A pond
When Jiang Tongye was retreating in the ashram to build the foundation, crossing the mountains and building a courtyard next to a lake, there was a young girl of short stature, holding a book in one hand, turning the delicate paper lightly in the other, and a pair of bright eyes staring at the fly-headed Xiaokai on it, although occasionally coughing twice from time to time, but still immersed in the book.
This little girl is Jiang Tongye entrusted by Qin Taishou and brought back to Yishui Heavenly Palace, and now she can stabilize her soul, so she is still a little weak Qin Ruozhuo. She was originally enlightened by Qin Taishou, and then she was taught by Jinshi, and she was smart by nature, so although she was still young, she had already read the four books, and now she was reading the "Book of Shang" in the Five Classics, although she had also learned some before, but the one that had been circulated in the mortal world had been lost due to fire and war, but it was in the hands of Confucian cultivators in the cultivation realm that kept a complete volume collection, and there were also several copies in the Yishui Heavenly Palace, and Qin Ruozhuo is now looking at one of them.
When she was immersed in the book, a few knocks on the door remembered, Qin Ruozhuo subconsciously raised her head, but no one came in, only then did she realize that now she was no longer in her own house, there was no one here to open the door and open the curtain. Putting down the scroll in her hand, she slowly stood up, since two days ago, she accidentally got up too quickly and fainted, she no longer dared to move as boldly as before, everything was done with caution and care.
The girl who was thin but not short walked to the door, gently pushed the door open, the golden sunlight was shining in front of her, Qin Ruozhuo squinted her eyes slightly, and when she opened herself to take a closer look, she saw a tall figure standing in front of him, this was a young man with an indifferent expression and disdain.
Qin Ruozhuo didn't know what the relationship between this person and Jiang Tongye was, so he just blessed his body, and said softly: "Sister Jiang has something to do, I don't know who Your Excellency is, if you have anything, when Sister Jiang comes back, the little girl will tell you on her behalf." ”
The man ignored these words, lowered his head slightly, and his tone was full of indifference, "I'm looking for you." ”
"Why are you here?" Qin Ruo was already smart, and now she was displaced, and she was sent to the fence, which added a bit of sensitivity and delicacy, as soon as the man spoke, she subconsciously felt a sense of crisis, so she spoke a little unpolitely.
"Take your life." The man said cruel words indifferently, thinking that he had dealt with this kind of thing not once or twice, the soft neck of the girl folded in his hand, the soul of the young man broken under his sword did not know how much, and it was just another mission goal in front of him, no matter how beautiful it was, it was no different from a corpse in his eyes, and who would have pity for a corpse?
Hearing this, Qin Ruo was startled, her little face turned white, and she couldn't help but take half a step back, but after taking half a step back, she straightened her back and took a step forward, she was already dying, what was she afraid of? Then he boldly asked:
"Dare to ask Your Excellency, did the little girl do something hurtful?"
"Never."
"The little girl has killed someone?"
"Never."
"So the little girl did something against the law?"
"Not yet."
"Then dare to ask Your Excellency, what reason do you have to take my life?"
After asking three questions in a row, Qin Ruozhuo's tone also improved a little, she walked upright, sat upright, just as her father once taught, to be a man, you need to be worthy of heaven and earth, not to violate the law, and then to be loyal to your heart. Therefore, why should she be afraid of the man in front of her who seems to be mighty, but is not even a sound person with independent thoughts?
"Why sophistry? Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are regarded as dogs, and you take the life of dogs, will you explain? It seems that he is still as ruthless as Fang Cai, but he can still hear his vacillation between the lines. He has always only regarded mortals as ants, and every time he starts to see a scene of Zhang Huang being at a loss, it also strengthens the understanding in his heart, but today he occasionally sees a person who is not afraid of him, and he doesn't seem to be able to say a good reason to explain, but for the first time, he began to puzzle the task assigned to him by the sect.
"Sophistry?" Qin Ruozhuo coughed lightly twice, Fang Cai's excitement still made her feel stuffy in her chest and black in front of her, but now is not the time to fall, she endured the discomfort and continued to speak: "It's you who is sophistry, right?" I didn't even understand the meaning of this sentence, and I still took it as a creed, which is ridiculous. "When she was studying, of course, there were times when she didn't understand it, but she was like this man, but she never did.
The man was dumbfounded, his talent was not good, and he spent all his time cultivating to get to this point, but on the other hand, he was lacking in other aspects, and even the three hundred and sixty side sects in cultivation were only involved in a little bit of it, not to mention the seemingly useless hundred schools of study. Although the man still had a cold face, he still looked like a murderer, but he knew that his belief in killing had been dispersed at this moment, so how could the sword in his hand be sharp?
However, it's enough to deal with this little girl!
The man understood that he could still continue to maintain a certain rate of cultivation now, thanks to the various pills that the sect rewarded after completing this dark task that others were unwilling to do, if there were no these pills, maybe his cultivation path would have been interrupted here, compared to this, a little girl who was a little strange was not worth mentioning.
Thinking of this, the man put aside his somewhat wavering heart for the time being, and raised the long sword soaked in countless blood, Qin Ruo's clumsy pale look was reflected on the back of the cold knife, and as soon as the blade turned, he was about to cut off Qin Ruo's weak neck-
It was obviously a sword blade that sharpened iron like clay, but on the way to cut it down, it was blocked by a slender and graceful, slim lotus, the man was startled, looked around, and it was still a beautiful scene by the green mountains and green waters, but now it has become another beautiful picture. Under his feet is the emerald clear water, and he can still feel a clear and cool feeling on his feet, and the position where he stands at this moment is actually an endless pond, and the pond is planted with overwhelming lotus flowers, or swaying in the wind, or hanging down with dew, all of them are graceful, but there is one thing in common, under each lotus flower, there are countless lotus leaves, emerald green, light green, tender green color, everywhere, everywhere, this is-
The lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red!
