Chapter 8: The Hall of Pure Heart
Kunlun, the main hall of Xianmen.
Zhi Ge is learning swordsmanship with Xia Wanren. Ziyu stood with his hands folded, but in just half a year, he made rapid progress. Looking at his sword moves, he switched but in the blink of an eye, Zhang Chi has a way, and there is a layout for both attack and defense. If he hadn't deliberately let it, Xia Wanren would have been defeated a long time ago.
Zhi Ge squinted at Ziyu, distracted for a moment, and the sword in his hand was almost knocked down by Wanren. Fortunately, he had a solid foundation, and with a backhand, he turned defense into an attack, but in the end, it was a dangerous move, and it seemed that he lacked stamina. Wanren glanced at Ziyu, very dissatisfied with Zhige's distraction, and angrily, "Senior brother, what are you looking at!" Wanren simply threw his sword on the ground and sat sullenly on the stone steps.
Zhi Ge understood Wanren's delicate nature best, but he ignored her, put away his sword, walked straight to Ziyu, and asked, "Why is my aunt here?"
"The head of the house is busy with the affairs of the door. I was bored, so I came down for a walk. I haven't seen you for a long time, but your skills have grown a lot. It seems that he has cultivated the immortal body. Ziyu squatted down, picked up the sword discarded by Wanren and handed it to Zhi Ge, and whispered, "She's still a child, coax her." ”
Zhi Ge took it, looked down at Wanren, and nodded.
Seeing this, it was inconvenient for Ziyu to stay for a long time, and he was stopped by Zhige as soon as he took a step, "Auntie's magic power is profound, I don't know when I will be able to guide Zhige one or two?"
Ziyu turned around, and the peach blossom mask covered her watery smile, "If you really ask for advice, I will go to the Taixu Palace when I am Shenshi." ”
"Yes, Auntie, remember!" shouted Zhige. Before the words fell, Ziyu was gone.
"Senior brother, you are the most qualified and the best spell among our disciples. Why bother to ask her for advice? But because she is the sister of the head, she is so swaggering in Kunlun, which is really shameless. Xia Wanren pouted, looking unhappy.
"Wanren!" Zhi Ge frowned, and there was a faint anger between his eyebrows.
Xia Wanren had never seen Zhi Ge angry, and now he was still a little scared when he saw it. I had to lower my head and whisper, "It's supposed to be ......"
This time, Ziyu walked slowly along the road of the main hall. Although she has been in Kunlun for many years, she has lived in the Hall of Eternal Life for many years, and she is still very unfamiliar with this place. The road became narrower and narrower, and there were fewer and fewer disciples passing by. At the end, Ziyu saw a gate. She moved her gaze upwards, and there were three big characters majestically written on the door plaque, Broken Sound Pavilion.
"Broken Sound Pavilion, why have you never heard anyone mention it?" Ziyu gently pushed the door open, the door had been a little long, it seemed that it had not been pushed open for a long time, and there was an ancient voice.
Suddenly, a chirp came from above.
Ziyu looked up, only to see a red shadow rushing straight towards her, and she took a few steps back to stand firm. In front of him was a huge bird, its whole body was vermilion, its appearance was peculiar, and it had two eyes, and it was clear in its words. And this bird has two eyeballs in both eyes.
There was a faint pain in his hand, Ziyu lowered his head, and there were a few scars on his arm, which he thought had scratched when he pounced.
The bird seemed to be unwilling, and stopped not far away and stared at her. Those four eyes glared angrily, and Ziyu looked cold.
"Hey, I, I'm a good person!" Ziyu said loudly.
The bird didn't move, still looking at her.
Ziyu wanted to cry without tears, she didn't want to fight with a bird.
"I, really, really, am a good person. ”
The bird took a step forward and hissed a few times, its wings flapping slightly.
"You. Don't come here!"
Ziyu took a step back.
The bird took another step forward.
Ziyu took another step back.
"Auntie, be careful!" Seo-joo rushed in from outside the door, delivering a blow with all her might. Before Ziyu could react, he was taken away by Xizhu.
As soon as she stood still, Xizhu hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Auntie, are you okay?"
