Sick Beauty [Rebirth]

Ye Yunlan looked down at the few small cakes, and after a long time, he took one and put it in his mouth.

The fragrance of apricot blossoms and the sweetness of mung beans melted in his mouth. The taste he hadn't tasted for many years came over a long period of time, making him stop for a while.

"Master?" Shen Shu next to him looked at him suspiciously, "Mung bean cake, isn't it delicious?"

I don't know if it was an illusion, but the young man's hoarse and deep voice was somewhat similar to the person in his memory.

He must have been stunned.

That person was born in the Demon Abyss, he was born as the co-lord of the Demon Realm, the Supreme Demon Dao, he had no blood relatives, let alone a master and apprentice, and had no similarity or connection with Shen Shu at all.

Ye Yunlan slowly swallowed the mung bean cake in his mouth, and said in a low voice, "...it's okay."

Shen Shu didn't think too much, and said: "If Master likes it, I can make it for Master after I go back."

Ye Yunlan gave a soft "hmm", took the oiled paper bag, picked up a few mung bean cakes inside and ate them one by one.

Shen Shu noticed that, slightly different from usual, his master ate very slowly, chewing slowly like a little girl.

It seemed a little hard to swallow, and it seemed that he was reluctant to finish eating right away.

Can't help but wonder.Master eats so slowly, does it feel delicious, or is it not so delicious?

"Shang Ke" means that Yuemo is... delicious, right?

Seeing that Ye Yunlan finally finished eating the mung bean cake, Shen Shu habitually took out a handkerchief from the storage ring and handed it to Ye Yunlan, "Master."

He has been taking care of Ye Yunlan's food and daily life in these years, and he has arranged many small details very well.

Ye Yunlan nodded slightly, took the handkerchief, lowered her head and slowly wiped her five fingers carefully, and then handed the handkerchief back.

That hand was shimmering like white jade in the sun, like a half-blossomed lotus flower, really beautiful.

Shen Shu stared at it for a moment, then took the handkerchief back, but touched the other's fingertips inadvertently.

A bit of coldness spread over him, making his heart tremble slightly, and subconsciously wanted to clasp the opponent's hand instead, wanting to warm the opponent's icy fingertips.

His knuckles tensed slightly, but he didn't move.

Ye Yunlan said: "Since you came to Tianzong, you have been living on Qingyun Mountain. You have never been to the secular world. Today, you can take this opportunity to take a walk and take a look. There are all kinds of things in the world. See more. For your future practice, It also helps."

Shen Shu: "Yes, Master."

The master and apprentice walked slowly on the noisy street.

Shen Shu paid attention to the flow of people, and walked half a step ahead of Ye Yunlan to avoid others bumping into his master.

Even though it is winter, most of the cultivators have spiritual protection and are not afraid of the cold. Ordinary people on the street wear mostly cotton-padded jackets. Ye Yunlan, who is wearing a snow-white fox fur and a tulle gauze on her head, is somewhat eye-catching.

As the wind blows, the plain white tulle is slightly raised, and the hazy silhouette behind the tulle can be seen faintly.

Shen Shu saw several young female cultivators who had gathered together stopped by the roadside, and looked over curiously, as if they wanted to see the true face of their master.

Such eyes are not uncommon along the way.

Shen Shu knew that it wasn't just because of clothes.

Ye Yunlan's figure is tall and slender, even if he can't see his face clearly, he has a demeanor in his actions, as if he has gone through the distant years alone, far away from the troubled world, and everything in the world no longer catches his eyes.Standing there, it is like a bright moon in the sky, which makes people yearn for it.

Shen Shu's expression was slightly gloomy, and he turned his body slightly to block the sight of those female cultivators.

But I saw a large group of people gathered not far away.

"Master, there are a lot of people ahead," Shen Shu said, "What are they looking at?"

Ye Yunlan raised his eyes and glanced at the crowd.

There is a clear lake in front of you, and a small bridge extends out from the shore of the lake. At the end of the bridge is an exquisite white jade pavilion, standing in the emerald green lake water, showing the style of a fairy family.From the shore to the pavilion, there are many people gathered.

Almost instantly, Ye Yunlan recognized where it was, and couldn't help frowning.

If possible, he would never want to meet anything related to that person in his life.

It's just that the opponent's power is huge. When he was in Qingyun Mountain in Dongzhou, he could still see it completely. However, this place is Zhongzhou. There are some things that he can't see completely unless he wants to avoid seeing them.

