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

Seeing Zixuan's figure drifting past the stairs like a purple cloud, and the wooden stair boards drifting away with a bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang on the stairs Wrapped in her body, she floated into the sky like the wind, and when he rushed out of the gate and looked up to look for her, Wanli Blue Sky had already lost sight of her whereabouts.

The passersby on the road and the idlers in the restaurant were all terrified when they saw such a strange thing, and seeing that Shen Bailing seemed to know the purple-clothed woman who didn't know whether she was a demon or a fairy, they inevitably whispered and pointed at each other.When Shen Bailing looked away from the sky, seeing the strange expressions on the faces of those people, he couldn't help frowning, threw a piece of silver into the second-hand shop, and left in a hurry.

After walking a few streets, his walking gradually slowed down, and his worries gradually increased.I thought that the little girl Zixuan seemed to have improved over the years, but unexpectedly her temperament has not changed at all, and she ran out without knowing where she went after a word of disagreement, her willful and stubbornness is even better than when she was young!Now she patted her buttocks and walked away happily, leaving Shen Bailing in the city, so worried, he thought about it, and thought that since Zixuan had a soft spot for the young man surnamed Gu, he would be reluctant to leave Jiangdu, but Jiangdu is so big. However, if she deliberately wants to hide from me, it is not easy to find her, not to mention that I have important things to do, so how can I have so much time to play hide-and-seek with her?

After thinking for a long time with a sad face, Shen Bailing sighed, that's all, everyone has their own destiny, Zixuan will definitely meet and stay with Mr. Gu, and she is just a big brother that the little girl knew when she was young. How can I persuade her?Even this little girl was deceived, after all, she is a descendant of Nuwa, and she has the poisonous art of southern borders. If you think about it, Mr. Gu won't be able to embarrass her. At most, she will feel uncomfortable for a few days, and it will gradually heal. If I forcefully stop her at this time, maybe it will be counterproductive, forcing Zixuan to be more devoted to Mr. Gu, and it will be bad if the love is deeply rooted and hard to let go.

Thinking about it this way, Shen Bailing felt that he had already convinced himself, and thought: Anyway, I still have to stay in Jiangdu for a few days, so it's better to let go first, and go to Zixuan after finding that stranger.While thinking about it, he looked up and debated the way, only to realize that he came to an alley along the street, and an old woman happened to come out of it with a vegetable basket on her shoulders. He hurriedly stopped and asked, "Old lady, is there a girl named Xiliu near here?" Alley?"

Xiliu Lane is the residence of the foreigner who can tell divination told by Kun Jiutian in Jiangdu. Hearing his polite question, the old woman pointed to the south of the side street with a smile and said: "Not far, not far. Go ahead Go, there is a willow tree at the entrance of the alley."

Shen Bailing immediately thanked the old woman and walked forward. Sure enough, within a short while, he saw an alley, a green willow tree stood in a pavilion at the entrance of the alley, and thousands of green silk ribbons swayed gently in the breeze, which was very moving.He immediately walked around the willow tree and entered the alley, but the alley was winding and narrow, with rough brick walls on both sides covered with mottled moss marks, and the dirt road under his feet was even more potholed and full of sewage. Stepped on the muddy feet.Shen Bailing walked forward with one foot high and one foot low, secretly wondering: Did Senior Kun remember the wrong place, how could that person live in such a dirty place?

Not long after, the alley came to the end, and behind a pot of dead roses was a small wooden door.Shen Bailing went forward to knock on the door lightly, who knew that the wooden door slid open with a creak, revealing a piece of greenery inside the door.

Shen Bailing stood dumbfounded under the bright sun outside the door, staring at the faint silver light inside the door. What he saw along the way was clearly alleys and poor dwellings. A forest with dozens of acres to say the least is simply unbelievable.Seeing the pine forest like waves, with layers of emerald colors, suddenly a coolness seeps out from the crack of the door, with the faint rustling sound of pine needles, full of unreal sense of tranquility.

It really is here.

Shen Bailing sighed secretly: Even if the master is alive, he can't cast such a grand illusion by himself?After thinking about it, he stopped hesitating and stepped across the threshold.With a squeak, the wooden door closed gently behind him, and the sunlight was immediately covered, leaving only the dreamlike moonlight in front of his eyes.

In the pine forest, the fine grass is luxuriant, and a small path can be faintly seen winding forward.Shen Bailing looked back at the courtyard wall, only to see the mottled brick wall extending to both sides, disappearing behind several old pines, feeling even more deeply in his heart that the magic power of the fairy family is infinite, so he turned his head and walked towards the forest.

After walking along the path for an unknown amount of time, Shen Bailing suddenly felt that his feet were stiff, but when he looked down, he stepped on a bluestone. After walking a few steps, there was another bluestone in the grass, and after a while, a stone path gradually formed.After walking along the stone road for a while, the pine forest gradually thinned out, but the sound of lingling water could be heard. After passing around several green pine trees lined up side by side, the eyes suddenly opened up, and then I saw a stream of crystal lights running across the front from east to west. And pass.

