Chapter 19 Cangshan Flowing Water Explores the Shallowness and Depth
Xiaocangfeng is located on the north side of Xuanwu Peak, different from Xuanwu Peak majestic and magnificent, if Xuanwu Peak is like a famous general in the world, majestic shore, Xiaocangfeng is like a chivalrous beauty, beautiful but not heroic. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's not summer yet, but it's already getting a little hot in the air. However, yesterday it rained overnight, dispelling a bit of stuffiness, and the grass and trees on the mountain rushed to stretch their branches and leaves, looking green. Today, the white clouds in the sky are layered, the blue sky is white and the white clouds are interspersed, and there is a gentle breeze, but it is a rare day.
Zhou Zi'an was born in the Yunhe Zhou clan, and traveled very widely, before entering the inner door, there were several disciples who were familiar with each other, and this time after the first entrance to the big exam, he made a lot of disciples.
Zhou Zi'an is dashing, there is no positive shape on weekdays, the Yunhe Zhou clan is located in the west of Chu State, and the people in that area pay attention to "smoke and clouds, water and air, and self-appreciation", and the men are handsome and handsome, and there are some wandering wreckage.
However, at this time, Zhou Zi'an put his hand on the pillow, leaned on the couch, and held the cup with his other hand and dipped his lips but put it down, and there seemed to be some doubts between his eyebrows.
The party is set on the mountainside of Xiaocang Mountain, under the peak, along a bending flowing water to attend the banquet, imitating the rumored "winding water flowing" when the ancients went out on a spring day. Xiaocangfeng is already relatively cool, and the winding water is even more pleasant.
There were already more than a dozen people at the table, all of whom were personal disciples.
The disciples of the Cunweishan Sect are accustomed to distinguishing their identities by the color of their clothing, such as the outer disciples are more ochre, the registered disciples are more dark, the personal disciples are light purple or white, the true fax people are dark purple, and the first and other elders are all silver.
Today, everyone is not wearing formal clothes, only wearing identity jade around their waists, arms or accessories, but everyone is dressed in light purple color, and they form a scene in the green mountains and green waters.
The banquet was lit with a curling fragrance, accompanied by clouds that drifted from time to time, and everyone seemed to be drinking and having fun on the nine heavens.
When Shao Heng entered the table in a white shirt and purple yarn, the eyes of several people present lit up: what a handsome and dignified junior brother. I saw that he was slender, with his back pulled and shoulders open, his body standing upright like a pine, his face was radiant, his eyebrows were straight, and the smile at the corner of his mouth was like the warm sun of autumn and winter.
"Senior brothers, junior brother is late!" Shao Heng said apologetically to the people present.
When Zhou Zi'an saw him arrive, he immediately beckoned him to sit next to him.
Since the banquet was set up along the curved water, the location was mostly arbitrary, and after Shao Heng sat down, he looked around and found that there were a few people who were not strangers. The person sitting upstream is Lu Ji who has seen him before, and at this moment he has the most seniority at the table, and the rest of Lu Binhai, Si Jianbi, Gai Wenhan, and Lu Yuanji are all people who entered the inner door with him, and on the other side of Qushui, there are also four or five senior sisters seated, among which Ning Qingyun and Zeng Youer are also known to him.
The rest of the people were all face-to-face, and he had never seen them, so Zhou Zi'an immediately introduced them to him one by one.
Most of them showed kindness, and some even raised their glasses to Shao Heng on the spot, but a few people had a hint of different colors in their smiles after hearing his name, and even a few senior sisters on the female side's expressions changed slightly.
Although Shao Heng noticed that everyone was different, he was suspicious in his heart, he didn't show it at all, he didn't even move his eyebrows, and he calmly communicated with Zhou Zi'an about their recent situation. When others saw that he was quiet, with an extraordinary bearing and a good relationship with the Zhou family, they all pressed their thoughts.
"Senior Brother Shao is really talented, and he has not had the skill of Pei Yuan Dan, and now it is already in the period of qi cultivation, so I would like to congratulate you again for my brother. Lu Ji was naturally handsome, and there was always a bit of naughtiness in his smile, and he suddenly opened his mouth to congratulate Shao Heng.
Shao Heng smiled and returned a glass of wine brewed by Lingquan, which was sweet and pure, refreshing, not only containing a little vitality, but also a good summer drink.
Shao Heng chatted with Zhou Zi'an while quietly looking at the rest of the people.