"That's Xuanji Pavilion." Ye Yunlan said.

Shen Shu: "Xuanji Pavilion?"

"You must have heard of the Tianji Pavilion in the Northern Territory." When talking about the Tianji Pavilion, Ye Yunlan looked cold. "The Tianji Pavilion has set up mysterious pavilions all over the world, and placed Tianji Stones in the pavilions. Every month, secrets will be announced on the Tianji Stones." The list, all monks in the world can watch it."

Shen Shu: "The list of secrets...what is it?"

Ye Yunlan said lightly: "The Tianji List is the Tianji Pavilion's ranking of monks' strength, weapons and looks in the world."

Shen Shu blinked suspiciously, "Why set up such a list?"

"The people in the Tianji Pavilion are good at astrology, divination, and deduction of the secrets of the sky. The founder of the Tianji Pavilion once said that the world's calculations should focus on the common people. Therefore, the Tianji List was established to include practitioners from all over the world, predict disasters and disasters in the world, and stabilize the practice world. Order, this is the purpose of the Tianji Pavilion."

At this point, Ye Yunlan's expression flashed a trace of sarcasm, which was hidden under the veil of the fence, and Shen Shu could not see it.

"It sounds very powerful," Shen Shu said. "It's just that I can understand the ranking of cultivators' strength and weapons, but their looks...why should they be included in the ranking?"

Ye Yunlan was silent.

He had asked Chen Weiyuan this question in his previous life.

At that time, Chen Weiyuan half hugged him, held his hand, kissed his fingertips, and asked with a light smile: "Yunlan, do you think that in this world, beauty is useless?"

He was surrounded by the other party and sat on the high chair of the Pavilion Master of the Tianji Pavilion, and the pages of the book that wrote the Tianji Bang were placed in front of him. The golden aura was flowing and within reach, but he did not reach out to touch it, and only whispered: "There was once someone You told me that appearance is the most useless thing for practitioners, and it may even bring disaster."

"Who said that to you? The truth is somewhat ulterior." Chen Weiyuan shook his head and smiled lightly, "Although I have never valued appearance, it is undeniable that appearance is never a useless thing. Sometimes, it is even more powerful than magic weapons. Sharp." He paused, "A magical weapon can pierce everything, but what looks pierce is the heart."

"It's just that the man said that appearance will bring disasters. It's true. An overly outstanding appearance will not only bring chaos and disasters to oneself, but also to others, and even the entire cultivation world."

"When the patriarch built the pavilion, two of the most outstanding Taoists fought for the most beautiful woman in the cultivation world at that time. Later, they were sentenced to the sect. One entered the devil's sect and the other entered the ghost way. The cultivation world was in chaos, and the Taoist sect also became vigorous because of it. Serious injury. Since then, the Patriarch has listed his appearance, strength, and weapon ranking on the top of the list of secrets."

As Chen Weiyuan spoke, he sighed slightly, and said: "If someone can treasure the beauties, let the magic weapons be put away, and make the strong disappear from the world, then this world will be free from many troubles." After finishing speaking, he bent down again, Thin lips touched the tips of his ears, and the voice was gentle and affectionate, "At that time, Yun Lan, maybe I can also let go of my responsibilities, hold hands with you, and hide in Taoyuan together."

Ye Yunlan closed his eyes.

The so-called holding hands and holding hands, and hiding in a paradise together... are all lies.

He said coldly, "Probably because they are bored."

Shen Shu froze for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing.

The young man's voice was hoarse, but when he smiled, he was a little low and provocative, "What the master said is that it is indeed boring... It's just that such a boring list is just the words of the Tianji Pavilion family, why are there so many people?" Go around and look at it, and even believe it to be true?"

He thought about it for a while, and then said, "Besides, is it true that no one objected to such a controversial matter like the ranking of monks from the very beginning?"

"Yes. It's just that they were suppressed." Ye Yunlan said.

"Tianji Pavilion is only one of the six schools of Taoism. Does it really have such a great ability?" Shen Shu was puzzled.

Ye Yunlan said: "Tianji Pavilion alone is naturally not that powerful. But standing behind the Tianji Pavilion is the Chen family among the ancient cultivation families."

Shen Shu practiced with Ye Yunlan these years, was influenced by him, and read a lot of ancient books, knowing that there are ancient families in the practice world.

Different from the six Taoist sects on the table, the ancient aristocratic families' deeds are secretive but extremely powerful. Many sects and dynasties in the cultivation world have shadows of these aristocratic families behind them.But he didn't expect that the Tianji Pavilion, one of the six sects, was supported by aristocratic families.