I don't know if the jade plate on the top of the head is an illusion or it is real. It fell into the flowing stream and shattered into a piece of silver light. In the sparkling light, you can still see the colorful round stones at the bottom of the water. There is a slight breeze in the pine forest behind you. The rustling pine sound was intermingled with the sound of lingling water, and there was a sense of tranquility in the agility. Shen Bailing's eyes jumped over the stream and landed on the corner of the eaves exposed behind the pine tree, and secretly had a glimmer of expectation in his heart: to be able to open up such a beautiful place in the market. , it seems that in addition to his superb Taoism and divination skills, that person is also an expert who understands the joys of life...

He quickened his pace, crossed the stream lightly, turned around the old pine in a few steps and arrived in front of the house.There are only three huts behind the pine tree. The walls, doors and windows are all made of pine wood. The bark on the walls has not even peeled off. There are a few pine cones embedded in the pine needles, and the moonlight sprinkled on the roof seems to be covered with a layer of frost, which looks more natural.

Shen Bailing walked to the door and knocked three times, then knocked three times after a pause, but no one opened the door.He raised his voice and said: "Junior Shen Bailing, I have something to ask to see the senior. If the senior is in the room, please see me."

After a while, there was still no answer.Shen Bailing frowned, and thought: Could it be that the senior really abandoned this place and went elsewhere?Hesitating for a while, he reached forward and pushed, and the door opened gently just like before in front of the courtyard.

The room was dark, and only some shadows could be seen vaguely. Shen Bailing stepped into the door and took a few steps. In the darkness, he touched a table. The collision of the flint rubbed off a few sparks and fell on the candle head, and gradually a little flame slowly lit up, casting a soft yellow shadow in the room.

Only then did Shen Bailing see clearly that the wooden house was divided into two rooms, the inside and the outside. Although the outside room he was in was not very spacious, it was very neatly arranged. The floor covered with bluestone square bricks was cleaned spotlessly, and the tables and chairs were collapsed. It was clean and there were few furnishings in the room, just a low couch under the window, a white jade vase on a small table next to it, and a few budding red plums in the vase, a wooden chair in front of the table on the other side, and a white jade bottle on the table. There were brushes, ink, paper and inkstones, and there were a few calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall directly opposite the square table. Shen Bailing took a closer look, and felt that the calligraphy was wanton, and the freehand brushstrokes on the paintings also showed a bit of chic.If he didn't know that this place is the residence of an expert, just looking at this room, he might still think that he came to the study of a scholar.

There was no one outside, and the inside was silent. Although Shen Bailing wanted to enter the inner room to take a look, he felt that it was impolite for the master to trespass like this when he was not there. He was hesitating when he suddenly heard a banging sound from inside, like a knock on the door. Voice.He thought it was funny, he clearly came in from the outside, how could he hear knocking on the door from the inner room instead, could it be that there was a door opened in the inner room?Unexpectedly, a person was heard shouting loudly: "Old man, old man, are you at home?"

Just now, he walked through the forest all the way, and saw the black hole in the house with his own eyes. Hearing people's voices at the moment, Shen Bailing was quite shocked, so he hurriedly took the oil lamp and rushed into the room, and he couldn't help being shocked again.It turns out that the layout of the so-called inner room is exactly the same as that of the outer room. Not only are the collapsed tables and chairs exactly the same as what I saw just now, but what is even more strange is that there is also a door opened in this room, and the location is the same as the one I stepped into when I entered the outer room. There was no deviation from the door, only facing the opposite of the outer room, as if he had just passed through a mirror and walked into the world inside the mirror from outside the mirror.

It was only after his heartbeat calmed down slightly that Shen Bailing realized something was wrong.Just now when he was in the outside room, he only felt the surroundings were quiet, he didn't even hear the chirping of birds and insects, but as soon as he stepped into the room, many voices suddenly entered his ears, it was noisy and chaotic, just like being in a busy city.Looking at the doors and windows again, my heart skipped a beat. It turned out that when I was outside, the windows and doors were full of moonlight just now, but the sunlight seeping through the cracks in the doors and windows in the inside is clearly!

Just as he was in doubt, he suddenly heard the person outside the door slapping again. Shen Bailing listened carefully, only to hear the person shout: "Old man, old man, please open the door if you are inside. I am Qing Ming, the young master asked me to bring you some food, including your favorite raw fish, and a bowl of broken gold rice, which was cooked by Chef Liu in our house, you smell it, it is delicious!" said Then he reported the names of several dishes one after another, all of which were vaguely Jiangdu's specialty dishes.At the end the man said again: "Old man, the dishes this time are really rich, you old man, don't pretend to be absent and refuse to answer, our young master sincerely invites you to teach us again!"

Shen Bailing couldn't help but laugh when he heard it, but what the person outside said was interesting, it seemed that the owner of the house usually liked to hide in the house and ignore people, and he would only let people in if he was lured by delicious food.But after thinking about it, isn't the person Senior Kun described just really addicted to food?

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt the back of his hand burn, but it turned out that the candle burned to the head inadvertently, and a few drops of wax oil fell down in strings. He couldn't help shaking his fingers, and with a bang, the candlestick fell to the floor .

The person outside the door just heard it, laughed and slammed the door again: "Old man, you can't fool me this time! I heard you inside, please hurry up and open the door!"
