From then on, Shu Qingwan still went to the woods to wait for Ruan Lianyi every day. Although the two had agreed on a time, Shu Qingwan still had to go every day. When he couldn't wait, he would entertain himself alone. So I followed Ruan Lianyi to the bamboo forest in the back mountain of Dongyun Temple, and practiced sword dancing with her.

Over time, the relationship between the two has gradually become closer.

In her spare time, Ruan Lianyi would take Shu Qingwan to the city to go shopping in the market, and bought her some food and drink. After a few months, the two of them almost covered the entire area with a radius of tens of miles.

On this day, Liao Hui was still giving lectures at Dongyun Temple, while Liao Ming and Shu Qingwan accompanied Ruan Lianyi to practice swords in the yard.

Ruan Lianyi's current speed is much faster than before, but maybe it's because the speed is gradually increasing, several sets of sword techniques are practiced cross-practice, and individual moves occasionally change a bit bluntly.

After several moves, Ruan Lianyi was stuck in place, always feeling that the next move would not be smooth no matter how he took it.

She stood there scratching her forehead and thinking hard, but she heard Shu Qingwan, who was sitting on the stone bench reading Buddhist scriptures with Liao Ming, raised her head and said, "Lian Yi, do you think it's hard to take this move down? "

The old Shu Qingwan certainly wouldn't take the initiative to talk to Ruan Lianyi. The few words she said to Ruan Lianyi in the woods were all forced out by her after stumbling.

After getting acquainted with Ruan Lianyi and Liao Ming now, the cowardice and shyness of the past have faded a lot, and the whole person is more cheerful than before, and even occasionally the adults are not around, and they will take the initiative to chat with Liao Ming. God.

Such a change allowed Shu Qingwan to adapt to the world outside the villa more quickly, and gradually established a deep friendship with the other two.

Ruan Lianyi looked at the stone table Xunsheng, then peeked at the window of the room, scratched his head in embarrassment, and said softly: "Yes, I just practiced here, and I felt something was wrong, and then I forgot gone."

Shu Qingwan put down the Buddhist scriptures, thought for a moment and replied in a low voice: "You must have practiced the first two moves wrongly. Let me see while you practice again?"

Ruan Lianyi stood up and practiced again from the beginning to the end. Panting slightly, she swung the last move a few more times: "Is it wrong here? I just think it's not quite right here. "

"No, it's because you made mistakes in the previous two moves. You see, it's not like this here..." Shu Qingwan shook his head, and looked up at the window. Seeing that there were no adults around, he went Picking up the branch next to it, he drew a simple humanoid pose on the ground, and continued, "It's like this, you're wrong here, so you're wrong later."

Ruan Lianyi understood what Shu Qingwan meant, she stood up again, and followed what Shu Qingwan said just now, and danced from beginning to end. Unexpectedly, this time it was smooth and unimpeded, and it was much smoother than before.

Ruan Lianyi happily practiced again, and praised in a low voice while practicing: "Qingwan, you are really good, you can learn things so fast!"

Shu Qingwan didn't answer, just smiled shyly, picked up the Buddhist scriptures in his hand, and continued to read.

In the past few months of sparring, she not only memorized all the moves that Ruan Lianyi practiced, she even remembered the formulas of the moves clearly, but because she had no foundation in martial arts training and her body was thin and weak, she was required to really dance the sword. , is still very reluctant.

It's not that Ruan Lianyi has taught in private, and she once practiced hand gestures with her step by step in the woods, but her strength is weak, and she becomes exhausted after a few moves, which is completely contrary to her ability to climb mountains.

Just like Ruan Lianyi, she feels refreshed when she dances a sword, but when she is asked to climb a mountain, she suffers unspeakably.

Of course, it was all thanks to Ruan Lianyi that Shu Qingwan was able to sit on the stone bench and understand the Buddhist scriptures in his hand.

Shu Qingwan was fostered in a suburban village since she was a child, and there were rough nurses in the manor house. Few of them could read, let alone someone taught her to read and write, so a few months ago she When I met Ruan Lianyi, I didn't know a single word.

At the beginning, she accompanied Ruan Lianyi to practice swords in the bamboo garden. Most of the time she just sat on the stone bench and watched carefully, but a few times she saw Ming's scriptures hanging on the stone table to dry, and her eyes were attracted from time to time.