So I was a little curious, "What kind of existence is the Chen family...?"

"The Chen family is a family of fate cultivators, and they master the art of spying on and manipulating fortunetelling. Not many people in the practice world know about the Chen family, but those who know, no one dares to provoke them."

Ye Yunlan spoke calmly.

He actually doesn't know much about the Chen family. Even though he stayed in the Chen family for dozens of years in his previous life, he still couldn't get a glimpse of the whole picture.

The Chen family's family rules are strict, even if Chen Weiyuan becomes a Taoist couple with him, the places he can reach on weekdays are still limited.

The time he remembers most is the time when he inadvertently broke into the main hall where Chen Weiyuan usually practiced, and saw him sitting cross-legged on a huge astrolabe.

The place he was in was clearly in the main hall, but on the dome was the boundless starry sky.The astrolabe on which Chen Weiyuan sits cross-legged depicts the heavenly branches, earth stems and five elements, as well as countless lines that are so complicated that it makes one's head hurt.

He has always had a photographic memory, when he saw the lines at first glance, he was so shocked that he almost vomited a mouthful of blood, and then he saw Chen Weiyuan opened his eyes and looked at him.

The distance between them was not far, but the other party's gaze seemed to be looking at him from afar through the endless galaxy, and the tenderness and affection that were usually there seemed to disappear in this vast and magnificent sea of ​​stars.

Even though soon Chen Weiyuan got up and walked towards him, cared for him tenderly, and fed him medicine to heal his wounds, but he could hear the other party's tactful criticism in his words.Since then, he never disturbed the other party when he was practicing.

Shen Shu said: "Tianji Pavilion is so powerful, why can't I see Tianji Pavilion's reputation in Dongzhou?"

Ye Yunlan said: "Because of Mr. Qiyun."

Shen Shu: "Sovereign Master?" He frowned, he really didn't have a good impression of the man who often appeared in his master's room.

"Mr. Qiyun is the only metamorphic monk in Dongzhou, and no one is allowed to peep in his territory. Therefore, Tianji Pavilion's power in Dongzhou is the weakest among the five continents."

This is also the reason why he chose to stay in Qingyun Mountain in this life.

It's just that why he met Chen Weiyuan when he was under the three thousandth rank of the sect, and why the majestic Tianji Pavilion's young master came to Dongzhou all the way, it's a bit subtle to think about it now.

But Ye Yunlan didn't want to think about it anymore.

He didn't have the energy or time to think about all the things about Chen Weiyuan.

While speaking, he and Shen Shu had already slowly approached the Emerald Lake, and vaguely heard complicated discussions.

Someone said: "The new issue of the Tianji list is out again. Tsk, sure enough, there is still no major change in the Tianji list this time—" Another person continued: "On the Tianji list, there are still only Mr. Qiyun, For how many years have passed between Patriarch Soul Eater, Yang and Zhenren, none of those masters on the earth list can reach the top of the heaven list?"

"Do you think it's so easy to reach the immortal ranks? If that's the case, the Tiantian sect won't monopolize the leaders of the Taoist sect for these years."

"That's all for the Tianbang list. It's been almost ten years, and Xu Qingyue from the Tanqing Sect in the Northern Territory is the number one beauty list. I really want to see how beautiful this so-called number one beauty in the cultivation world is." Someone sighed.

"I heard from Fellow Daoist that he saw Xu Qingyue on Tianchi Mountain a few days ago."

"Is it true, Xu Qingyue also went to Tianchi Mountain to participate in the discussion meeting?"

Hearing Xu Qingyue's name, Ye Yunlan's expression moved slightly.

When he was with Chen Weiyuan back then, he had heard Xu Qingyue's name many times. It seemed that he was the best friend of the other party, but he died because of saving Chen Weiyuan.

Every year on the festival day, Chen Weiyuan would go to pay homage to this best friend by himself, and would only come back after disappearing for a few days.

Sri Lanka people are dead.Ye Yunlan had never seen what Chen Weiyuan, his best friend, looked like.

When he was concentrating on thinking, there was a sudden noise in the distance.

"Look, there are two Tan Qingzong disciples at the Xunxian Pavilion, and the person walking in front seems to be Xu Qingyue—" The crowd moved after hearing the sound, and began to rush in one direction.

Soon, there were only the two of them left in place.

