan Xiao has never had the idea of ​​fleeing privately since he entered the Valley of Thoughts. No matter who guards him, it doesn't make any difference to him. He sits cross-legged and closes his eyes to meditate on the heart that Master passed on in the morning. Law.After a week of luck, the sun had already slanted to the west, and the rays of the sun coated the entire valley with a strange color that was neither gold nor red. I was having a good dream, the surroundings were quiet, and occasionally there were two chirping of goshawks piercing the sky.

Xuan Xiao thought to himself that this kid was extraordinarily quiet when he fell asleep, and he couldn't see the appearance of flying away at all. Being with this kind of people, even he himself became different from his usual self.In the past when he was in Penglai, the disciple who respected his master and respected his etiquette was definitely him, Xuan Xiao. Things like messing around in front of the master, thinking about returning to the valley, and knocking out fellow brothers, I never thought about it before, but Now that he did it naturally, he felt a little apprehensive, but deep in his heart he vaguely felt that there was nothing wrong with it, on the contrary, it was very interesting.

He was thinking wildly like this, and fell asleep in a daze. I don't know how long it took, but he felt itchy nose, couldn't help but sneezed several times in succession, and heard a burst of laughter in his ears. He opened his eyes, only Seeing that the setting sun was setting and the surroundings had already darkened, Yun Tianqing lay down in front of him, holding a piece of fluffy grass in his hand, dangling it on his face, showing a rascal smile: "Senior Brother Xuan Xiao , slept soundly? Did you think about it in your dream?"

Xuan Xiao snatched the grass: "It seems that you are very happy in Sihui Valley, how about settling here in the future?" As he said, he rolled up the grass in his hands and put it on the ground.

Yun Tianqing chuckled, grabbed something from the ground, and thrust it into his collar: "This is for you to play with."

Xuan Xiao pulled it out and took a look, but saw that it was a rabbit made of fluffy grass, with two long ears and a fluffy body, which was extremely cute.He held it in his hand and was reluctant to let go, but said in his mouth: "You are really boring."

Yun Tianqing rolled on the ground and howled again: "I'm starving to death! I can't eat grass rabbits! Brother, aren't you hungry?"

Xuan Xiao replied: "When I retreated to Bigu before, it didn't matter if I didn't eat for ten days and half a month."

Yun Tianqing stared at him: "Ah, as expected, all cultivators are lunatics."

Xuan Xiao immediately stared back: "If you can't stand the hard work, just roll down the mountain!"

Yun Tianqing wondered what you were pretending to be, I don't know who was crying last night, it was both the master and the mother, and I wanted to coax you.A carp straightened up and sat up, but stopped talking.

Seeing him like this, Xuan Xiao felt a little strange, and couldn't help asking: "Why?"

Yun Tianqing raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Whether you can bear it or not, there is no basis for what you say, and you will have to compare and see who will complain first."

Xuan Xiao sneered and said, "Very good."

Although the two teenagers didn't say anything, they began to compete secretly.At this time, the sky is getting darker and darker, the night is slowly sinking, the sky is like a cover, and the stars are twinkling. Take a handful and cook soup to drink.When there was a thunderous sound in his belly, he was hit on the head by something hard, and Xuan Xiao's voice was heard in his ears: "Take it!"

Yun Tianqing picked it up, looked at the starlight, and saw it was a small bag of blue flowered coarse cloth, which looked quite familiar, but when he opened it, there were a few pieces of sesame candy inside, I wonder if he had been carrying it in his bosom for a long time , the sugar had been broken into small pieces, the surface was slightly melted, and it stuck to the burden in a mess.Yun Tianqing didn't care too much, cheered, picked up one and ate it, and mumbled in his mouth: "You're still hiding this, what a rescue—" Halfway through speaking, something suddenly came to mind, "Hey, this should It can't be the one I gave you in the morning, right? Why haven't you eaten it until now?"

Xuan Xiao was startled, and then replied lightly: "I... don't like sweets."

Yun Tianqing picked up a large piece of candy, and quickly stuffed it into Xuan Xiao's mouth: "Ahaha, then I will sweeten you to death!"

At that moment Xuan Xiao felt that getting to know Yun Tianqing was simply the biggest failure in his life.

