58. Chapter 58
After Ling Chusi finished speaking, he just smiled and watched Hou Xibai's reaction.
After a while, Hou Xibai slightly withdrew his gaze that had been staring at Ling Chusi, and when he lowered his head, he completely subconsciously glanced at the folding fan with a beautiful picture in his hand, thinking of what Ling Chusi had just said, the fingers holding the handle of the fan couldn't help but pause again.
At this time, Dugu Feng, who was too shocked, finally came back to her senses slightly, she didn't expect Ling Chusi to say such a thing at all, she was almost a little incoherent, "Ling, Miss Ling, you just now, I-"
"I'm serious! I'm really good at drawing beauty pictures! Ling Chusi swore an oath.
She has never been a person who speaks plainly. Moreover, it just so happened that Shi Qingxuan had already come out at this time, and the three of them were invited in by the maid because they had invitations in their hands, so they didn't need to crowd forward like everyone else, and sat firmly in their respective positions, and they could see Shi Qingxuan who seemed to be the aura of Zhong Tiandi.
It's just that others look at Shi Qingxuan, who has a pure temperament and is like a fairy, but what they see is her holy body and unparalleled elegance, or they are waiting for the lingering sound of the flute, which is endless for three days, and it is unforgettable.
But Ling Chusi looked at Shi Qingxuan, but he couldn't help but compare her with Shi Zhixuan-
Although it is a man and a woman, after all, they are father and daughter, and they don't seem to be very similar at first glance, but if you look closely, the facial features of the two are quite consistent.
In Ling Chusi's impression, if Shi Zhixuan didn't have a gloomy face, his white-clothed jade crown and phoenix-like appearance would be quite attractive. It's just that his expression always seems to be unpredictable.
Obviously, he was still indifferent and melancholy at the beginning, and his expression was still full of loneliness and deep color, but he was a little similar to the elegant and refined Shi Qingxuan. However, in the next few encounters, Shi Zhixuan had been chasing and killing Ling Chusi, and how much grace and elegance he had had before had been given up in the battle of life and death.
As for the facial features, Ling Chusi had never seen Shi Qingxuan's mother Bi Xiuxin, so it was not easy to say that Shi Qingxuan looked more like her mother or father, but at least just looking at those eyes, Shi Qingxuan was exactly the same as Shi Zhixuan.
The only difference is probably that although Shi Qingxuan is also lonely and quiet, there is a bit of tenderness in her eyes. When it was Shi Zhixuan's turn, there was only a bottomless deep and rich color left.
Shi Qingxuan held the long flute in his hand, just standing there, like a wonderful picture carefully depicted on the tip of people's hearts and made people forget the vulgar.
"Beauty!" Ling Chusi sighed lightly, but said with extra determination.
Ling Chusi glanced at Hou Xibai next to him, he was probably shocked by Ling Chusi's words just now, and he was still a little out of shape at this moment. However, even so, he looked at Shi Qingxuan's gaze, still focused and concentrated, but, for some reason, he didn't have the urge to paint Shi Qingxuan on the fan's beauty picture like he had just seen Ling Chusi.
Ling Chusi blinked slightly strangely, and then withdrew his gaze.
Dugu Feng, who was sitting next to her, also nodded, "Indeed, Shi Qingxuan's demeanor is as rare as ...... in the world."
"After all, it's the biological daughter of the 'Evil King' Shi Zhixuan and Cihang Jingzhai Bi Xiuxinβ" Ling Chusi originally just sighed casually.
From Shi Zhixuan, the "evil king" on the rivers and lakes, to Pei Ju in the Great Sui Dynasty, even if she and Shi Zhixuan are quite incompatible, they can't wait to throw a few more black pots on each other's heads at any time to kill each other, but Ling Chusi also admits that Shi Zhixuan is definitely the dragon and phoenix among people. and Bi Xiuxin, who has passed away, too, although Ling Chusi has never seen the fairy demeanor of Cihang Jingzhai back then, however, Bi Xiuxin's junior sister Fan Qinghui is still there, Bi Xiuxin, who seemed to be better than her back then, what kind of elegance should it be, Ling Chusi can completely imagine.