Ziyu shook his head, straightened his clothes, and then asked, "What was that just now?"
"My aunt doesn't know that the Broken Sound Pavilion has always forbidden disciples to come and go at will. I heard that there was a broken piano in it, called ...... What is it called, it is an ancient magic weapon, and it can't be moved. Xizhu whispered in Ziyu's ear.
"Even if it's an ancient magic weapon, isn't that a broken qin?"
"It's just that the string is broken, so it should be repairable. Otherwise, how could the head of the sect let Chongming Bird stay in the Broken Sound Pavilion to prevent someone with a heart from stealing it? But, Hu Leiqin, what kind of thing is that, an ancient magic weapon, which is said to be repaired, it will be repaired. I am afraid that it is difficult to find a single person in the world. Xizhu sighed.
"Chongming Bird ......" Ziyu seems to have heard Ji Ziyang mention it.
Chongming Bird, also known as Chongming Bird, has two eyes and four eyes, can fight against fierce beasts, get rid of monsters, and is an ancient spirit animal. Ziyu looked at his injured arm and thought, spirit beast, spirit beast, how can you be so irritable.
Xizhu raised Ziyu's hand, "Auntie, you're injured." ”
"It's just a small injury. As he spoke, he was about to withdraw his hand, but was caught by Xizhu, "No, the bad temper of the Chongming Bird is notoriously bad." I must have done you a cruel deal. Auntie, let's go with me to the Pure Heart Hall to take medicine. ”
Seeing that he couldn't shirk it, Xizhu was kind again, and Ziyu followed.
The Qingxin Hall is different from the Hall of Eternal Life and the Taixu Palace, which are as psychedelic and illusory as the Palace of Eternal Life, but a small bridge and flowing water, which is like a small building in the forest, elegant and chic.
"Xizhu, who is the owner of the Pure Heart Palace? I don't seem to have seen it before. Ziyu followed behind Xizhu, all the way over, full of scenery.
Xizhu lowered his head, his expression darkened a lot, "The master of the Qingxin Hall is Qianyao Zhenjun, and she is my master." ”
Ziyu didn't seem to realize Xizhu's sudden sinking tone, and asked, "Why have you never seen her?"
Xizhu didn't look back, but said, "Master, it's already immortal." ”
Her voice was sad, and Ziyu paused, "I'm sorry." ”
"I was taken under the seat by the master when I was five years old, and at that time, the demon clan was in turmoil, and the master was one of the three great immortals in Kunlun, so naturally he bore the brunt. When I was fifteen years old, Master left Kunlun to travel to the world, subduing demons and destroying demons. In the battle of Izumo Mountain, he died in battle. Xizhu looked around and smiled bitterly, "The Qingxin Hall has never been the same since then." It was deserted, and I and my sisters stood up. Although a long time has passed, looking back now, Master's legacy is still in front of me, and it is unforgettable. ”
The softness in Ziyu's heart was hit by Xizhu, and he said softly, "The festival mourns and changes." ”
Xizhu smiled with relief, and the haze in his heart was swept away, "After so many years, I have seen it." Master has said that you should not be stubborn. She wouldn't want me to be wallowing in the loss of my teacher all the time. Xizhu said as she introduced Ziyu into the Qingxin Palace, found the ointment, and carefully wiped it for Ziyu, "Auntie has to take care of her body." You must know that girls don't look good if they have scars on their bodies. How should I marry in the future?"
"You're kidding me again. Ziyu said with a smile.
"I'm serious. Xizhu pursed her lips and smiled, her hands were not idle, but the wound had been bandaged in a few words.
Ziyu looked at the time and stood up, "Fang just told Zhi Ge that he was going to the Taixu Palace to discuss with him when he was good, so he couldn't stay in the Qingxin Palace for a long time." Let's talk about it later. ”
"It's fine. Xizhu packed up the ointment, "Then aunt go quickly, Zhige has always liked to arrive a quarter of an hour early, and if you are a little late, you should be in a hurry." I won't send it to my aunt. ”
Ziyu nodded, walked out of the Qingxin Palace, waved his sleeves, and flew towards the Taixu Hall with a silver sword.