***

No matter how difficult the days of thinking about returning to the valley are, they will eventually come to an end.The moon rises from the east to the middle sky, and then sets from the middle sky to the west. When Yun Tianqing met the braised hoof in his dream, he heard someone whispering in his ear: "You two, the fifth watch is here. , you can leave now."

Opening his eyes, he saw Xuan Zhen standing beside him, and Yun Tianqing almost burst into tears: "Brother!" Xuan Xiao also stood up beside him and saluted.

Suddenly, a crisp voice sounded from behind Xuan Zhen: "I still said who was so powerful, and was punished to go to Sihui Valley on the first day of entry. It turned out that it was you, a smiling little bastard, and you, who is like a piece of wood. guy."

Xuan Zhen frowned and turned his head, but he couldn't hide a smile in his voice: "Su Xin, don't be so indifferent, come here and salute your senior brothers Xuan Xiao and Yun."

Su Xin curled her lips, walked in front of the two of them, glared at Yun Tianqing, but nodded to Xuan Xiao politely, and asked softly, "Are you feeling better?"

Xuan Xiao was taken aback for a moment, all he suffered was trauma, after being properly treated by Xuan Ji yesterday, the scars had already formed, and he didn't feel much pain, Su Xin mentioned it at this time, and then he remembered, and replied: "There is no more serious pain." hinder."

Su Xin smiled: "Okay, since it's all right, both of you come to morning class quickly."

For a moment, Yun Tianqing only felt that the land was falling apart and his life was over: "I, I haven't slept enough..."

"Who cares if you sleep or not." Su Xin gave him a sideways glance, then turned around and led the way with Xuan Zhen.

Yun Tianqing, as if being tortured, followed them to Jianwuping with a sad face.It just so happened that Elder Chongguang was giving morning class that day, seeing his sleepy look, he got so angry that he asked Xuanfou who was standing beside him to bring a bucket of ice water and pour it on his head.Xuan Fou happily ordered to leave, his shiny face like a frozen eggplant suddenly turned into a fresh purple eggplant just plucked from the tree.

Practicing on the mountain is bitter and lonely, but since the arrival of Yun Tianqing, the faction has become lively. Within a few days, this person has become familiar with the members of the faction, and he spends his days playing harmless tricks on everyone. pleasure.This kid doesn't like to practice fairy arts and martial arts, but he went to the Cangjing Pavilion to pick up hidden weapons and medical mechanisms to learn, and sneaked into Xuanji's room to mix herbs, and only picked those honest brothers and sisters to test the medicines.

One day, Xuan Yi, whose face was blue from diarrhea, came to Xuan Ji's room and begged him to lock the door of the elixir room, but Xuan Ji just smiled coolly: "It's because you are incompetent. Blame my pharmacy?" Turning back to the house, he said to Yun Tianqing, who was almost heartbroken from laughing at the cat in his own room, "It's not for you to spoil my herbal medicine with these things that can't be poisoned to death or cured."

After hearing this, Yun Tianqing learned from the pain and stayed in the pharmacy for a few days.One day after that, Suyao went down the mountain to eliminate the demon, but was slapped by the monster and suffered internal injuries.Yun Tianqing mysteriously handed her a bottle of potion, saying that after drinking it, the medicine would heal her wounds, which was true, but the beauty Suyao didn't see anyone for a whole day after drinking the medicine, and Su Xin, who was in the same room, said it was true. Because a rash suddenly appeared on his face.

Being punished to return to the Valley of Thoughts has long been a common occurrence for Yun Tianqing. Every time Yuan Yi stares at the empty bed, he can't help but sigh: "Oh! Uncle Tianqing didn't come back today."

Xuan Xiao also shook his head in regret, but thought in his heart, it's very good, no one will grab the quilt with me tonight.

While Yun Tianqing was playing so carelessly, Xuan Xiao's kung fu became more and more refined as he practiced. After one month, the head of the Taiqing sect summoned the new disciples to compete in martial arts in front of the Taiyi Palace.Yun Tianqing is lazy by nature, but relying on his talent, intelligence and agility, he managed to win every game by a narrow margin. Xuan Xiao even overwhelmed the audience with his internal skills of stepping on the water with one hand without making any ripples.Fighting all the way to the end, Yun Tianqing was already so tired that his back was sore and his legs ached. Seeing Xuan Xiao slowly walk in front of him and make a gesture, his face suddenly wrinkled like a bitter melon. After a few moves, Xuan Xiao kicked him down the stage.