As a result, before Ling Chusi could finish his words, Dugu Feng had already abruptly withdrawn his gaze that was still looking at Shi Qingxuan, looking at Ling Chusi with a shocked and incredulous expression, his lips opened, and then he instinctively closed it, completely looking so shocked that he couldn't speak at all.
Hou Xibai's reaction next to him was not much better than that of Dugu Feng, when he heard Ling Chusi say the previous relationship between Shi Zhixuan and Shi Qingxuan in a nonchalant tone, Hou Xibai's mind was blank again, and he regarded it as a treasure and valued the beauty fan that never left his body, and at that moment, it all slipped down from his hand, and he hurriedly fished it back after he reacted.
"The parents are both dragons among people, and their daughters are naturally extraordinary......?" Ling Chusi saw Dugu Feng and Hou Xibai looking like they were ghosts, and half of the words were stuck in his throat, and after a long while, he continued to finish what he had just said.
An indescribably strange silence quickly permeated the three of them.
After a long time, Ling Chusi finally spoke softly with a little caution: "You two, are you okay?" β
Dugu Feng subconsciously looked up at Shi Qingxuan, who was still playing, originally light and pleasant, like a heavenly sound, which made people unable not to indulge in the sound of the flute, and the others were still fascinated, but listening to his ears, it seemed to have become as irritable as a talisman......
After Dugu Feng looked at Ling Chusi's calm expression that seemed to be really just curious about why he and Hou Xibai reacted so much, he almost collapsed and asked, "Are you, you just care about the two of us?" β
"I don't have a good relationship with the 'evil king' Shi Zhixuan, I don't care about you, do I still care about his daughter Shi Qingxuan?" Ling Chusi replied as a matter of course, and at the same time cleared up the statement of caring about Hou Xibai, after all, it was the first time they met, and she was not familiar with him, and she really didn't know anything about him.
Although Dugufeng took the initiative to invite her, Sun Simiao, and Ayi to see Duguvale's old lady You Chuhong, it is also true that Dugufeng has a serious and enthusiastic reception for them. Comparing the two, even if he knew that Dugu Feng had other thoughts, and chose one between her and the daughter of her sworn enemy Shi Zhixuan, Ling Chusi would definitely be biased towards Dugu Feng!
Hou Xibai, who was already so shocked that he couldn't answer just now, looked at Ling Chusi with stunned and blank eyes, and when he heard her say that her relationship with the "evil king" Shi Zhixuan was not good, the fan was finally shocked from Hou Xibai's hand.
Ling Chusi glanced at it when he heard this, and kindly reminded, "Your things just dropped." β
"Thank you......" Suddenly hearing that Ling Chusi casually said the names of Shi Zhixuan and Bi Xiuxin, as well as the sentence added later, "I have a bad relationship with the 'evil king' Shi Zhixuan", Hou Xibai was already scared to his senses.
After a long silence, Dugu Feng suddenly came back to his senses and said in shock: "Do you know the 'evil king' Shi Zhixuan!?" β
"Weβnot friends, and even, in some way, enemies are not an exaggeration." Ling Chusi replied to her succinctly, and nodded slightly in affirmation.
Dugu Feng hasn't been able to accept it yet, Miss Ling, who is inseparable from the divine doctor Sun Daochang who he invited home, actually knows the famous "evil king" Shi Zhixuan on the rivers and lakes, and the relationship between the two is not very good - such a person, as everyone knows, except for the equally famous "Queen of Yin" Zhu Yuyan, I am afraid that most of the others have died early under the hands of the evil king......
As for Hou Xibai, because he was so shocked, his fingers were still trembling slightly, and he tried twice before finally picking up the folding fan with his beautiful picture back.
