Master is respected

"Qing Qi rises to heaven,

The turbid air sinks to the ground,

There are heaven and earth in heaven and earth, and Tao transforms into yin and yang.

Negating yin and embracing yang, Tai Chi is born.

Extreme qi is divided into five elements, and the five elements generate and restrain each other, forming the gossip.

......"

The afternoon sun slanted into the courtyard, and Bai Lu, who moved a bamboo chair and sat in the courtyard with picturesque eyebrows, read to the children around her in a soft voice.The frail and sickly brother was lying on her lap, his face was rosy from the sun for a long time.

Bai Lu patted her younger brother on the back and slowed down her voice.The sun cast a golden halo on her, and her whole body seemed to be glowing.The satin-like black hair hung down behind her, and a butterfly flew over and landed on it.

The naughty child was attracted by the butterfly, he stood up and jumped, and the butterfly flapped its wings and flew towards the door.The child chased after him, but was startled when he opened the door.

Sitting on the stone ladder at the gate of the courtyard was a thin girl, wearing luxurious clothes, but her face was stained with tears, her eyes were red like a rabbit.When she saw someone coming out, she hurriedly stood up, her eyes dodged, and there was a look of panic on her face.

Bai Lu heard the sound and came out, she looked at the little girl in front of her, her eyes swept across her face, and hesitantly asked, "You are... Jun Zhuo?"

Xie Junzhuo wiped his face, hummed softly, the voice was almost inaudible.She ran out from the City Lord's Mansion, not knowing where to go, and came here without knowing it.

When Bai Xianxian was still alive, she would occasionally bring her here to visit. This is the gathering place of the Bai surname. She remembered that there was a gentle elder sister, but it was difficult for the elder sister to meet again after she went to the Seven Star Sect.

She had nowhere to go, and when she heard voices in the yard of Bai Lu's house, she sat down on the steps at the door.Bai Lu's voice was so gentle, it reminded Xie Junzhuo of his mother who had passed away, grievances and sadness welled up, and he couldn't stop crying.

She didn't mean to disturb them, she just wanted to take a rest here, sort out her emotions and leave.

"I won't cause you any trouble, I'll leave in a while." Xie Junzhuo grabbed his cuffs, lowered his head like a child who made a mistake, his vision was blurred by tears.She was apprehensive, afraid of being driven away and rejected.

There was a chuckle above her head, and Bai Lu walked in front of Xie Junzhuo, easily picked her up on the ground, and let her lean in her arms: "Silly girl, what are you talking about? When you came here with Aunt Bai It's not like this. It just so happens that their study is over today, so I'll cook something delicious for you."

The familiar warmth embraced the sad Xie Junzhuo, smoothing away the grievances in her heart little by little, she raised her hand to wipe the tears off her face, her nose couldn't stop sour.

Bai Lu hugged her, as if holding her whole world in the palm of her hand, caring for her tenderly, letting the haze in her heart dissipate, and a bouquet of small flowers bloomed.

The children cheered and said that there were good things to eat, Bai Yun came over obediently and held Bai Lu's other hand, he smiled sweetly at Xie Junzhuo, and shyly called her elder sister.

Bai Lu patted his head, and said to Xie Junzhuo in his arms: "Aunt Bai is gone, if you are bored at home alone, you can come to me, I am at home recently. Even if I am not here, Bai Yun can still talk to you .”

"Can I really come here at any time?" Xie Junzhuo felt a little joy in her heart, but soon she lowered her head in discouragement.She felt that Bai Lu was just talking, and she should not be so pleasing.

Bai Lu saw her worries, and kissed her forehead affectionately, and said, "As long as you want, you can come anytime, our door will never reject you."

Xie Junzhuo sniffed, looking at Bai Lu's gentle smile close at hand, she felt that the afternoon was as beautiful as a picture scroll.Bai Lu hugged her and led Bai Ning, the children ran around them, the golden sun set, and there was only laughter in the yard.

That was Xie Junzhuo's first step out of the heavy cage of the City Lord's Mansion after Bai Xianxian's death. She had just fled in panic, feeling uneasy, full of fear and fear.She didn't think about what the destination would look like, and she didn't even expect to be accepted by anyone.

The appearance of Bai Lu is like a beam of light, allowing her to see the direction while running.

