The night is quiet. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo

Lin Xiaoyi tossed and turned on the bed alone and couldn't sleep, his eyes closed and opened, opened and closed, and he couldn't sleep peacefully.

He touched his chest in the quilt, and during the day, he had suffered a blow from the Immortal Sword of Senior Brother Zheng Shouyi in the Jingyue Hall, and now he didn't feel so much pain.

However, he seemed to feel another faint pain coming at him at this momentβ€”it was a pain from his heart!

Am I really not fit for practice?

This sentence, I don't know how many times I repeated it in his heart, in this silent night, he muttered to himself in some despair, is it that all the hard work he has paid for more than three years has been in vain?

Shouldn't you have embarked on this path in the first place?

Why can someone else do it, but he can't?

He was in a painful tangle, and he wondered what it was.

Why do you compare yourself so badly to others?

Why are you so useless?

So much so that today Master is so disappointed in him!

But no matter how much he thought about it, he still couldn't find any answer after all, but instead made his heart feel more and more troubled and uneasy, thinking of the days on Chiyue Peak in the future, he was a little afraid to imagine it.

Lin Xiaoyi lay flat on the bed, looking up at everything in the dark night, the moonlight was thick tonight, through the slightly open window, the moonlight slanted into his room, like a clear light, quietly sprinkled in front of his bed, and even the green bricks on the ground seemed to be covered with a layer of frost and snow.

He was a little homesick, thinking about his elderly parents, how are they now?

He recalls his carefree childhood, when he lived in a village in the mountains, chasing and chattering in the mountains with his companions, sometimes fishing with the stream below, sometimes chasing a hare in the forest.

But since I came to Chiyue Peak in Wufeng Mountain, I have to go to the back mountain every day to practice hard, sweating and bloody, but in the end, I am regarded by others as an unsuccessful disciple, a disciple who is not suitable for cultivation at all.

This is tantamount to a bolt from the blue for Lin Xiaoyi, who was originally strong in his heart, making it difficult for him to accept this reality.

The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, his mind was full of indignation, and gradually there was no sleepiness at all, he lifted the quilt, sat up from the bed, and went down to the ground.

Lin Xiaoyi walked to the door, hesitated slightly, and finally opened the wooden door and walked out.

The bamboo shadow is longing, and the courtyard is immersed in silence, only the crickets in the corners of the walls are still whispering, and the sound and intermittent chirping make this dark night even more quiet.

He looked around, the candles in the other rooms had already been extinguished, and he was afraid of waking up the sleeping of his senior brothers, so he quietly walked out of the courtyard alone, turned the corridor, and unconsciously came to the Jingyue Hall.

In front of this main hall is an open place, and then there is a pond of twenty acres, and behind it is the main hall of Chiyue Peak, Jingyue Hall, and there is no shade around it, the bright moon shines in the sky, and the moon shines like water, reflecting everything here as if it were day.

Lin Xiaoyi stood alone by the pool, looking up at the sky.

The night sky is full of stars, a bright moon hangs in the middle, the crescent moon is clear, and the night sky seems to be as transparent as if it has been washed.

The moonlight of this water shines on the clear pool below, and there is a reflection of a bright moon floating on the water surface, and the two moons up and down look ethereal and quiet, which can't help but make his mind flutter, and for a while, he forgot many of his troubles just now.

When he was intoxicated by the boundless moonlight, he felt as if something was wrapping around his calf, he looked down and saw that it was a brown puppy, lying at his feet, isn't this the "Chu Chu" raised by Senior Sister Qiyu?

He leaned over to pick up the puppy, stroked its hair, and said, "What? You can't sleep, you want to come and stay with me! ”

"Chu Chu" struggled left and right in his arms, as if he was very dissatisfied with his caressing, but after all, he couldn't break free of Lin Xiaoyi's hands, and finally had to curl up in his arms.

Seeing it lying comfortably in his arms, Lin Xiaoyi was a little envious of this puppy.

