Chapter 20: The Pavilion of the Scriptures
Tianxue followed behind Yun Yan, and the two walked along the wide bluestone road, and the people passing by were all looking at Tianxue with envy.
Others whispered behind their backs: "This woman doesn't know where she came from, but she can see through the mystery laid by Venerable Donghua, and I heard the little fairy child say that she is walking fast on the ice lake, and it seems that her cultivation is not shallow." ”
Another voice said, "Really? How did she follow Yan Lao? Could it be that Yan Lao wanted to take her as an apprentice? If this was the case, wouldn't she be on an equal footing with the three Venerable Beings in the future." ”
Tianxue ignored the discussion of the people behind her, silently followed Yun Yan and walked forward, and passed through a courtyard gate to a small courtyard full of flowers and green trees.
There is no bluestone paving, and the ground of the yard is full of flowers and plants. Stepping on the soft green grass, smelling the fragrance of flowers blowing in the wind, the snow is about to be intoxicated.
After walking through a few ordinary side rooms and walking for a while, a house with a relatively remote location and the most peculiar shape appeared in front of me.
The reason why Tianxue felt that this house was peculiar was that it had been painted with white ink, and the walls outside the house were crawling with greenery, revealing only small patches of white from the gaps in the leaves. The pointed roof, the white tiles on it are also covered with green, and from a distance, the whole house is green, and it is connected with the surrounding green trees, and it is difficult to find this green house from a distance.
Tianxue looked at the other palaces in the distance, all of them were red walls and green tiles, and he felt more and more that there was a kind of mystery in the beauty of this green house.
Walking into the green house, a cool breeze blew in her face, gently blowing Tianxue's hair and pink dress on her body, making her suddenly feel refreshed and happy. The snow didn't feel strange, the house was surrounded by dense trees, and the house was supposed to be cool.
Hearing someone come in, a young man in blue came out from behind the screen, and when he saw Yun Yan, he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Say hello to Yan Lao!" The young man glanced at Tianxue and said, "This little sister is a new disciple, right?
"Ci'er went to clean the west wing, let this little girl live, watch her well, don't let her run around, take care of her diet and daily life, read her a few simple scriptures first, and Benxian will come to pick her up in a few days. ”
The young man paused for a moment, not knowing why Bai Yunyan God had arranged for a new disciple to live in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, but he still nodded hurriedly and said, "The disciple understands, he must be optimistic about her." ”
After Yun Yan finished speaking, he turned around to leave, and looked back at Tianxue and said, "Little girl, you remember, you must not walk out of the courtyard gate of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion without Xiao Ci to accompany you." ”
"Xue'er listens to Yan Lao's words and won't run around, but Yan Lao has to come and pick me up early. ”
Yun Yan didn't answer Tianxue, but just looked at her deeply, with an incomprehensible smile on the corner of her mouth.
After Yun Yan left, only Tianxue and the young man in blue were left in the room, and the two looked at each other, looking at each other.
Looking at the beautiful Tianxue in the picture, the young man was so distracted that he forgot what Yun Yan had told him.
The quiet air made Tianxue a little confused, and after a while, she spoke first: "This little brother, my name is Tianxue, you can call me Xue'er, can I call you senior brother?"
The young man came to his senses at this time, and smiled a little embarrassed: "Okay, I'll call you Xue'er, don't call me senior brother, call me Xiaoci, it's more kind." I wonder if the Venerable One has taken Xue'er as an apprentice?"
Tianxue's eyes dimmed, and he shook his head and said: "I just came to Caiyun Mountain, and the two gods have not arranged for me to follow that Venerable, Elder Yan said that I should live in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion temporarily, and then let me perform the ritual of apprenticeship when I find out my life experience." ”
"Oh, it turns out that you just came to the mountain today and haven't apprenticed yet, but don't worry, since Elder Yan left you behind, he will definitely let the three Venerable Masters teach you." ”
"Well, I think so too, I finally crossed the ice lake, and if the master doesn't teach me the immortal method, I won't leave. Tianxue's eyes rolled twice, and she looked like a lipi.
Seeing such a cute little junior sister, Xiao Ci shook his head and smiled: "Xue'er, you rest here for a while, there is tea on the table, drink some if you are thirsty, I'll clean up your room, you can live here for a few days with peace of mind." ”
"I'm so embarrassed to let you clean my room for me, I'll go with you. ”
"Okay, come with me. He turned back and beckoned to Tianxue.
In the next few days, Tianxue has been reading those ancient books in the Scripture Pavilion, and only Xiao Ci accompanies her every day.
Occasionally, some other disciples would come to the scripture pavilion, or come to borrow scriptures, or some would come to return the scriptures, but they would not stay for a long time, and they would leave in a hurry after staying for a while.
Yun Yan instructed Xiao Ci that he could only read the simplest exercise book to Tianxue, although Xiao Ci did not know Bai Yunyan's intentions, but he still complied.
Xiao Ci knew that Leng Guqing had not yet found out Tianxue's life experience, and had not yet determined whether to accept Tianxue as a disciple, so he did not let Tianxue read the books treasured in the cabinet.
Looking at the books in her hand, Tianxue felt bored, and she found that these books were all teaching people how to be lucky to prolong their lives, and how to cultivate to give birth to immortal veins and immortal bones in their bodies.
However, Tian Xue was born as an immortal, and she already had immortal veins and immortal bones in her body, these books were useless to her at all, and she just read books to pass the time. She was thinking every day in her heart when Yun Yan would come to pick her up, and when she would be able to learn something useful from her teacher instead of reading these books that she didn't have.