The following days were a rare tranquility, Xie Xiaoxian did not restrict her contact with Bai Lu, she was able to breathe, read and practice calligraphy under Bai Lu's teaching, and learned how to behave in the world.Occasionally, Bai Lu would teach her Taoist techniques and explain "No Phase Record" to her bit by bit.

She has not weak talent, but Bai Lu never asked her to go to the Seven Star School, but instead said that if there is a chance in the future, she can go to a farther place to have a look.

It's a pity that those days didn't last long. After Bai Lu left the Seven Star Sect, there seemed to be a distance between them.Bai Lu once stood in the courtyard for a day and a night, looking at the direction where the farthest and brightest stars rose, without saying a word.Then she asked Xie Junzhuo a question about what she wanted to do in the future.

Xie Junzhuo didn't understand the deep meaning of Bai Lu's question, and replied innocently: "I want to be a person like my sister."

It was the first time Bai Lu heard that Xie Junzhuo's answer did not praise her, but instead looked sad. She stroked|touched Xie Junzhuo's face, and said in a low voice: "It's not good at all like me, you should be yourself. Go as far as you can Far away, do whatever you want, not be moved by the world or others. Instead of being trapped between square inches like me, it is difficult to make a choice.”

"Did sister encounter any problems?" Xie Junzhuo looked at Bai Lu in puzzlement. She looked around the yard of Bai Lu's house. It was spacious and bright enough, full of love and laughter.She feels that this is not a small world, but freedom and hope.

Bai Lu smiled bitterly. Instead of answering Xie Junzhuo, she hid her troubles in her heart.Everyone has their own way to go, she doesn't need to let Xie Junzhuo bear the same pain as her.She hopes that she will be happy and healthy, even if she had some unpleasantness in her childhood, she will not lose the courage to strive for happiness.

Xie Junzhuo was ignorant, he didn't know what that kind of conversation foreshadowed, and then everything began to collapse completely. The Bailu family was involved in trouble because of one piece of land, and behind every trouble was Xie Xiaoxian's shadow.

Xie Junzhuo plucked up the courage to ask Xie Xiaoxian, but what he got was a slap in the face from Xie Xiaoxian's anger. Xie Xiaoxian didn't take her words to heart, and grounded her at home, and wouldn't let her out at the Hundred Flowers Club.It was she who ran away from home desperately when she heard the noise outside and Bai Lu's name.

The flower-blossoming event did not have the laughter and laughter of the past, the air was chill and cold, and the street was covered with a layer of bright red blood.The corpses of the two elders of the Bai family were carried onto the cart by Bai Lu. The people around watched all this, pointing and pointing, their eyes full of anger.

Bai Lu turned a deaf ear to it, she handled all this silently and calmly.She seemed to have rushed back from a far away place, her clothes were crumpled, stained with mud and grass clippings, the soft long hair that Xie Junzhuo envied most was messy, and there were scars from fighting on her face.She looked wind|dusty and pale.

It was the first time Xie Junzhuo saw the beheaded corpse of an acquaintance, and the face that had smiled at her was gray and dead.The strange thing is that Xie Junzhuo didn't feel terrible, but suffocated for a while, and the pain burst like a bubble, spreading to every corner of his heart.

Xie Junzhuo stood there blankly, Bai Lu looked up and saw her, there was no hatred or pain in her calm eyes, she just looked at Xie Junzhuo quietly like this, after a long time, said lightly: "Go back, there is nothing to see."

Before the blood of her loved ones had cooled down, the child of her enemy stood in front of her, and Bai Lu remained indifferent.After saying this, she pulled the cart and left amidst the condemnation of the crowd.

Xie Junzhuo wanted to call her back, but his voice was stuck in his throat, so he could only stare closely at her back.Seeing her dragging the corpses of her parents and disappearing before her eyes, everything will never go back.

The affairs of the two elders of the Bai family were not handled smoothly, and no one was willing to sell the coffin to Bai Lu.Bai Lu traveled all over Liaocheng, and everyone said that their family deserved their crimes and that they deserved their death, so they refused to sell the coffin.

Bai Lu didn't beg, she accepted everything calmly, that kind of calmness that made my heart chill, like a monster without emotion, just doing what it should do like a puppet.

When Xie Junzhuo heard the news, he smashed everything in the room, threatened the servants who guarded her, and ran out of the house again.She found the best coffin shop and used her identity to put pressure on them, threatening that they would not be able to stay if they did not sell the coffin to Bai Lu.For the first time, the identity she once hated worked.