He didn't even have the heart to look at Shi Qingxuan at this time, after all, after Ling Chusi's reminder, Hou Xibai's mind was full of the faces of his master Shi Zhixuan and Shi Qingxuan, constantly exchanging, sometimes male and sometimes female, sometimes clear and sometimes blurry, and the whole person seemed to become chaotic.
After a long time, Hou Xibai sat here in an extremely complicated mood, listening to Shi Qingxuan's melodious flute sound, and his heart was as calm as stagnant water - but he almost didn't need any other reactions, anyway, he wouldn't take the initiative to admit that he was Shi Zhixuan's disciple and the heir of Shi Zhixuan's intended Flower Sect......
However, thanks to Ling Chusi's fact that he and Dugu Feng have known each other for a short time, there is not even any friendship between the two of them, so Ling Chusi naturally will not tell the fact that he is the "Venerable of the Flower Sect Protector Sect" who has been rumored on the rivers and lakes before and has inexplicably carried a lot of black pots.
Shi Qingxuan's flute continued, except for Ling Chusi, Dugu Feng and Hou Xibai, who were all thinking about her father Shi Zhixuan at the same time, everyone was fascinated and intoxicated.
Shi Qingxuan's expression was faint, obviously with slightly drooping eyes, but it made people dare not have the slightest reverie......
When her flute was over, Shi Qingxuan ignored the many people in front of her, turned around and left the table.
Ling Chusi also immediately retracted his gaze, holding the Snow Phoenix Ice King Flute in his hand, and said with a smile with Dugu Feng, who had not come back to his senses: "Shi Qingxuan's flute voice is really worthy of its reputation. β
Dugu Feng subconsciously replied in a trance: "Back then, Cihang Jingzhai Bixiuxin's flute skills were also the best in the world, Shi Qingxuan was her daughter after all, and she was blue. β
When the words fell, Ling Chusi just understood "oh", after all, she really didn't know much about Bi Xiuxin, but Dugu Feng, after finishing speaking, she realized what she had said, and almost bit the tip of her tongue, and suddenly became excited.
"I don't think it's like it's so complicated to arrange it for the sound of a flute, is there any other arrangement next?" Ling Chusi looked up at the luxurious and beautiful scenery in the courtyard, and couldn't help but be a little curious.
"It's summer, and it's also a lotus viewing party." Dugufeng replied, "It's just that Shi Qingxuan's fame is too great, and the original lotus appreciation party, in front of her, can naturally only be reduced to a foil and background." β
"That's right!" Ling Chusi nodded, seeing that Dugu Feng and Hou Xibai were still a little frightened, they didn't repeat the point just now: after all, she is the daughter of the "evil king" Shi Zhixuan, so she is naturally extraordinary.
Although Shi Qingxuan has left, the lotus viewing party is still continuing.
Ling Chusi and Dugufeng walked to the vermilion Jiuqu Bridge together, looking at the pool full of blue lotus leaves, blooming lotus, pink buds dotted with it, but it was quite a bit of freshness under the scorching heat.
Ling Chusi held the flute in one hand, gently rested on the railing of the stone bridge with the other, turned his head sideways, and saw that Dugufeng was still the black power suit that was strict and solid, hot at first glance, but indeed a little heroic.
Dugu Feng has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his talent is extremely high, and now he is the second master of the entire Dugu valve second only to the old lady You Chuhong.
With her current martial arts, she can be called one of the best among these people today.
Xu is because Dugufeng's momentum is too strong, Ling Chusi is dressed in a tulle dress, always smiling and groaning, looking quite gentle and soft, but because she dares to walk with Dugufeng unscrupulously, so the other people present have the heart to go up, but they don't dare to approach her.
As for Hou Xibai, although Dugufeng and Ling Chusi had no other sons who dared to take the initiative to step forward, he subconsciously followed these two girls, but he also attracted the envious eyes of many people who didn't know the inside story.
In this regard, Hou Xibai could only hold the folding fan with a picture of a beautiful woman and smile wryly.