From then on, Xuan Xiao and Yun Tianqing stood out among the disciples.Master Taiqing twisted his three long beards and pondered for a while, and finally said: "These two children's talents are really different from ordinary people. It would be a pity if they were taught in ordinary ways." Then he ordered the two to go to the Taiyi Palace at the beginning of each month. Come, let him guide you personally.

Xuan Xiao knew that his master had a good eye for him, and he dared not relax. From that day on, he finally gave up the sword technique of the Penglai School and began to concentrate on sword learning.However, one day Yun Tianqing woke up in the middle of the night and found that the bed next to him was empty, went out to the back of the house, and saw Xuan Xiao standing blankly under the moon, holding the long knife in his hand.

Yun Tianqing asked: "You are unhappy, why do you want to practice swords again? Although the Qionghua School is the best in the world with swordsmanship, they don't have to use swords."

Xuan Xiao turned around, it has been several months since Yun Tianqing saw him for the first time, the young man has grown up fast, his stature is much taller than before, and he looks taller and taller, with a childish face He also backed off a little, and only heard him slowly say: "If I can't learn the most exquisite kung fu, what's the point of me coming to worship a teacher and cultivate immortals? Life is only a hundred years old, how can you let yourself do everything, and it's nothing to be unhappy."

Yun Tianqing looked at him and smiled, at that moment there were countless stars in the sky, the moon was bright and the wind was clear, Xuan Xiao was still the same Xuan Xiao, but the boy who cried at night a few months ago now only exists in each other's memory.

***

There is no time in the valley of thinking, and half a year passes away in a hurry.

In the twinkling of an eye, it was the twelfth lunar month, and it was snowing early in the morning, and the cold air was blowing outside the house, and the dripping water turned into ice. As usual, Xuan Xiao got up before five o'clock.Yun Tianqing woke up from the cold, and immediately shouted: "Brother Xuan Xiao, you still want to let people live--" Yuan Guang and Yuan Yi who were sleeping beside him also howled.

Xuan Xiao didn't care what he was yelling about, and just asked indifferently: "Which do you like better, Dong Yichen or being punished by Master Taiqing to practice kung fu?"

It was only then that Yun Tianqing remembered that the head teacher was teaching the class in person again today, so it's fine if he didn't go to the morning class on weekdays, if he was absent today, wouldn't he be read to death by that old man?Immediately jumped up, the movement was faster than a rabbit hit by an arrow, wiped his face casually, grabbed the long sword, and followed Xuan Xiao out the door.

In the evening of dawn in winter, the two of them walked all the way to the Taiyi Palace, the sky was still blue and black, the wind was blowing, the snow and fog filled the air, and the surroundings were gray and white. The two disciples who guarded the palace gate hugged their swords behind the pillars. , was dozing sweetly.The two waited in front of the palace gate for a while, but they didn't see Taiqing's figure, Yun Tianqing was bored with the wait, and started thinking wildly again: "Brother, do you think there are ghosts on this mountain?"

Xuan Xiao was startled, and then said seriously: "Qinghua Sect is a place of pure cultivation, how can there be ghosts?"

Yun Tianqing laughed: "When a person dies, he will turn into a ghost. The Qionghua faction has been established for hundreds of years, so what does it matter how many ghosts are there?" Then, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the valley, "Look, there are ghosts over there. Float over here!" His words were just bluffing, and when Xuan Xiao turned around, a handful of snow balled up in his palm, and he was about to stuff it into his collar, but when he looked up, he saw Xuan Xiao's expression froze, unbelievable.

Yun Tianqing's heart trembled slightly, thinking that he just said it casually, could it really be effective?For a while, he even forgot to stuff the snowball, and followed Xuan Xiao's gaze to look down, only to see a light-colored figure in the valley in the distance, walking indistinctly.Yun Tianqing suddenly turned pale with shock: "There really is a ghost!"

