[Xianjian + Ancient Sword Colleague] Being a master is also a kind of practice

After waking up from sleep, it was already the next morning. Shen Bailing opened his eyes, only to feel dizzy in his head, and his hands and feet were even softer, and he couldn't use his strength. Suddenly, he heard a slight breathing sound in his ears. Quickly turned his face to the side and saw a person lying beside the pillow with a tall jade crown, but a few strands of black hair like crow feathers scattered out disobediently and fell on the pillow, blown away by the person's soft breath. Swing from time to time.

In the hazy vision after waking up for the first time, the side face of that person is very quiet and beautiful, much softer than before. The morning light casts on his face through the window paper, outlining a deep facial curve like a knife and axe. His long eyelashes are like feathers, and his nose is handsome. There was an ice and snow-like Tsinghua temperament between the slightly frowned brows.Kings and grandchildren, that's all there is to think about.

Perhaps it was the sweeping eyes that made the sleeping man feel something, and the sword eyebrows seemed to be a little bit tighter. Then Shen Bailing suddenly realized that he had stared blankly at Murong Ziying for nearly a moment, and felt a little embarrassed. He hurriedly moved his eyes and propped himself up slowly.

There is just one thing that makes him very puzzled... Why does Ziying sleep here?Shen Bailing thought for a while, and gradually remembered some things...Yesterday, I drank wine with Captain Xiang and the others. In any case, I can't remember clearly, only the fragmented dreams are vaguely connected, and the dreams are just those old things, but this time it seems that I can feel a cool breath around me from time to time, which makes people feel at ease... How many years have you never experienced this feeling?

I was immersed in a somewhat sad mood, suddenly there were a few knocks and buttons outside the door, and then Xiang Qing's rough voice sounded: "Brother Shen, Brother Murong, are you awake?"

Shen Bailing was taken aback, stunned for a moment, and was about to answer, when he felt the body of the young man lying beside him shake slightly, and the calm aura surrounding his body suddenly returned to its usual coolness, as if he had awakened from a deep sleep .Sure enough, in the next moment, he stretched his hands and sat up straight, and then his gaze met a pair of deep eyes.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Shen Bailing only felt that Murong Ziying's eyes on him today seemed to be very complicated, and there was a hint of probing, but the young man remained silent, only pursing his lips and staring at him.Shen Bailing was a little dazed, did he not wake up?

"Uh...Ziying, you're awake." Shen Bailing had no choice but to find something to say, with a slight smile on his face, "Yesterday... I guess I must have lost my temper after drinking, I'm sorry to trouble you, I'll thank you in advance. After thinking about it for a while, I added another sentence, "If there is any offence, please bear with me."

The corners of the lips of the man in front of the bed tightened even more, but he still didn't say a word.

Some embarrassing atmosphere spread unknowingly, Shen Bailing became more uncomfortable, thinking secretly: what happened yesterday, why Ziying is so weird today...

Just as he was thinking about it, Xiang Qing from outside the door slapped the door panel again in time, and shouted repeatedly outside the house: "Brother Shen, brother Shen?" Didn't get up! As the saying goes, a spring night is worth a thousand gold—"

"Nonsense, what are the two big men doing Chunxiao!"

"Uh……"

The two people outside the door were arguing endlessly, when they suddenly heard a creak, the door in front of them was opened, but the cold-faced young man standing at the door looked even colder than yesterday, and swept his eyes like they were soaked in ice water. Coming over, the waiter suddenly shrugged his shoulders, and shut his mouth in a very sensible manner.

Xiang Qingqian laughed a few times, and in a blink of an eye, he put Chun Xiao behind him, reached out and knocked on the forehead of the waiter in the shop, squeezed in a few steps, and said loudly, "Brother Shen, are you awake?"

Shen Bailing lifted the quilt out of bed, straightened his clothes and said with a wry smile, "I'm awake now."

"Haha, it's good to wake up." Xiang Qing stepped in front of him, the smile on his face was narrow no matter how he looked, and he said deliberately with a bit of amused in his eyes, "Brother Shen tormented us yesterday really hard. …I didn’t expect you to drink so lightly, but brother Xiang was lucky enough to experience the rare ‘drinking after a thousand drinks’!”

Shen Bailing blushed slightly, squinted at him and said with a smile: "Master Xiang, don't make fun of me anymore." It was also his first time drinking with others yesterday. I was weak all over, and my mind was dizzy.

Xiang Qing laughed a few times, and then spared him, turned his head and glanced at the silent Murong Ziying again, and turned to the topic: "Yesterday, I wanted to practice it for you, but how could I think of the little one?" The bowl of wine made you stay for one more day. Anyway, today the eldest brother asked the third son to buy a table of good food, let's replace the wine with tea, have a delicious meal, and then send you out of town personally to the eldest brother, how about it?"