In this case, Ling Chusi was instead interested in joking, and a handful of lotus flowers was blown in front of Dugu Feng, and said to her with a smile: "Flowers for beauty!" β
"......" probably didn't expect that another girl who seemed to be more gentle and beautiful than herself would send flowers to herself, Dugufeng's eyes blinked and blinked, and he reached out completely unconsciously to take the lotus hand, and he couldn't come back to his senses.
Hou Xibai sighed softly beside him: "Miss Ling is so interested. β
Ling Chusi didn't even turn his head and glanced over, so he replied directly to him as a matter of course: "I have always been interested in taking care of beauties. β
"......" was still a little happy just now, but at this moment, Dugufeng, who had a feeling that he had inexplicably become a prop for the two of them, hugged the lotus flower and continued to be speechless.
Coincidentally, there was someone next to him chanting poems and splashing ink.
Although Ling Chusi is not particularly keen on this, he is also involved in the Seven Arts of Ten Thousand Flowers. In addition, she still clearly remembered the picture of the beauty on the fan of Hou Xibai's folding fan just now, and there were words in front of her, so she was also a little interested for a while.
She gently spread a piece of exquisite drawing paper on the table, calmly held the pen with her right hand, and slightly brushed the water sleeve of the plain light gauze decorated with ink-colored ribbon on her right wrist with her left hand, and glanced up at Hou Xibai, then directly lowered her eyebrows, held her breath and concentrated, like flowing water, and depicted a delicate picture of a "passionate son" who was elegant, outstanding, and ruthless.
Under the stunned gaze of Dugu Feng and some people who participated in the lotus viewing party next to him, after painting Hou Xibai's portrait calmly and calmly, Ling Chusi threw it lightly, directly threw the brush back to its original position lightly and steadily, gently blew the ink that had not yet dried completely, and carefully placed it on the side of the table, then raised his eyebrows and looked at Hou Xibai, and asked jokingly: "How do you feel?" β
"Miss Ling is really good at painting! Hebbai Gan bowed down. Hou Xibai sighed softly.
"Don't dare to be." Ling Chusi said casually, "I prefer your fan with a picture of a beauty." β
Between the two people coming and going, everyone still didn't know what kind of character Ling Chusi was, but the famous "amorous son" Hou Xibai was recognized in an instant.
Hou Xibai also became famous in the rivers and lakes in the past two years.
Those masters of the year still occupy the highest position in the rivers and lakes, such as the first master of the Central Plains, the great master of the Daomen who is famous for martial arts, and the scattered people Ning Daoqi; There is Song Que, who is in the name of "Heavenly Knife" but is biased to one side, and is the owner of the Lingnan Song valve; There is also the master of pure meditation Zen Buddhism; Cihang Jingzhai Lord Fan Qinghui; and Shi Zhixuan, the "evil king" of the Demon Gate; "Yin Queen" Zhu Yuyan......
However, these masters of the previous generation are now so deep and shallow, everyone in the rivers and lakes knows their names, but few people can see them.
Nowadays, it is the masters of the younger generation who are beginning to emerge gradually.
Although Ling Chusi and Sun Simiao's grandfather are also walking on the rivers and lakes, they are more about treating diseases and saving people, and occasionally they hear one or two rumors about the rivers and lakes, and the news is mostly scattered and trivial.
Today, I suddenly heard someone talk about the rising stars of the younger generation in addition to the four major lords and the children of the family, Ling Chusi couldn't help but ask curiously: "Who else are they?" β
didn't have to wait for others, Dugufeng directly broke his fingers and helped her comb them one by one, "There are a few more famous, there are 'amorous sons' Hou Xibai-" Saying, Dugufeng glanced at Hou Xibai intentionally or unintentionally, and then continued: "There is also the 'shadow assassin' Yang Xuyan, but this person is more mysterious and comes and goes without a trace." There are also the Turkic swordsman Bafenghan, and it is said that Yangzhou Shuanglong Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, who were only recently ordered by the Pushan government and were hunted down by the Dongying faction, ......"