Tianxue's reading speed is not ordinarily fast, and he never forgets it, and he finished reading all the books on the shelves in less than three days.
"Xiao Ci, are there any other books to read? Tianxue urged Xiao to resign again.
Xiao Ci was stepping on a wooden stool and fiddling with the books on the bookshelf, when he heard Tianxue call him and echo: "Oh! Xue'er, you have called me a few times, I have searched all over the bookshelf, and I really can't find the one you haven't read." ”
"Hey!" Tianxue sighed, "If you can't find it, don't look for it, I won't trouble you." It's boring to stay here, why don't you take me out for a walk, Caiyun Mountain must have a lot of fun to do when it's so big. ”
"Ah, do you want to go out to play? No, you can't, Yan Lao said that he wouldn't let you run around. Xiao Ci shook his head again and again.
"No! Yan Lao meant to say that I wouldn't let me out of the hospital without you accompanying me. He must have been worried that I wouldn't find my way back, so he asked you to take me out for the first time, and when I got acquainted with it, I didn't need to trouble you to accompany me. ”
Xiao Ci's face was full of helplessness, and said: "Xue'er, it's not that I don't want to take you out, it's just that this Hidden Scripture Pavilion can't be guarded by no one." If you really don't have anything to do, you can go to the yard and pick some flowers and make a wreath to play. ”
"Okay, okay, I won't bother you, I'll go to the yard to catch crickets myself, and I won't let you play if I catch them. Tianxue looked impatient, snorted, and ran into the yard.
Xiao Ci hurriedly shouted to her: "You just play in the yard, don't run outside." ”
"Got it. ”
At this time, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the yard is full of flowers and plants, and naturally there are many crickets calling. Tianxue first made a small cage out of rattan and prepared to use it to hold crickets.
"The little cricket ran there, and this girl didn't believe it, I am such a big living person, and I can't catch such a small thing as you. Tianxue lay on the grass, muttering to herself while chasing a cricket.
But the next thing is that it is really difficult for Tianxue, a big living person, to catch this little cricket. It jumped around in the grass, as if it were playing hide and seek with Tianxue, who had tried so hard to catch it.
Tianxue is an eight-year-old child after all, and she forgets where she is when she plays, and before she knows it, she has chased the cricket out of the courtyard gate.
When she caught the cricket, she found that she had already left the small courtyard of the Scripture Pavilion, and had already walked out of the way.
"Fortunately, fortunately I didn't go far, and I will definitely find the Scripture Pavilion if I walk back along this road. Tianxue carried the small cage and walked back along the road she came from.
After walking for a while, Tianxue estimated that she was about to arrive at the Scripture Pavilion, she looked left and right, how could she see the courtyard gate of the Scripture Pavilion, and couldn't help but say to herself: "Why haven't you arrived at the Scripture Pavilion yet?
In this way, Tianxue walked back and forth along the path several times, but he couldn't find the gate of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion. Seeing that there is no one on the road, it is difficult to ask for directions, seeing that the sun is about to set, and if you can't go back, you can only spend the night outside.
She was a little flustered, and then she remembered why Yun Yan didn't let her out of the courtyard gate of the Scripture Pavilion, it seems that this Scripture Pavilion is not ordinary and remote, hidden in the green trees so that people can't find it at all.
At this time, the crickets in the small cage kept cooing, and she looked at the crickets in the cage, and suddenly felt that this little thing was so pitiful.
She said to the crickets in the cage: "It's getting dark, you must want to go home too, right? I can't go back to the Scripture Pavilion when I'm lost, but I can't bother you, I'll let you go now, you go to sleep in the grass." ”
Tianxue opened the cage with her hand and released the little cricket.
Out of the cage, the cricket stopped screaming and kept jumping forward on the grass. Tianxue felt interesting, and unconsciously walked forward in the direction of the cricket's jump, keeping her eyes on the cricket.
After a while, Tianxue noticed that the little cricket had suddenly stopped beating, the tentacles on its head were swinging from side to side, and its two little eyes were constantly turning, as if looking for something.
Tianxue stared at the cricket with her eyes fixed, and suddenly saw it fly towards the red wall, and strangely she could no longer see the cricket, it seemed to disappear out of thin air, there was no on the wall, and there was no grass under the wall.
"How strange! Did it get into the crack in the wall?" Tianxue muttered to herself, and couldn't help but reach out and touch the red wall.
It didn't matter if she touched it, but she frightened Tianxue, and there was obviously a red wall in front of her, but she felt empty.
She screamed excitedly, and said to herself, "Ah! This wall is fake, just a shadow, and there is no wall here." ”
Something tripped over something, she slipped and fell, and when she looked up again, she saw the familiar green house right behind her.
She hurriedly got up from the ground and muttered, "I'm back, it turns out that there is a mechanism outside, no wonder I couldn't see this place just now, is this the legendary illusion technique? ”
"Xue'er, you're back, I can't see you in the yard, and I'm going to look for you outside. ”
Tianxue turned her head and saw Xiao Ci standing behind her, talking to her.
She hurriedly tidied up her dress to make herself look less embarrassed, grinned and smiled at Xiao Ci: "Well, it's getting dark, I'm afraid you're worried about me, so I'll come back." Are you hungry? Shall we go cook?"
Xiao Ci stood in place and looked at her with strange eyes, and said in her heart: "This little sister is really amazing, she has only been in Caiyun Mountain for three days, and she has never been out of the courtyard gate of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion at all, and she can actually see through the illusion set by Yan Lao, open the door of the enchantment and find the way back, it seems that she has a lot of background, there must have been other immortals who have guided her before, and she has already had a lot of cultivation." ”