Shen Bailing shook his head slightly, and was about to decline politely, when he suddenly noticed a strong spiritual force galloping from the northwest direction, which seemed to be coming here, so he stopped talking immediately, and looked out the window with slightly raised brows.Murong Ziying was standing in front of the window, and he seemed to have sensed that aura, so he stretched out his hand and opened the window a foot.

Hearing a burst of buzzing, a ray of blue light flew in from the window at high speed, circled around the room and then rushed towards Murong Ziying, and stopped firmly in front of him, revealing a radiant brilliance.

"This, what kind of strange thing is this!" Xiang Qing was just an ordinary person, how could he know that this was the communication technique of the Immortal Daoist School, so he was dumbfounded and extremely surprised.

Shen Bailing focused his eyes on the thin strip of blue light, with a strange expression on his face, but suddenly fell silent.

Murong Ziying's eyes turned on Shen Bailing's body without any trace, and then she stretched out her hand to hold the light in her hand. As soon as the blue light touched his palm, it suddenly scattered into the air. Murong Ziying's palm turned over, but there was a white jade in the palm Carved small sword.

"Brother Murong, why...how did a ray of light fly in from outside the room, and it turned into a white stone in the blink of an eye? What kind of trick is this, so amazing?" Xiang Qing spoke first, his eyes full of curiosity. Staring at the jade sword in his palm, he felt itchy and wished he could hold it in his hand and examine it carefully.

Murong Ziying shook her head lightly, still glancing at the expression on Shen Bailing's face from the corner of her eyes, she said lightly: "This is just an ordinary spell used by my master to send messages, it's nothing." Frowning, his brows furrowed again, and he said in a deep voice, "The teacher in the door summoned me to return to the faction quickly, I'm afraid I have something important to ask... I'm afraid I can't delay any longer."

Xiang Qingzheng praised the supernatural powers of the immortal family's Taoism, and couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words.

Seeing this, Shen Bailing also took the opportunity to say to Xiang Qing: "Captain Xiang, I also have something important to do. If I don't accomplish it as soon as possible, I am really worried. There is always a banquet in the world, but there will be a reunion day. I see this farewell There is no need to eat any more banquets, and it will not be too late for me to invite the captain to drink again when we meet next time."

Hearing him say the same thing, Xiang Qing couldn't help feeling a little frustrated, but he had a bold nature, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, there is absolutely no reason to delay your affairs for my own happiness. Don't say anything, I I will send you to the post house!"

"Don't bother." Murong Ziying shook her head again and said, "The master's school is far away, I can walk with the sword."

"Then Brother Shen..." Xiang Qing glanced at Shen Bailing again, "Which sect are you going to?"

Shen Bailing was stunned for a moment, and replied: "I'm not going to Kunlun Mountains this trip, but Jiangdu City. It seems that I can't go with Ziying this time." There was a bit of regret in her smile.

Murong Ziying's eyes flickered slightly, she just nodded lightly, and said no more.

The three said their goodbyes outside Qinglong Town, Murong Ziying returned to Kunlun Mountain, and Shen Bailing was going to Jiangdu to find that strange man who was good at fortune-telling and divination.

In the Beiming Palace that day, Kun Jiutian had told Shen Bailing where the stranger lived in Jiangdu, but he also said with some hesitation that his old friend had a strange temperament, and when he was happy, he lived in a hut in the deep mountains and old forests for dozens of years. Years is also possible. If you are unhappy, it is common to change a residence in three days. Although the man praised Jiangdu's delicious food and wine in his speech when he went to visit a few years ago, but after a few years, it may be that he has already given up on moving. Tao went elsewhere.Therefore, the matter of tracing people is still somewhat uncertain.But even so, Jiangdu and his party are still imminent.

Fortunately, it took only one day for Yujian to travel a thousand miles, and Shen Bailing was already standing outside Jiangdu City a few days later.

Jiangdu City is the state capital of Yangzhou. It is known as the richest city in the world. There are tens of millions of merchants in the city, countless luxury mansions, and many magnificent scenery such as the Slender West Lake. It is really very prosperous and has added five points of beauty. It was very lively outside the door.

After a day's journey, Shen Bailing felt hungry, so he immediately went into the city to find a restaurant, ordered a few dishes hastily, and then walked upstairs.It was not time for dinner at this time, so the upstairs was empty, with only a few tables of guests sitting. When Shen Bailing went upstairs, he was thinking about finding that strange person, so he didn't look much. Seeing an empty table by the window, he went Walked over there.

Who would have thought that he suddenly heard a cry of surprise, and then a delicate person shouted behind him: "Brother Xuan Zhen?"

This "Xuan Zhen" sounded in his ears, as if it had been a lifetime ago, Shen Bailing was stunned for a moment, only feeling mixed feelings in his chest, Xuan Zhen, Xuan Zhen... How many years has it been, how many years has it been since anyone called this name?