Lu Ji used "also" when congratulating him, and sure enough, Zhou Zi'an and Ning Qingyun needless to say, Si Jianbi and Gai Wenhan have also broken through to the Qi cultivation period like themselves. At the beginning, Taihao Zhenren specially put himself in retreat for more than a month, also to blur when he broke through, or to make people think that he had received the elixir given by Taihao Zhenren, so as not to cause unnecessary disputes.
Thinking about this, when others tried to see how Shao Heng broke through, he only thanked the master for his teachings with a smile on his face, and others thought that he had the help of Taihao Zhenren.
Although Zhou Zi'an said that this was a small gathering, the banquet was full of medicinal vegetables and melons, immortal delicacies, and exotic fruits and plants, although Shao Heng had never seen them, but in the end, he was the son of the prince and grandson, and he was not uncomfortable with this extravagance. However, he was only familiar with Zhou Zi'an at the table, and he also had the heart to observe the rest of the people, so he seemed to be a little silent.
Ning Qingyun retracted her gaze, lowered her eyelids slightly, her long beautiful eyelashes fluttered slightly like butterfly wings, and she felt a little more lost for no reason. She has a unique complexion, and even if she treats people coldly and unkindly since she entered the mountain, she still walks on the road like the stars holding the moon. She has been practicing in the mountains for a few years, and the evil aura between her eyebrows has lightened a little, adding to the cold and glamorous vulgarity, such as cold plum and proud snow. Today's gathering, she has always ignored it, even if it was invited by her senior sister, she didn't plan to come.
I just heard that the man was invited, and I somehow remembered his rescue in the magma that day, and the ghost and god sent him to agree. Ning Qingyun recalled that day after he slapped him, the other party was slightly surprised, and then he ignored him, and he never showed any resentment afterwards. She thought that her already cold and hard heart was a little loose, Ning Qingyun raised her eyebrows, raised the jade cup and drank it all: even if she did it again, she would still hit that palm at that time, otherwise with her identity without any background, how could she gain a foothold in the inner gate? How to get the attention of the master? For example, although Zeng You'er has also entered the master's door, but has not yet received the elixir from the master, how can she reach the qi cultivation period one step ahead of others? That person's cultivation is the best in the world, and he is the young lady...... No...... Xiao Yu has already surpassed himself a lot, if he doesn't actively fight for it, what year and month will he have to wait until the blood and sea of hatred?
It's just that why is there a little lost in my heart?
In her ears, Senior Sister Wang was sad again: "Senior Brother Shen...... It's so pathetic......"
Pitiful? Ning Qingyun laughed in her heart, how could that person have a relationship with the word "pitiful". These senior sisters were full of eyes and there was only one "Senior Brother Shen", she thought of the past from Qi State, although Shen Yuanxi seemed polite to herself, but in fact she was alienated, she knew that this person was extremely strong-willed. However, at that time, Shao Heng also treated her like others, and was not as attentive as Yang Hui, Fang Shaobai and others.
Thinking of this, Ning Qingyun was slightly distracted, and she didn't hear what the gossip exchanges between the senior sisters next to her were talking about.
In the bending stream, the feather buds follow the waves, and they will recite poems or perform talents at will in front of whomever they want, and if they don't want to, they will drink three of them.
Zhou Zi'an invited, there are naturally many disciples of the family at the banquet, the family is elegant, or good at danqing, or good at music, or Xiaoshu and ink, at this moment there are already two or three people outside the table to set up a few tables, waving ink, recording this situation.
Although Shao Heng also learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting when he was young, he only stopped at entertainment, but his handwriting was quite a bit of style, but he didn't like to be in the limelight. Therefore, when the wine cup in the water came to him, he smiled and drank three spiritual wines, which provoked Zhou Zi'an to point at him and scold: "You are coming to me to be greedy for wine and food!"
This wine is made by Xuanwu Peak Lingquan, although it is sweet and sweet, but it is also easy to get on afterwards, so although Shao Heng's wine is acceptable, others only feel that his eyes are clear, but under this breeze, the wine is not drunk and everyone is drunk, in the end it is a little more smoky, and it is a little more relaxed than when he came.
Suddenly, a few more people came up on Xiaocang Peak, and the laughter was far and near, extremely fast, and the voice did not fall, and the people were already in front of everyone.
"Haha! You juniors have this Yaxing, why don't you count them as brothers?" The first one was tall, wearing a purple fish cloud robe, wearing a three-star crown, and looking heroic.
Shao Heng had seen him once in the Cunzhen Palace, this person was standing behind Qingning Zhenren, and later learned that this was Nangong Zhao, one of the earliest senior brothers in their generation, and this person was now in the middle stage of condensation.