Lin Xiaoyi hugged Chu Chu, who had quieted down, and sat on the stone steps in front of the hall, as if to it, and as if to himself, and said: "You are much happier than me, and you don't have to worry about the progress of Dao cultivation, you just need to fill your stomach every day, isn't it?" Plainly! ”

Chu Chu shook his head as if he understood his words, and screamed twice, as if protesting against Lin Xiaoyi's false accusations against it.

Lin Xiaoyi felt more and more interesting about it, and touched its head with his hand, and "Chu Chu" calmed down a little.

Lin Xiaoyi looked at Chu Chu with a smile on his face, no matter how human it is, but after all, it is just a dog, how can he depreciate his identity and compare it with it?

Thinking of this, he smiled bitterly, and also felt that his idea just now was indeed a little ridiculous.

Suddenly, a slightly surprised voice came from behind him-"Huh," and then, there was a burst of silver-like chuckles, Lin Xiaoyi looked back, and saw a figure shrouded in moonlight.

That person stood on the stone steps in the distance, her figure was quiet and moving, at this time, she was looking at him with a hidden smile on her face, although she couldn't see her eyes clearly, but in Lin Xiaoyi's mind, there must be a brilliant brilliance like stars in her pupils!

That person is Lin Xiaoyi's senior sister Qiyu!

"Chu Chu" jumped out of Lin Xiaoyi's arms and ran towards Su Qiyu, spinning around her feet, wagging his tail and wagging.

Su Qiyu bent down and picked up "Chu Chu", stroked its head with her hand, and said with a slight snort: "No wonder I can't find you, it turns out that you are here!" ”

And "Chu Chu" licked her palms with her tongue vigorously, a well-behaved and cute appearance.

Lin Xiaoyi looked at the appearance of "Chu Chu" making love to its owner, and an inexplicable feeling came to his heart, he thought, "Chu Chu" may be able to get along with her like this every day, he can be coquettish and naughty to his master at any time every day, and he can play with her at any time.

For a moment, he suddenly felt that this little thing was much happier than him.

At this time, Su Qiyu walked to Lin Xiaoyi's side with "Chu Chu" in her arms, and asked softly: "Xiaoyi, it's so late, why are you here alone?" ”

Lin Xiaoyi hurriedly stood up and said, "I can't sleep, so I'll just come out and walk around," After speaking, he lowered his head slightly, embarrassed to look at Senior Sister Qiyu's eyes, although how much he wished he could keep looking at her like this, until the earth was barren and the sea was dry and rotten.

This Lin Xiaoyi only looked at the moon shadow on the masonry under his feet, but heard Senior Sister Su Qiyu ask in a low voice, "Are you still thinking about the fact that the master will test your cultivation during the day?" ”

But before Lin Xiaoyi could answer her, Su Qiyu had already been upset for him, and continued indignantly: "Master is really good today, he is so strict with you, when other disciples didn't pass before, he might also encourage them to practice diligently, and don't waste their cultivation, why is he so ruthless to you?" ”

Lin Xiaoyi hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand, and said, "No, no, Master, his old man is right, yes...... It's because I'm not angry, and it's my fault to make him angry. ”

Seeing that he had such a big reaction, Su Qiyu turned her anger into joy, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Xiaoyi, Master treats you so much, you still speak for him." ”

Lin Xiaoyi lowered his head and said: "After all, he is a master, and as a disciple, he must respect the teacher first, as the saying goes, 'a teacher for one day, a father for life',......"

Su Qiyu interrupted him impatiently, and then Lin Xiaoyi's words said: "Yes, we should respect him, but Master is also a human being, and there are times when he does something wrong, I think he treated you like this today, it's his fault!" ”

Lin Xiaoyi hurriedly said: "In short, it's not Master's fault, it's me who is too stupid!" ”

"Oops! You don't have to blame yourself so much, okay? Spiritual things are so unpredictable, who can guarantee that they will achieve immediate results? Speaking of this, Su Qiyu couldn't help but hesitate a little, her brows furrowed slightly, her face sank, and she continued: "However, it stands to reason that you shouldn't be so bad after three years of cultivation, the sword qi that Senior Brother released at you during the day, I think it only uses the power of his true yuan, as long as the disciples with a little cultivation foundation can be resolved, why can't you resist it?" There must be something hidden in this? ”

Su Qiyu said these truths, originally wanting to persuade Lin Xiaoyi.