Although she couldn't understand the content above, there was still some unconcealable longing in her eyes.

The number of times is too many, of course it can't be hidden from Ruan Lianyi who stays with her all day long.

No matter how old a child is, he has fantasized in his bones when he is looked up to by others, just like some children like to imitate the teacher who is admired and respected in the college, and Ruan Lianyi is no exception. She has liked it since she was a child. Imitation of knights in the rivers and lakes to fight for justice.

There is such an opportunity in front of her now, and she certainly won't miss it.

So in her spare time, she enthusiastically taught others, pouring out the bits of knowledge she learned from Ruan Linyi to Shu Qingwan intermittently, and even stole a few copies of Ruan Linyi from home. poems.

Shu Qingwan's love for books has also gradually infected Ruan Lianyi. Occasionally, when she encounters poems that she can't explain, she will save them for Shu Qingwan. When she returns home, she will consult Ruan Linyi, and then pass them on to Shu Qing Night.

There were so many times that even Ruan Linyi began to praise Ruan Lianyi's academic progress and her dedication to her studies.

After Shu Qingwan learned some basic characters, when he came to Zhuyuan, he would ask Ming for some scriptures to pass the time, and when he encountered a word he didn't understand, he would humbly ask for advice. As time passed, he knew more and more characters.

But Liao Ming is only an eight-year-old child after all, and he knows only a limited number of words, so when the three of them are together, he often sees three little heads huddling together and chattering about something.

Of course, Ruan Lianyi and Liao Ming might not know most of the characters that Shu Qingwan didn't know.

So the three agreed in private that Shu Qingwan would guide Ruan Lianyi and Liao Ming to practice martial arts, and Liao Ming would help cover up. If they encountered words that the three of them didn't understand while reading, Ruan Lianyi would take the scriptures and go to the room to find them. Xuanqing asked for advice.

After a long time, Shu Qingwan has been able to understand a large scripture by herself. Although she still can't fully understand it, her study of Buddhism is more profound than that of Ruan Lianyi who started earlier. .

Liaoming spread the scriptures on the stone table, pointed to a sentence on it and asked, "Qingwan, what do you think this sentence means? It is like dew and electricity, so it should be viewed in this way, why should it be viewed in this way?"

Shu Qingwan put down the scripture in his hand, thought for a moment and said: "I read this sentence last time, it seems to tell people not to be attached to the illusion of things, not to be constrained by the appearance of things."

She continued with some embarrassment: "This is explained in the book, but I don't quite understand it."

When Ruan Lianyi heard the discussion between the two of them, he stopped practicing the sword and ran to the stone table to join in the fun: "What are you talking about? Let me see?"

Liao Ming pointed to the sentence in the book: "Lian Yi, Qing Wan and I don't understand this sentence, do you understand it?"

Ruan Lianyi naturally couldn't understand it. She wanted to worship Xuanqing as a master at first because of Xuanqing's martial arts. Although Xuanqing had a deep study of Buddhism, Ruan Lianyi was not influenced by it at all. .

Her hobbies have been different from Ruan Linyi's since she was a child. Although she also reads, she will never spend time delving into every word in the book.

Ruan Lianyi's forehead was dripping with sweat, and her little face was flushed with heat. She threw the wooden sword on the stone table, grabbed Ming's scriptures, and volunteered: "Then I'll take it and ask Master, Are you two going?"

Although Shu Qingwan is much more cheerful now, it is only when the adults are not around, and she still has some fear in her heart if she is asked to face the eminent monk in the room.

Although she also wanted to know the meaning of this sentence in the book, the fear in her heart obviously overwhelmed her poor courage.

All her thoughts fell into Ruan Lianyi's eyes. Ruan Lianyi didn't wait for her answer, but carelessly grabbed her arm, and before she was ready, she took a few steps Climbing up the steps, he opened his mouth and called out: "Master, Master, are you awake?"

Although Ruan Lianyi asked this question, she didn't stop for a moment. As soon as she finished asking, she actually dragged Shu Qingwan into the room, followed by Xiao Xiao who had just climbed the steps. bright.

Ruan Lianyi ran in front of Xuanqing, and seeing Xuanqing sitting cross-legged on the bed without answering, she stepped forward and tilted her head and asked, "Master? Are you asleep?"

Xuan Qing opened his eyes helplessly, and reprimanded with a light smile: "You are so noisy, how can I sleep as a teacher?"