Xuan Xiao's heart was also trembling for a while, and Yun Tianqing yelled at him, and he believed it even more, but his face remained calm, and he just scolded: "What nonsense! It's just someone from the same sect."

Yun Tianqing smiled darkly: "At this time, everyone is practicing martial arts on the sword dance floor, who is going to run up the mountain?"

The two of them were talking, the figure who didn't know whether it was a man or a ghost walked very fast without touching the ground, and within a short while turned over from the mountain depression to the platform on the top of the mountain. She was holding a blue oil-paper umbrella in her hand, covering the upper half of her face, only her sharp chin and long black hair draped over her shoulders could be vaguely seen.

Yun Tianqing smacked his lips: "Oh, it's still a flamboyant ghost."

At this time Xuan Xiao had already seen the Qionghua logo embroidered on the corner of the man's robe, knew that it was a human and not a ghost, so he just snorted and ignored him.

The man holding the umbrella stood still outside Yingchi, smiled softly, and said slowly: "The ghost character is quite appropriate, and the colorful character is not suitable." The voice was soft and cold, like the snowflakes that are falling.

Yun Tianqing thought that this person was really interesting, so he laughed, and continued to talk to her: "Ghost girl is here, what can I do?"

But the girl didn't bother to chat with him anymore, she put away the paper umbrella and showed her face, the two of them suddenly felt a bright light in front of them, as if a bright blue sky had been split in the hazy sky.I saw her leaning slightly, clasping her fists at the two people in front of her: "If I guess right, the two of you must be Senior Brother Xuan Xiao and Senior Brother Yun?" Without half-tweaking, it has a fresh and refreshing style.

Xuan Xiao returned the courtesy and replied: "Exactly. But I don't know that the girl is—"

The girl said: "I am Suyu, who was recently recruited by Master Taiqing, and I have met two senior brothers."

Yun Tianqing couldn't control his mouth when he saw a beautiful girl, especially this girl was so interesting, so he opened his mouth to flirt: "Wow, isn't it a pity that you are so beautiful and come to cultivate immortality?"

Xuan Xiao's heart skipped a beat, he just felt that his move was very rude, and immediately stopped: "Yun Tianqing, don't talk nonsense!"

Yun Tianqing glanced at him sideways, thinking that this kid is really good at pretending to be sweet, and usually only laughs to himself when he sees me playing around with Yuan Yiyuanguang's two potatoes, how can he pretend to be a gentleman again?

But Suyu didn't care. Hearing Xuan Xiao say the word "Yun Tianqing", a pair of clear and clear eyes looked him up and down, and then said lightly: "Except for the appearance, you and I are just bones. What's the difference?"

Yun Tianqing only felt that her answers were interesting, and teased her: "Junior Sister can see so clearly at such a young age, isn't it not fun?"

Xuan Xiao coughed from the side: "It's both appearance and age, Junior Brother Tianqing has been a beginner for half a year, and the discrimination in this world has not changed at all."

Yun Tianqing glared at Xuan Xiao, thinking, well, you guy will tear down my platform when he sees a pretty girl, it's better not to be such a brother.So the thief smiled and said: "Naturally, Senior Brother Xuanxiao has profound Taoism. If you continue to cultivate like you, you will surely be able to cultivate a piece of old rotten wood in a short time, which will always be with the world. Congratulations!"

Doesn't Xuan Xiao know that he is cursing himself as pedantic?He has known Yun Tianqing for many years, and he has already felt his temper clearly, so he just nodded slightly and said with a sneer: "Thank you, thank you, I accept it."

Suyu quietly watched the two quarreling, and laughed out loud.She is already a bit older, and a girl is precocious. Standing with these two little brothers, she looks more like a sister.As soon as she laughed, the two teenagers felt that their faces were a little hot, and they were used to bickering on weekdays. At this time, Fang felt that his words and deeds with each other were childish.

For a moment, Daoist Master Taiqing landed his sword on the top of the mountain and walked forward. Seeing the three people with their backs turned to him talking lively, he couldn't help stroking their beards and said softly: "As fellowmen, we should be close, Xuanxiao, Tiantian Qing, Suyu is a newcomer, as seniors, you have to take care of her everywhere."

When the three of them heard Master's voice, they hurriedly turned around to salute. Qing Xiao and the two nodded in agreement, and looked at each other, but they had the same thought in their hearts: Who is so close to this bastard!

