Cinderella: The Legend of Yunhua

After learning "Nine Feathers Neon Clothes Song", Bi Yao carefully asked about Lian Que's daily learning, and he was shocked when he said that Mo Yunhua had given him a sword manual and wanted to teach him how to learn swordsmanship, "Are you Say Junior Brother Mo?"

"Well, but he came back after he left three years ago, maybe he's disappointed." Mentioning this matter, Lian Que couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Baguio laughed, "That's because Junior Brother Mo went back to the mountains to retreat and conceive a baby. Where would he have time to come and see you?"

"Really? Auntie?" Lian Que Wenzhi's eyes sparkled.

Baguio saw that he was so childlike, like a child who got sugar, patted him, and said, "Don't be so childish, most people who conceive babies and retreat for three to five years, I can still scare you."

After Lian Que got the letter, he suddenly had the feeling of seeing the moon through the clouds and mists, and he couldn't help but feel happy.

Bi Yao said, "Junior Brother Mo is a bit cold-tempered, probably because you helped him when he practiced the piano that year, and wanted to repay you, but you didn't want to say more, so I gave you a sword manual."

"Auntie, if I have the opportunity to enter the inner sect and worship Mo Zhenjun as my teacher, would you agree?" Lian Que had been brewing these words for a long time, and he could only say them when he was with Bi Yao.

"I think it's a bit difficult. Brother Mo is lonely and doesn't like to be disturbed. When Jindan was first established, someone wanted to worship him as a teacher, but he refused. After that, the Shangqingmen held three consecutive internal competitions. Although he participated But he never mentioned the matter of accepting disciples, and said bluntly that he is used to being quiet and does not need the company of others."

"Is that so?" Lian Que murmured.

Baguio smiled and comforted, "There are a lot of brothers and sisters who are well-cultivated in the sect. It is not difficult to find a good master. In addition, there are also many Yuanying Zhenjun who intend to train newcomers every time there is a big competition. Just take a look. , Junior Brother Mo, don't think deeply about it here."

"Well, I can save it, aunt, Master Wen even said that he would accept me."

"Really, that's great. Brother Wen is a monk with a single tree spirit root just like you. He is in the late stage of Jindan and has extraordinary aptitude. He is destined to conceive a baby in the near future. It would be a good thing if you get his favor. And he hasn't accepted it yet." Disciple, if you go, you will be the first disciple, and naturally treat you well." Baguio was very happy.

Lian Que was very strange, "Hasn't Master Wen ever accepted disciples?"

"Well, it's all about the past, you don't need to know."

Afterwards, the two had some conversations, and Lian Que introduced Zhu Zhiling over.Zhu Zhiling was dressed like a man, and his words were bold, which made Baguio very happy.

The three of them got together for a while before Baguio reluctantly left.

After Baguio left, Zhu Zhiling didn't linger too long, there was not much time left before the competition, so she didn't dare to slack off.

After everyone is gone, Lian Que plays with Yaoqin again.He just forcibly memorized the various essentials in "The Song of Nine Feathers" and didn't comprehend much.Now he is the only one left, so he plucks each sentence lightly, carefully trying to figure out the artistic conception of the song.His mind was immersed in the music, and he didn't feel the time flow away from his fingertips at all. In a flash, the jade toad had hung on the treetop.He suddenly realized something subtle, so he tried to release a little real energy into his fingertips, only to see a white awn on the fingertips, and the spiritual power rippled with the sound waves, like waves in the water, and the waves were shining .Time and space are elongated and slowed down by the coercion released in "Nine Feathers Neon Clothes Song". Yuntao petals are supported in the air by a thrust, and it is not until Lian Que catches the sound that they slowly fall down, as if falling into the sky. A rain of flowers, very beautiful.

There was a man standing in mid-air outside the gate of the courtyard, watching the scene quietly, trying to understand the artistic conception of the song following the rhyme, only to feel that this song is rich in connotation, even more magical than those ancient famous songs collected in the door.

That's all, the man came back to his senses and saw Lian Que who was still playing the piano in the courtyard. He hadn't seen him for more than three years. He had already transformed from that handsome young man into a handsome and unparalleled young man. .

The man pressed the cloud head and said in a low voice, "I have made a lot of progress in the past few years, and I still need to work hard in the future."

A clear voice pierced the night sky, and Lian Que raised his head in surprise, "Mo... Zhenjun, are you here?"