Taixu Palace, Peach Forest.
A gust of wind blew a pool of water, and the sky was full of peach red and dyed the sky above the Taixu Palace, and the petal peach blossoms hovered in the air, refusing to fall.
Zhi Ge is the same as before, with high black hair and a green shirt. He stood with his sword in hand, and the wind blew the corners of his clothes. Ziyu finally discovered that Zhi Ge was no longer the hairy boy he met for the first time. time, let him precipitate, let his back be more upright.
When Zhi Ge heard the sound, he immediately turned around and called, "Auntie." ”
Ziyu smiled and nodded, "It seems that Xizhu still understands you." I knew you would have waited a quarter of an hour early. ”
"Really?" Zhi Ge scratched his head embarrassedly, "I'm afraid I'll miss it." ”
Ziyu walked up to him, and the white skirt behind him dragged to the ground. The unique fragrance of pear blossoms on her body melted into this peach forest, which made him intoxicated. She approached him step by step, her face getting closer and closer to him, and Zhi Ge felt that his breath was missing half a beat. Ziyu smiled lightly and snatched Chengying from behind Zhige. Pick up the sword spike and take a closer look, "This is the one I gave you?"
"Hmm. Zhi Ge breathed a long sigh of relief, his heart still beating fast.
"Today, I see that you have made a lot of progress with the Wanren compared to before, the sword moves are not as cumbersome and fancy as before, and the moves hit the key points, which is excellent. It's just too brief, and often you can see through your intentions as soon as you make a move. Therefore, some false tricks still cannot be omitted. But the trick doesn't mean it's fancy, it's optimistic. Ziyu turned around and stepped back, but he couldn't see the beginning clearly between the rise and fall of the Chengying Sword. Ziyu's figure changed rapidly, the peach blossoms surrounded her layer by layer, the sword body was glowing with purple light, and a powerful air flow rushed out into the sky. The peach blossoms around the body bloom layer by layer, like a prosperous lotus.
The shadow sword fell, stirring up the splash of the surrounding lake.
The sun shone on Ziyu's side face, there were still a few drops of transparent dew hanging from the broken hair in his ears, his long hair reached his waist, and his black hair was fluttering. She stepped on the light wind and flew towards Zhige, and the peach blossom mask was gently blown off by the wind. The beautiful face amazes the world.
A silver sword was held in Zhi Ge's hand, seamlessly connected with Chengying. Swords collide with swords and sparks burst out. Ziyu smiled lightly, and Zhige also smiled. She was right in front of him. Why don't you laugh? He and her dance the sword together in the peach blossoms in the sky, dancing out of the world, flowing water in April. Their shadows lingered in each other's arms, reflected on the ground and reflected as a picture.
"Auntie, you must be the most beautiful person in the world. Zhi Ge looked at Ziyu, with her delicate smile in his eyes.
Ziyu smiled lightly, "Women are those who please themselves." I hope that in the future, I will be like this in the eyes of my husband. I'm sorry for you. ”
"Husband... Jun?"
"My brother and Venerable have already made a marriage for me, and it will be on the fifteenth of the next month. His name is Xuanyuan Baihua. ”
Zhi Ge suddenly fell silent.
Ziyu forcibly endured the bitterness in his heart, and asked with a dry smile, "Don't you wish me happiness?"
Zhi Ge reluctantly pulled the corners of his lips to reveal a smile, "Of course." ”
Zhi Ge looked at her, I want you to be happy in this world more than anyone else.
"Practice well. It's time for me to go back to the Hall of Eternal Life. Ziyu returned Chengying to Zhige and turned to leave.
The white back, hidden in the long peach forest, makes people reluctant to give up. Zhi Ge stood in place, looking at the figure from a distance, watching her go farther and farther away, gradually disappearing.
The peach blossom tree trembled slightly, and there was an old man, holding his white beard, and he couldn't see his face clearly. He opened his mouth as if he was saying something, but he vaguely couldn't hear it, and vaguely seemed to be saying-
Everything has a way of doing things, like a dream bubble, like dew and electricity, and should be viewed as such.