But Taiqing didn't know what he was thinking about the duo?He only said: "Very good. Today's practice is different from usual. I will send the three of you to an illusion. How to escape, you need to realize it yourself. If you can return smoothly, there will be a task of subjugating demons in the future. Master can rest assured to teach you to go down the mountain and try."

Yun Tianqing has been trapped on the mountain for the past six months, and he was extremely bored. When he heard the word "down the mountain", his eyes lit up immediately. Although Xuan Xiao was not as anxious as he was, he was still eager to try after half a year of practicing immortal arts.Taiqing glanced at the two of them with a smile, and added: "The time limit is one hour, if you don't return after the time limit, I will naturally recall you, and you don't have to think about going down the mountain."

"Only one hour??" Yun Tianqing said in shock: "Master, please be more generous. Although Senior Brother Xuanxiao and I have nothing to do, Junior Sister Suyu has just started—"

Taiqing smiled and scolded: "As a teacher, I have my own calculations. Where is it your turn to bargain? It was agreed for an hour, and you can't let it go for half a moment! Go and come back quickly." After finishing speaking, he was not allowed to argue any more. Squeeze a fairy formula with one hand and wave it forward, a cloud of blue light shrouded it, and the three of them felt the world spinning for a while, their bodies were floating, and they didn't know where they were.

When the mind gradually cleared up, the cold wind, falling snow, and mountain peaks all disappeared. Yun Tianqing got up and looked around intently, only to see that he was in a cabin, his body was up and down, drifting with the water, and the wood on one side The window is half-opened, exposing the sparkling light outside the window, and a crescent moon.Xuan Xiao and Su Yu sitting next to them also rubbed their eyes and sat up. The three of them looked at each other and asked in unison: "Where is this place?" They each shook their heads and said: "It's probably the illusion that Master Taiqing said. Go." Three mouths, two sentences, unexpectedly said the same thing, as if it had been planned in advance.

Yun Tianqing let out a laugh, stretched out his hand to touch the wooden board under his feet, and said strangely: "This floor feels very hard, it doesn't look fake at all."

Xuan Xiao shook his head and said: "What you see and feel is what you want. This place is both real and illusory. If you think it is real, it is no different from the real."

Yun Tianqing opened his eyes wide: "It's so magical? Whatever you think in your heart, it will be conjured up? Then maybe I thought of you too?" He thought about it, and started talking nonsense, "Maybe I will open my eyes at this time After looking at it, I found that I had a long, long dream, and now these are all in the dream."

Xuan Xiao sneered and said: "Yes, you dreamed of us, I will wake you up now and tell you to go back to your hometown." As he spoke, he kicked Yun Tianqing, who fell to the ground, hehe He smiled and moved away.

Suyu smiled and shook her head: "Okay, it's important to find a way to escape from here first."

The two of them recalled Master Taiqing's instruction before, and they both stopped.There was a moment of silence in the cabin, only the sound of running water was heard.Just as Yun Tianqing was about to speak, Xuan Xiao stopped him with a gesture, listened intently for a while, and frowned, "Did you hear the sound of the piano?"

After he mentioned it, Yun Tianqing and Suyu noticed that there was indeed a faint sound of silk strings, very ethereal and melodious, and it was indescribably comfortable to hear, but the sound of the piano fluctuated from far and near, unexpectedly Can't tell where it came from.

Xuan Xiao stretched out his hand and pointed forward: "That's over there." There was no door in the cabin, so he turned out through the open window, and stepped on the deck lightly with both feet.As far as the eyes can see, the night is dark, and the clear light is sprinkled on the water surface, and the ripples glowing with silver light are folded and extended, supporting the lonely boat to the unknown distance.

Yun Tianqing jumped out together with Xuan Xiao, seeing this empty scene, immediately put a hand on his shoulder, and said in a low voice: "This place is unusual, don't be careless."

Xuan Xiao didn't answer, Yun Tianqing was slightly surprised, looked at him sideways, but saw that he had a strange expression, as if a little unbelievable, and there was a bit of nostalgia in his eyes.For a while Suyu also followed, Xuan Xiao took a breath and said: "Whatever it is, you have to go and have a look."