Ruan Lianyi smiled shyly, then raised her arms, and handed the scriptures in front of Xuanqing: "Master, I just realized what Brother Ming asked me to mean, and I don't quite understand it. Confused."

Xuan Qing did not take Ruan Lianyi's book, but looked past Ruan Lianyi, looking at Shu Qingwan behind her who lowered his head, and he said gently: "Qingwan, how do you think this sentence should be understood?"

Shu Qingwan didn't expect Xuan Qing to ask her suddenly, she froze for a moment, then hesitated to speak out.

On the contrary, Ruan Lianyi saw her shrunk so much, walked up to her and encouraged her: "Qingwan, didn't you just tell Senior Brother Ming well? Just tell Master again."

Shu Qingwan's palms were sweating nervously, she paused for a moment, and finally raised her head timidly: "I think it means that everything in this world is changing...changing a lot, let's not... ...don't cling to the appearance of things..."

Xuan Qing nodded, with a kind smile on the corner of his mouth: "And then?"

"Don't be constrained by the shape of everything in the world..." Although Shu Qingwan boldly replied again, his voice was defeated before reaching the end of the sentence.

The voice fell, and the surrounding was silent, so quiet that it seemed that the rustling of bamboo leaves outside the window had already come in.

Shu Qingwan didn't wait for Xuan Qing's answer, she lowered her head nervously, wishing she could find a hole to get in.

Time seems to have passed for a long time, but it seems that it only skipped a few seconds before hearing Xuan Qing's faint voice: "Qing Wan is right."

Shu Qingwan raised his head in surprise, and heard Xuan Qing continue: "Everything in this world is born because of a word of fate. When fate gathers, it comes into existence, and when fate separates, it disappears. Everything is often changing, making people unpredictable. Thoroughly, if you pay attention to it, you will be bound by the thorns in the world, but you must learn to look down on it, and achieve a state of no contamination, and you will not be bound by the real thing."

"This is what the teacher said, do you understand?"

Xuan Qing's words were quite plain, the three villains in front of him nodded like smashing garlic, and even Ruan Lianyi, who usually didn't care about Buddhism the most, nodded several times in a daze, and even turned back. "Thank you, Master."

Just when the three of them were about to leave the room, Xuanqing suddenly said again: "Qingwan, how did you see that Lianyi's moves were wrong?"

"Did you remember the moves that Lianyi practiced?"

Xuan Qing's tone was gentle, without much emotional ups and downs, but Shu Qingwan's calf trembled in fright, as if someone had found out that he had done something wrong, and lowered his head even lower: "I'm sorry, I... ....I did not do it on purpose......"

Ruan Lianyi was also taken away by Shu Qingwan's emotions, looking at Xuan Qing's calm eyes, her heart was in her throat, she blocked Shu Qingwan behind her, and stretched out her hand to defend: "Master, that ...Well, I can't blame Qingwan for this matter, it's me... I can't remember it all the time, so I asked Qingwan to help me remember it."

"And in the evening, she, she can't practice..."

Ruan Lianyi was excited for a moment, and didn't know what she said. When she remembered to cover her mouth, Xuanqing had already heard the mystery in that sentence: "Oh? She can't practice? Why can't she practice?" Now, why don't you tell me?"

Ruan Lianyi knew that she had slipped her tongue, so she blushed and recklessly went all out: "It's me...I took her to the woods for an interview before, her wrist is not strong enough, she can't practice the sword of."

Xuan Qing's expression couldn't be seen fluctuating, but there was a vague smile on the corner of his mouth: "So that's the case, so she also remembers the formula?"

Ruan Lianyi took a small step back with a guilty conscience, tightly protected Shu Qingwan, and stammered: "Nor...not...I didn't remember much... ..”

After getting along for such a long time, Ruan Lianyi was accompanied by Shu Qingwan almost every time she practiced sword. My heart is as clear as a mirror.

But she knew it was hers to know, but she didn't dare to let Xuan Qing know. She had approached Xuan Qing privately before, hoping that Xuan Qing could also accept Shu Qingwan as a disciple, but Xuan Qing refused.

Now that Shu Qingwan is an uninitiated disciple, Ruan Lianyi has already let her learn everything she should and should not learn.

Especially with Xuanqing's reclusive identity, their behavior can be regarded as breaking the taboo.