Shen Shu stopped at the same spot, seemingly in a daze, Ye Yunlan noticed his situation, turned her head and said indifferently: "Why, Shen Shu, are you also interested in Xu Qingyue?"

When she was young and admired Ai, Ye Yunlan thought that Shen Shu should have reached such an age.

Shen Shu came back to his senses, blinked, and said, "It's enough for me to look at Master. The number one beauty in the practice world, in my heart, is not half as good as Master."

In the past few years, it's not that Ye Yunlan hasn't been praised by others for his appearance, but he has always felt that his appearance and appearance are just fleeting, and he has always taught Shen Shu that way.

But when he was stared at seriously by the young man, he still felt a little uncomfortable.Even worse than when the other party was young.

He wanted to rub Shen Shu's head, but the young man's figure was almost the same as his. If he wanted to touch it, he had to raise his hand to touch it.

Ye Yunlan had no choice but to withdraw her hand, and lightly reprimanded, "Poor mouth."

——Xunxian Pavilion.

Three-story private room.

Chen Weiyuan was making tea with a tea set, while Chen Xianyu sat beside him tremblingly, raising his hands from time to time to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead.

"Why are you so nervous?" Chen Weiyuan said suddenly, "Could it be that you are afraid of being a brother?"

"No, it's not... I just thought of seeing Senior Brother Xu later, and I felt a little nervous for a while." Chen Xianyu hurriedly said, "After all, I haven't seen Senior Brother Xu for many years. I don't know if he still remembers me. .”

"Qingyue has always had a good memory, and in the past few years, she has often asked me about your situation." Chen Weiyuan said indifferently, "You have been away from home for a few years, and it's fine if you forgot your family training. Mo even forgot the most basic etiquette."

"No. I will be polite, brother, don't worry." Chen Xianyu quickly agreed.

Then I heard a very pleasant voice from outside the private room, "Senior brother Chen, I brought my brother over here."

"Please come in."

The door was pushed open, and a tall beauty dressed in white walked in.The beauty is carrying a sword behind her back, her temperament is pure and pure, her brows are clear and meaningful, so delicate that the sun, moon and stars are eclipsed, and there is a softness in her beauty.

Behind him was a young man who was very handsome and cute, but his expression seemed a bit withdrawn and gloomy.

Xu Qingyue looked at Chen Weiyuan with a smile, "Senior Brother Chen." Then she turned to look at Chen Xianyu, "And Junior Brother Tianxuan, I haven't seen you for many years, your appearance...is still the same as before."

Chen Xianyu looked at Xu Qingyue with dazed eyes, but came back to his senses in a moment, scratched his head quickly, and said, "Long time no see, Brother Xu. Last time on your birthday, I asked someone to bring back the 'Chunshan Mountain' for Senior Brother Xu." Condensation', brother, do you still like it?"

"Of course I like it very much." Xu Qingyue smiled, "But who told you that I want to taste the 'Spring Mountain Condensation' from Qingyun Mountain? I guess it must be Senior Brother Chen."

Chen Weiyuan smiled lightly and said: "It's me. Qingyue, how can there be anyone like me in this world who knows your heart? I also brought some Spring Mountain Condensation over today, and I'm planning to drink it with you."

Xu Qingyue clapped her hands and said, "Senior brother's skill in making tea is naturally very good. This time, Junior Brother Yin will have a chance to try it." He greeted the young man behind him, "Hurry up and say hello to Senior Brother Chen."

Northern Territory Tianji Pavilion and Tanqing Sect have always been very friendly sects, because the Chen and Xu families behind them are one of the bloodlines passed down from ancient times. Xu Qingyue, Chen Weiyuan, and Chen Xianyu have known each other since childhood, even though they belong to different sects , They also used to call each other brothers.

The young man surnamed Yin greeted him: "Hello, Senior Brother Chen."

Several people sat down in the building and chatted slowly.Chen Weiyuan was brewing the tea in his hand, his brows were indifferent and gentle, and he occasionally glanced at Xu Qingyue.If Xu Qingyue felt it, she also turned her head to look at Chen Weiyuan, and smiled slightly with her rosy lips.

He was born with a clear face, but this smile has a seductive mood.

There were some ripples in Chen Weiyuan's eyes.

Suddenly I heard Chen Xianyu approaching, and excitedly said in his ear: "Brother, look at that person on the street, that is the beauty I told you before, a beauty that I can hardly describe even with all my painting skills in my life."

Chen Weiyuan paused while making tea, turned his head, and looked down at the long street.