The people present stood up one after another, and even a few people who were painting on the side of the stream also stopped their movements and saluted Nangong Zhao together: "Meet Senior Brother." ”
Nangong Zhao saw that everyone was called "Senior Brother", and the smile on his face became more and more prominent, obviously very satisfied with this title in his heart.
Behind Nangong Zhao, Shao Heng and Zhou Zi'an's fierce rivals in the accent tower at that time, Nangong Zhao's brother Nangong Beidou. He was a few steps behind Nangong Zhao, and his expression was a little impatient, but when he saw Shao Heng, his eyes burst out like a sword, and he also stood a little straighter, as if he had a fighting intent in his heart.
Over there, Lu Ji also greeted him, and was greeting Nangong Zhao, Shao Heng and Zhou Zi'an glanced at each other secretly, and exchanged a few words quickly.
"Senior Brother Zhou, have you invited them?"
"How is it possible, I can't get along with the Nangong clan, and Nangong Beidou is very proud. I sent invitations to a few people to get started together, and Senior Brother Shangguan is Uncle Taiyue is not allowed to rely on it, Nangong Beidou I only symbolically sent someone to ask him, and he replied to Daotong and did not participate. ”
"And today?"
"I'm afraid that Nangong Zhao is not good, and he has other plans. Zhou Zi'an snorted coldly.
Shao Heng smiled slightly, after he learned about the relationship between Qingning and Qingjing from Uncle Duan, he didn't pay much attention to it. There are restrictions from the division commander, and there are restrictions by the door rules, even if someone wants to do something, they have to weigh one or two, at most it is just a little trouble.
In addition to the two Nangong brothers, there were a few people later, either the junior disciples of Nangong Zhao's lineage, or people who were good friends with Nangong Zhao, such as Dongfang Jun of Tianyou Peak, and even Chen Xiuwen, who had a holiday with Shao Heng, was among them.
"Senior Brother Zhou, I won't disturb you if I'm uninvited, right?" Nangong Zhao's words were like a spring breeze, and his eyes were burning.
Zhou Zi'an smiled casually: "Of course not, welcome." ”
Shao Heng heard him whisper in his ears: "It's strange." He almost burst out laughing, and quickly pretended to cough to cover his face.
Although he didn't like the Nangong brothers and others in his heart, Nangong Zhao was still the senior brother of the current everyone, and Zhou Zi'an didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately rearranged the seat, and ordered the maid to bring melons and fruits to drink water and reset the banquet.
Nangong Zhao and his entourage were all from families, and after they sat down, except for the two Nangong brothers, the rest of the people talked loudly, and there seemed to be no one else in their eyes.
Although most of the people invited by Zhou Zi'an before were disciples of the family, their tempers were quite similar to Zhou Zi'an's, although they were self-respecting and proud, but they all acted like a spring breeze, and there was no obvious difference in treatment.
But Nangong Zhao and the others acted obviously differently from them, only talking to the disciples of the family with rich backgrounds, and they didn't have any good looks with those who were not in the family, let alone Shao Heng and other non-family disciples. Gradually, the banquet was not as harmonious as before, and after the water wine cup turned down, everyone who was originally at the table looked a little uneasy.
That Chen Xiuwen's own brother failed again in the big exam, completely cut off the road of family transmission, and he was also grounded by Qinggu Zhenren for several months, and only came to lift the ban. Between his words and demeanor, Chen Xiuwen's eyes occasionally looking at Shao Heng were gloomy.
Dongfang Jun failed to block Shao Heng from entering the inner door, and was also angered by Shizun Qinghong Zhenren, and ate a good meal, and his eyes also showed a little unkindness.
Shao Heng's heart turned, and he guessed the cause and effect, and he was not afraid of the eyes of others at the moment, and said in his heart: No matter how you plan, you still can't stop me from moving forward, and I am not afraid of wind and rain.
If others are not jealous, or they are willing to be mediocre, or they will rise to the sky so that others will not be jealous.
Shao Heng had the ambition of slaying demons and destroying demons and sword Lingyun before, and then he had the heart of being otherworldly and jumping out of the cage, and now he has the thought of a gentleman for Xiao Yu, and he is even more unwilling to cultivate into a backward beauty, and his ambitions are firm and lofty, how can he care about the eyes of others and hinder the Dao heart?
Thinking of Xiao Yu, Shao Heng's heart softened, although he guessed the day before yesterday that Xiao Yu seemed to belong to something else in his heart, but the young man was full of ambition, how could he be vain and weaker than a person who didn't know where. Some time ago, the two saw each other almost every day, but now they haven't seen each other for a day, which is quite like every three autumns, and they actually have a little lovesickness.