Mo Yunhua nodded, walked slowly to Lian Que and sat down, plucked the strings according to the memory just now, and the faint sound poured out like a cup of water, resonating with the moonlight.

Lian Que stared blankly at the white and slender hands of the man sitting beside him plucking the strings smoothly, and thought to himself, Mo Zhenjun is really a genius, he can understand it just by listening.

"What's the name of this song?" Mo Yunhua asked lightly.

"Hui Zhenjun, it's called "Nine Feathers Neon Clothes Song"."

Lian Que looked at Mo Yunhua, but he hadn't seen him for three years. After giving birth, Mo Yunhua was even more serious than before, with calm eyes, high aura, and aura like a god.Thinking of himself again, Lian Que secretly lamented the difference between the two, Mo Zhenjun has now cultivated a half-celestial body, with a lifespan of two thousand years, while his own lifespan can be over a hundred, and his mortal body is just one.He recalled the teaching of Liu Yun in Guixu Sea that day, that his mere lifespan in Mo Yunhua was just a moment in the world of mortals, like a white horse passing through the gap, it disappeared in a blink of an eye.He thought to himself, "It's such a big difference, what's the point even if I sincerely communicate with it?" He thought like this, and for some reason, there was a trace of sadness in his heart.

Mo Yunhua saw that the young man looked uncomfortable, and said, "Your mood is unstable, and the influence of this song has greatly disturbed your mind. You should sit in meditation first."

Lian Que hurriedly sat down cross-legged, that's right, this song touched the soul quite a lot, it must be because he didn't keep his mind when he played it and was backlashed to get such emotions, let's stabilize his mood first.

As time passed by, his mind gradually calmed down and returned to silence, and his ears were filled with the long and distant song "Jing You Si".Is Mo Zhenjun trying to calm my nerves?Lian Que thought quietly, his heart warmed up, and he opened his eyes, "Thank you Zhenjun, I'm probably fine."

Mo Yunhua stopped, and replied lightly, "That's good. Your cultivation base is shallow, remember to keep your mind at all times when playing the piano, if you are unable to hold on, and inject a piece of true energy into the Buddha Heart Wood on your neck , can also help you protect one or two."

"Thank you for the reminder." Lian Que thanked again.

Mo Yunhua nodded and turned his hands away, "How is the sword practice?"

"Unbelievable vulgarity, I'm going to disappoint Zhenjun again." Lian Que looked slightly embarrassed. Although he practiced hard for the past three years, he didn't dare to stop, but he knew that Mo Yunhua was strict, so he felt that Mo Yunhua would not satisfy.

"Come out and see."

"Ah."

Lian Que then took out the paulownia stick that he had practiced on the day of the deadline, and used the nine-stroke sword style that he swung a thousand times a day without pulling a single stroke. A strong cold wind carved traces on the courtyard wall.

Mo Yunhua saw that he could form sword energy in less than four years of practice, and knew that he must have studied hard and practiced hard on weekdays, so his face softened a little, and he said, "It's not bad, but I still need to work hard, my posture is a little unstable, and my spiritual power is still there It will be blocked in the body and cannot be fully exerted."

"Understood, I will pay more attention to the practice in the future." Lian Que then secretly said in his heart that he still needs to figure out more about the body image in the jade slips in the future, so he doesn't have to be so embarrassed when he sees Zhenjun Mo next time.

Mo Yunhua didn't know about Lian Que's petty calculations, so he pulled out the piece of paulownia wood in Lian Que's hand, and a little white glow appeared on his fingertips.The white glow wrapped around the paulownia wood, and after a while, the paulownia wood condensed into a wooden sword, "Paulownia wood is hard, and it can be made into a wooden sword, and you are a wood spirit root, so you should be able to use its strengths .It won’t be too late to find a good sword after Zhuji goes out to practice in the future.”

Holding Mo Yunhua's condensed wooden sword, Lian Que was overjoyed, "I will repay the favor of the sword later."

"It's a little effort, don't worry about it, I'm going." After speaking, Mo Yunhua left as usual without waiting for Lian Que to say goodbye.

Since Lian Que obtained this paulownia sword that night, he has practiced more diligently than before.

……

The rotation of the sun and the moon is another year, and Lian Que has made some progress this year. When swinging the sword, his posture is steady, and the aura is unimpeded with the sword energy.