He turned his head in a daze, but was greeted with a flowery smile. It turned out that the person who called him the name back then was actually a young woman.The woman was dressed in purple, her black hair was only casually coiled behind her head, and two thin braids fell from her shoulders. The two big watery eyes were smiling and staring at this side, and the pink lips were full of hints. Very smiling, a piece of hibiscus noodles is very charming and charming, showing a faint familiarity.

Shen Bailing turned his eyes on the woman's face a few times, his eyes widened suddenly, and he blurted out: "Zi Xuan?!"

That woman was exactly the little savage girl of the witch clan that he had met in southern Xinjiang more than ten years ago. In addition to today's beauty, it is even more charming.The two sat down at the table, and not long after, the waiter in the shop brought the food, but at this time Shen Bailing was in no mood to eat any more, looked at Zixuan across the way, and couldn't help laughing: "Zixuan can be considered grown up now." Big girl."

Zixuan smiled sweetly, stretched out her hand to gently stroke the braid hanging down her shoulders, and said, "Brother Xuanzhen hasn't changed at all."

Shen Bailing shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "Although his appearance hasn't changed much, but..." In his bones, his face has long since changed beyond recognition.After all, he didn't want to talk about the past, so he changed the topic after halfway through the conversation: "Zi Xuan, you were so bold when you left a book and left. Do you know how much I worried about you? Running outside alone Come and run, have you been bullied?"

Zixuan's eyebrows and eyes were even more crooked, and she said with a smile: "You said back then, 'It's a blessing that this pretty girl doesn't bully others, there is no reason for being bullied', why are you asking me this now? I am alone People are wandering in the rivers and lakes, free and unrestrained, and it is too late to be happy, so why should anyone worry?" Even so, she still spoke with gratitude, "But Zixuan walks around a lot outside, and her knowledge of people is not so sophisticated. No, there are really not many people in this world who are as good as brother Xuanzhen to a little girl who meets by chance...Brother Xuanzhen, in Zixuan's heart... thank you very much."

Shen Bailing smiled and said: "It seems that Zixuan has really grown up to be able to say such a thing. But..." He suddenly felt a little puzzled, "Why are you in Jiangdu, and no one from Nanjiang came to look for you back ?"

Zixuan smiled slightly, and answered after a while: "After seeing the bustling and lively Central Plains, what's the point of going back to southern Xinjiang? Anyway, I have written letters with the puppet mother-in-law in recent years. Nothing major has happened, and the Five Spirit Orbs are still missing, after all, I am a descendant of Nuwa, so I have to do my part for the tribes in southern Xinjiang..."

Only then did Shen Bailing understand that Zixuan had such a heavy responsibility on her shoulders when she wandered around outside: "Oh, it's really not easy for a girl like you to run around for the sake of your family... But don't just focus on finding the five spirit beads, girl You can't let Shaohua down easily, and find someone who can support each other earlier so that you can take her back to see your mother-in-law." There was a bit of a smile in the last words.

Zixuan blushed, but she didn't refute. Instead, she lowered her head and said softly after a while: "How do you know... I didn't find it?"

Shen Bailing was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly felt a strange feeling of "my family has a girl who is just growing up". She was tongue-tied for a long time before saying, "You little girl... Which family's son are you from?"

Zixuan looked away from the window, but there was a shy and bewildered expression on her beautiful face, she said quietly: "I only know his surname is Gu...he is from Jiangdu...I came to Jiangdu City this time , just want to find him. But this city is so big, and there are so many people coming and going, I really don't know when we will meet again..."

Seeing that the girl who was taken care of like a little sister is now in love, and she shows a shy expression when talking about other men, Shen Bailing only feels that the flower in her heart that has been so easy to care for and grow has been picked by an unknown bastard. Wei Wei's mood became stronger and stronger, and she calmed down for a long time before she opened her mouth and said, "You don't even know where his family lives, so how can you find him?"

Zixuan pursed her lips, showing a hint of stubbornness on her face: "I don't care. If we women in southern Xinjiang fall in love with a man, we will definitely not let him go easily. Since we already know that he is in Jiangdu, even if it takes a month, If I stay here for a year or a few years, I want to find him too!"

"Then what if he already has his own heart?" Shen Bailing frowned.

Zixuan trembled all over, and her face turned pale: "No, he won't like others... At that lantern festival, the way he looked at me, I would never be wrong... He treats me too... "

"Then why doesn't he take you home and tell you where he lives?" The more Shen Bailing asked, the more he felt weird. If the person surnamed Gu really liked Zixuan, why didn't he leave a message and parted with her? If not Deliberately deceiving Zixuan's sincerity, that is another reason, but this is not a good thing...

"I...I must find him. No matter what brother Xuanzhen says, I want to hear him tell me whether he likes me or not!" Zixuan said, stood up from her seat and rushed downstairs.

"Zi Xuan!"