But in Lin Xiaoyi's ears, it was like saying that he was several times worse than ordinary people, which made Lin Xiaoyi feel that he was really stupid.

Lin Xiaoyi looked at Senior Sister Su Qiyu who was worried about herself in front of him, he was even more ashamed of himself, and said to her: "Senior Sister, don't worry about me, maybe, maybe I'm really not suitable for cultivation!" ”

When Su Qiyu heard this, her expression was solemn, and she said: "Xiao Yi, you must not have this kind of thought, as long as you don't give up practicing for a day, you still have hope for one day, if you don't practice anymore from now on, then the gods can't help you!" ”

Lin Xiaoyi raised his head and looked at Senior Sister Su Qiyu who was holding "Chu Chu" in front of him in a daze.

Under the moonlight, she was dressed in green, dusty, the moonlight reflected in her bright eyes, it was so beautiful and moving, her heart-warming words were like a clear spring, flowing through Lin Xiaoyi's dry heart.

At a time when almost everyone was disappointed in him, when he felt cold, there was another person who was silently warming his heart that was about to cool.

Although Senior Sister Qiyu encouraged him like this, which made him feel grateful, Lin Xiaoyi was still a little worried about his cultivation prospects, and after a while, he finally mustered up the courage and muttered: "Senior Sister, if I do all my efforts in the future, but it still doesn't help, and the result is like today, will you still have hope for me?" Will you still care about a useless disciple like me? ”

Su Qiyu smiled softly and said, "Xiao Yi, as long as you don't give up your current practice, no matter what kind of results you encounter in the future, you will have a clear conscience, and Senior Sister will definitely stand on your side!" ”

Lin Xiaoyi nodded heavily, with Senior Sister Su Qiyu's words, no matter how big the difficulty is, he can't stop his pace, at this moment, he has made up his mind, not to talk about cultivation such a thing, even if it is to do anything for her, he is willing.

Su Qiyu suddenly found that in the eyes of the little Yi junior brother in front of her, who was half a head shorter than herself, a trace of brightness flashed in an instant, and there was a faint hint of fanaticism!

Su Qiyu asked him curiously, "Xiao Yi, are you okay?" ”

This gentle call woke up Lin Xiaoyi, who was in a state of madness, Lin Xiaoyi hurriedly covered up his gaffe, buried his head, and said in a low voice: "Senior sister, I'm fine." ”

Although Su Qiyu felt that he was a little strange, she didn't dig any deeper, so she turned her head to look at the moon in mid-air, and then a breeze blew in her face, with moist moisture, a refreshing coolness, and also blew her clothes lightly, and her long hair fluttered.

Lin Xiaoyi looked at the scene in front of her beside her, as if looking at the fairy who flew from the sky and descended on this mortal world, he couldn't help but follow Senior Sister Qiyu's eyes, and also looked at the bright moon hanging in the air.

In this quiet and deep night, at this time, the bright moon is in the sky, and the dark night is more deeply exposed, although there is the moonlight, but with the naked eye, it is still impossible to see all the foreign objects in the distance, and most of the mountains, temples, and trees only have vague shadows.

In this natural scenery, Lin Xiaoyi actually felt that this quiet night was so beautiful, the moonlight was so moving, and even the moonlight shining on the pond water was like a dream-like charm.

All this beauty is only because there is such a beautiful woman by his side!

In such a beautiful scenery, Lin Xiaoyi immersed himself in his inner thoughts.

In the thick night outside the two of them, the moonlight like frost still shines calmly and peacefully on everything in the mountains.