The three of them walked side by side, the boat was not big, there were only two small cabins at the front and back, and they reached the front cabin within a few steps.I saw a thin strip curtain hanging in front of the cabin door, and a brass lamp was hung on each corner, illuminating the figure of a woman in the cabin. The soft light made her silhouette picturesque. If there is no fragrance.

Xuan Xiao stood sideways in front of the cabin, raised his hand to lift the curtain, hesitated, but put his hand down again.After a while, the woman finished playing the song, and asked through the curtain, "Why don't you three come in and have a seat?" Her voice was graceful and melodious, like the strings of a zither, entangled in people's hearts, but Yun Tianqing and Xuan Xiao were old She was still young, and Suyu was also a woman, and the charm contained in her voice seduced these three people, it was no different from playing the piano to a cow.

Xuan Xiao didn't understand the style at all, and was very disappointed when she heard that her voice was different from what he thought, so he just replied: "You play "Remembering the Past" very well."

The woman let out a sigh, put away all the previous coquettishness, and asked seriously: "Do you know this song?"

Xuan Xiao nodded: "When my teacher was alive, I used to play this song, but it's a pity that you are not her."

The woman's voice paused for a while, and said again: "It seems that your master is also a sad person."

Xuan Xiao was startled: "I...don't know."

The woman tapped her head twice across the curtain: "Yes, you are simple-minded, and you probably don't understand."

After hearing this sentence, Yun Tianqing looked at Xuan Xiao in surprise, thinking that if this guy could be regarded as simple-minded, most of the Qionghua faction would be promoted to immortals.Didn't he know that even he himself didn't understand the words of love that this woman said. Although he had learned very frivolously from the prodigal sons of the rivers and lakes, deep down in his heart he didn't have the slightest blasphemous heart towards any woman.

Hearing the sound of the zither next to her ear, the woman sang softly: "The green grass beside the river makes me think about the long distance. The long distance is unimaginable. I dreamed about it in the past. I dreamed that I was beside me, and suddenly I felt that I was in a foreign land."

Yun Tianqing was forced to read by the school teacher since he was a child. Although he didn't understand the meaning, he had a good memory. After hearing these few sentences, he knew it was Cai Yong's "Drinking Horses and Walking in the Great Wall Caves", so he took it casually : "Different counties in other lands, you can't see each other after a while. The dry mulberry knows the wind of the sky, and the sea knows the cold of the sky."

The woman put her hands on the strings and stopped singing. After a long while, she let out a long sigh and said quietly: "I have been here for more than three hundred years, and this is the first time anyone has listened to my piano seriously. When other people see me, they will only—" said When I got here, I thought of something and stopped.

Yun Tianqing was surprised: "You have been here for so long, could it be that you have become a fairy?"

The woman didn't answer him, but said: "Go forward for a while, and you can get out of this water area. I can only send you here. Please take care of yourself."

Suyu thought about the verses she sang earlier, and felt that the meaning was overwhelmingly sad and lingering. She was a little older and a little more understanding of people, so she couldn't help asking: "The person you remember is safe now? Why? Aren't you going to find him?"

The woman said lightly: "It's long gone, we only meet each other in the soul dream."

Suyu was stunned at the moment, but the woman comforted her gently: "It's a great fortune to have someone to remember." After a pause, she continued: "You three are good boys, I'm easy to understand, so I'll do it for you How about a hexagram?"

This time the three of them shook their heads at the same time, blurting out the same sentence again: "I don't believe in fate."

The woman finally smiled slightly and said, "Okay. That's fine too."

When the boat reached the shoal, the three of them abandoned the boat and went ashore. When they turned around and were about to thank each other, they saw that the boat had already gone away slowly. Under the light, they could still see the pretty figure of a woman, who was blown by the wind and chanted like a sigh:

"... long-term desire to swing the sword to cut through the passing water, but use up your youth to cast the ashes of calamity."

The author has something to say: post some fragmentary settings

age:

It seems that I haven’t given the exact ages of the main characters until now. In fact, it was fixed when I made the settings. The ages may be younger than the ones in the article. Who told me that I can’t write teenagers well, haha .

There are still some characters who haven't appeared on the stage, so let's make up after slowly writing them out.