Dugu Feng had to continue counting, Ling Chusi had already waved his hand to interrupt her words, and said in a subtle mood: "These people you mentioned, except for the 'shadow assassin' and the Turkic swordsman, the other two, I seem to have seen ...... before."
"Do you know Yangzhou Ssangyong?" Dugu Feng did not hide his surprise and said, "I have never heard anyone mention it in the rivers and lakes." β
After all, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling are famous for being hunted down, in her opinion, Ling Chusi and Sun Simiao are inseparable together, and the places where they operate are mostly in the north and the Central Plains, as for Shuanglong, it is also a coincidence, since these two people began to make a name for themselves, it is a place where there is water along the eastern seaside river, such two groups of people, just from the point of view of location, there is no intersection, Dugufeng really hasn't heard of any chance to meet between the divine doctor Sun Daochang and Shuanglong before.
"It's also possible that the name has been renamed." Ling Chusi wrote lightly, but although he said so, thinking of the two little teenagers he saw at the beginning, Ling Chusi was more inclined in his heart, and the current Shuanglong was the two children who depended on each other back then......
Ling Chusi was still thinking about when to go to Jiangnan with Grandpa Sun and take it away, speaking of which, it seems that Grandpa Sun has never been to the beach yet, right?
Hey? Thinking about it like this, I really haven't been to Jiangnan for a long time, and I don't know what Yangzhou City is like now, and what is going on with Wei Zhenzhen and Wen Yuyu, who entered the Demon Gate back then......
As a result, at this moment, a little monk suddenly shouted unsurely: "Are youβthe female benefactor back then?" β
Because of their smart ears and eyes, Ling Chusi and Dugu Feng both looked up at the direction of the sound at the same time.
A little monk in a robe recited the Buddha's name in a regular manner. Ling Chusi heard someone whispering next to him, saying that this little monk seemed to be young, but he was a high monk from the Pure Zen Sect, and he was specially invited by the master's family to talk about Buddhism with the old lady today.
Ling Chusi blinked his eyes and blinked again. However, in the face of a little monk who has changed into eighteen years in a male college, especially if she doesn't even feel familiar, she can't recognize it.
"Pure Zen Buddhism - what is your relationship with Master Kong?" Ling Chusi asked a little confused.
The little monk's expression was a little weird, and he wanted to laugh and was a little helpless, but he still said: "Poor monk enlightened heart, I heard Uncle Yuan say that when you broke into Zen Buddhism back then, you were as old as I am now......
The crowd was in an uproar.
"Someone actually broke through the Pure Mind Zen Sect!?" Dugu Feng couldn't believe it.
As for Hou Xibai, his mind was deeper, and he also looked at Ling Chusi in disbelief, but what he was thinking about was why after Ling Chusi broke through the Pure Mind Zen Sect, the Enlightenment Heart Monk of the Pure Mind Zen Sect still had such a friendly attitude towards her......
Although Ling Chusi still didn't know Wuxin, as soon as he said his name, Ling Chusi remembered it, and couldn't help but be surprised: "You fainted at that time, how can you still recognize me?" β
The little monk Wuxin immediately smiled and said, "The female donor may not have noticed, we met last winter. That's when you and the divine doctor Sun Daochang were still treating the victims, and the Pure Meditation Zen Buddhism was also relieving those victims at that time...... Master Yuan recognized you at a glance, and said that he misunderstood that you were the Protector Venerable of the Flower Sect back then, and he was almost killed by you because of this......"
Wuxin's voice was not high, and the people in the distance probably didn't hear it, but Dugufeng and Hou Xibai, who were young but had unfathomable martial arts, were deaf and clear, and what Wuxin said, they naturally heard it word for word.
There is no need for anything else, just the words "Venerable of the Flower Sect Protector Sect", even if there are three words "misunderstood" in front of it, it is still enough to set off a monstrous wave.