Zhu Zhiling came to look for him in the courtyard, and told him that he had completed Qi refining and planned to attack the foundation building when the time was right.

Lian Que was happy for her for a while, Zhu Zhiling's three spiritual roots are very rare among the monks with double spiritual roots and many single spiritual roots everywhere.If she hadn't been determined and worked hard, how could she have achieved today's results, and then said, "Zingling, congratulations first, you are finally going to enter the foundation building."

Zhu Zhiling was not so happy, "It's not that easy. Eight out of ten monks who have perfected their Qi refining cannot succeed in building a foundation. Let’s just listen to him saying that it’s best to succeed in building a foundation once. If it fails for the first time, the spiritual energy used to condense the primordial fluid in Dantian Qihai will be lost, and it will take several times to make up for it. If you succeed in building a foundation, it’s easy to have a knot in your heart, and when you make another attack, you’ll be timid, leading to failure. Therefore, it’s best to be fully prepared to do the foundation building again.”

Lian Que took it for granted, and said, "Elder Yang is right, there are still seven years left, so don't be too impatient, lest you spoil the big thing."

Zhu Zhiling nodded and said, "I save it. Cultivation is a matter of course, and you can't advance rashly. Paying attention to the root and source is the root of practice. However, I am a monk with three spiritual roots. The spiritual energy I breathe and absorb is too messy on weekdays. There are a lot of impurities inside. Before building the foundation, the first thing to do is to get rid of the impurities in the meridians, and then run the true essence to gather the spiritual energy in the dantian and compress it, turning it into essence liquid drop by drop. According to the anecdote about foundation establishment, most people fail when attacking foundation establishment because they are anxious to condense into primordial liquid because they have not cleared all the impurities in their bodies, and finally fail because of poor follow-up. If you have a single spiritual root aptitude like you, There are very few impurities, so you won't be as troublesome as me." After speaking, Zhu Zhiling showed a helpless look in front of people for the first time.

Lian Que has never seen Zhu Zhiling like this before. She usually has a high heart and is decisive in doing things. She is not at all coy and indecisive like ordinary women, but now she is a lot troubled by this matter, which makes Lian Que feel unbearable, so she comforted: "Zing Ling, don't worry too much. I also heard Aunt Bi Yao talk about foundation building. There are also many people with three spiritual roots, even four spiritual roots, and mixed spiritual roots who have successfully established foundations. Hard work pays off, from now on you will focus on eliminating impurities in your body, and when it's almost the same, it's okay to think about building the foundation."

"I've thought about this too, but it's not easy to get rid of impurities just by exhaling. My spiritual root is mixed, and many impurities will be brought in from the outside world during breathing and exhaling. It will take a long time to clean it up. Things have happened, I’m afraid I’m powerless.”

"What are you going to do?"

"There is a kind of elixir called Zhuji Dan, which is specially used to remove impurities in the body and help people break through the foundation." Speaking of this, Zhu Zhiling's color changed, and his eyes shone brightly.

Lian Que frowned and said, "I heard Master Wen talk about this pill. It's just that disciples with double spiritual roots and single spiritual roots in my school don't need this pill, and no one in the school specializes in refining this kind of medicine. Where do you plan to come from?" Get along?"

"Naturally, I should go to the market outside the gate to look for it first. I might be able to find it if I pay some money. If not, I will go find the spirit grass for refining the foundation pill, and ask an alchemist to help me refine it." Yes." Zhu Zhiling said.

"That's fine, when are you going out? If there is anything that needs help, let me know, and I'll keep an eye on it for you."

Zhu Zhiling patted his friend on the shoulder, "I'm going down the mountain tomorrow, so you don't have to worry about me all the time. You need to hurry up and build a foundation before the big competition. Once I get this pill, I'll come back immediately."

"I'll save it." Lian Que looked at this friend who had been with him for 11 years, and felt very reluctant, knowing that she had a long way to go, "Be careful when you go out, so you can take care of yourself."

Zhu Zhiling said happily, "I know, you don't have to see each other off tomorrow, just take care of yourself."

"Since we want to part, let's not be so sad and sad. I still have two jars of wine here, let's speak for it." After finishing speaking, Lian Que took out two jars of wine and gave one to his friend in front of him.

The two picked up the wine jar and drank together, but they didn't know when they finished drinking and when they got drunk.

At dawn on the second day, there was only Lian Que left under the peach blossom tree, and Zhu Zhiling had quietly left at some point.