But when she rushed to Wuliu Street with the coffin, she was rejected by Bai Lu. The Bai family didn't look like they were going to hold a funeral, and the door was still the same, quietly.Bai Lu cremated her parents, and put the ashes in a jar for burial.

Bai Lu asked the people at the coffin shop to go back and forth, leaving only Xie Junzhuo to accompany her for a meal.Bai Xing was frightened, and frightened in nightmares from time to time, Bai Lu finally put him to sleep, and did not call him when eating.

Bai Lu said: "Thank you for coming to give my parents a ride. If the two of them know about it, they will be very happy."

Xie Junzhuo held the bowl with tears streaming down her face, she knew that she was the one who was least qualified to come, her father executed Bai Lu's parents with his own hands.

But Bai Lu didn't blame her, and chatted with her as usual, but there was no gentle smile on her face.At the end, Bai Lu asked, "Do you want to leave Liaocheng?"

Xie Junzhuo raised her head suddenly, her eyes full of hope, she looked at Bai Lu, and said without hesitation: "I want to."

Bai Lu's family was in such a catastrophe, Xie Junzhuo thought that Bai Lu was going to leave with her younger brother.Asking her like this is planning to take her away too.Xie Junzhuo doesn't care about everything now, thinking of being able to be with Bai Lu forever, she has no nostalgia in her heart.

Seeing this, Bai Lu raised her hand to touch her head, a long-lost smile appeared on her face, and she said, "Okay, you go back and pack your things, and I will come to you at night in seven days' time."

Xie Junzhuo agreed, and she was overjoyed for it. She returned home and carefully started planning, counting the days day by day, until seven days later at night, she sat at home with a small bundle and waited for Bailu to come.She never thought that Bai Lu would lie to her, but in fact Bai Lu came as promised.

She came riding the wind in the night, broke the restriction of Xie Junzhuo's room, and took Xie Junzhuo away.

The night wind brushed against her face, Xie Junzhuo felt very happy, she escaped from that small cage, thinking that from then on the sky would be high and the sea would be wide and free.

But the reality was far from what she expected, Bai Lu sent her out of the city, in the dark night, Bai Lu's face was a little pale, her eyes were cold and without warmth.She pushed Xie Junzhuo away and said, "Go away, and never come back again. Your Xie family is my enemy. Next time I see you, I will definitely kill you."

Xie Junzhuo was stunned, the wind that was still blissful just now was suddenly icy cold, Xie Junzhuo shuddered, and said in astonishment: "Sister?"

Bai Lu turned her back and didn't look at her. In the night, only her voice came to Xie Junzhuo's ears clearly: "There is a vast world outside Liao City. Aunt Bai has always hoped that you can go out and take a look. Tonight I will send you off, and from now on, you have nothing to do with Liaocheng."

"You have been learning characters with me all these years, and I am your half teacher. You are going to start a new life, and I have a sentence for you to remember. There is no absolute good or evil in the world, and the balance is yours. Conscience. I want you to have justice in your heart, walk the right way, even if you are oppressed to the dust, you must stand upright, and never fall|degenerate because of this, and do harm to the world. Can you do it?"

Bai Lu asked sharply, Xie Junzhuo was restrained by her, he opened his mouth, he didn't know where he had a burst of courage, and said: "I can do it."

"Okay, you can go." Bai Lu's voice softened, with a little imperceptible relief.

Xie Junzhuo didn't leave, she stepped forward two steps to pull Bai Lu, but Bai Lu avoided it.Her back seemed to have eyes, and her figure floated out like a fallen leaf.Xie Junzhuo followed up relentlessly, holding her small package, biting her lower lip tightly, her eyes stubborn.

Bai Lu sighed and turned around, Xie Junzhuo bumped into her arms, it was cold and lost the familiar temperature.

Bai Lu grabbed her hand and placed it on her heart, where there should be a warm heart beating alive.But Xie Junzhuo's hand didn't touch the heartbeat, and he was surprisingly quiet.She vaguely guessed something, her face turned pale.

Bai Lu sighed: "I'm already dead. What you see now is nothing but a murderous creature that transforms evil spirits. There is nowhere for me to go in the world of yin and yang, five elements and three realms."
