CHAPTER IX
Four years later.
Shimizu Garden, autumn night. In the courtyard, the branches of the osmanthus tree are luxuriantly clustered. After the beginning of autumn, it has been a light rain that has never stopped.
"During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, in Shangyu County, Zhejiang, there was a family surnamed Zhu by the Yushui River, and he had a daughter named Zhu Yingtai. This Yingtai girl is gifted and intelligent, she has followed her brother to read and learn calligraphy since she was a child, and she has grown up to yearn for the way of sages........." Lu Zhu said eloquently with a notebook.
Ruoshui was lying on the lounger, and the fan that read "No. 1 in the world" spread out to cover his face.
On the wooden sandalwood coffee table is placed with moon incense, but it is very slow, but it is very fragrant.
The fragrance wafted into Bai Youyou's nose, and she couldn't help but think to herself that although Ruoshui had a lot of shortcomings, his ability to recognize incense was very superb. There are also all kinds of incense piled up in the wing, all of which are his treasures.
I really don't understand, a big man loves this kind of thing, it's not a big deal.
"Wonderful, if someone strokes the piano at this time, it will be wonderful." Wakasui turned, and the fan slid off his face.
The tea stove beside him was boiling, and Lu Zhu put the notebook aside when he saw this, carefully wrapped the tea handle with a rag and poured it into the teacup. Then he picked up the notebook and continued to read: "Miss Zhu met Liang Shanbo, a student of Huiji, who also went to Hangzhou to study, on the way.............
Bai Youyou was looking at the scroll in his hand at the window, glancing at Ruoshui from time to time.
She really had never seen such a wasted person, and when she turned her head, she saw the wisdom lying on the ground looking at the script.
The wisdom that was originally thin and short has been raised a lot in the past few years, like bamboo. In the past few years, although a lot has changed, his homework and spells have not improved at all. Every time he wanted to practice martial arts, he pulled out a lot of reasons and said that he was uncomfortable, but Ruoshui still believed it, so he just let him go.
Wisdom ran to the back mountain with his little fox every day to play, and did not come back until evening. And he brought back some messy animals, and last time he brought back twenty rabbits, which almost gnawed the house........
And recently, if the water died, begging Bai Lai to bring back a few books of popular words in the world, he and wisdom read them hungrily.
After living in Kunlun for a long time, the smell of fireworks in the world has faded.
The charm of this broken book is so great! Bai Youyou didn't care, she secretly looked at it when there was no one before, it was nothing more than the love of children and the shortcomings of parents, which was extremely boring.
Bai Youyou's eyes drifted out of the window.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and the wind picked up. The rain hit the leaves, and as soon as the wind blew, the fine osmanthus fell to the ground.
This osmanthus tree is said to have been planted by Wakasui a long time ago.
Hanami is pitiful.
But this god did not have the slightest pity for the jade, and the rain poured down, and long strips of light flashed in the night, opening a gap in the sky.
The weather was dreary and irritating.
It's a bad time to be.
Suddenly, there was a thunderclap and an explosion exploded in the sky.
Everyone was taken aback. Bai Youyou's hand shook, and the wind ruffled the pages. Wisdom also sat up from the ground, and took the little fox who was whispering in the nest in his arms.
"Zhu Yingtai and Liang Shanbo turned into butterflies and dispersed-" Lu Zhu calmly closed the script in the thunder.
Ruoshui sat up and stared into the courtyard with a grim face.
He's not going to settle down at this time, is he? Bai Youyou looked at him suspiciously.
Immediately afterwards, a blinding white strip rushed into the courtyard, and the osmanthus tree in the courtyard was chopped down, cracked, and then fell to the ground, suffering the impact of the rain.
"This is someone who has successfully ascended through tribulations." Wakasui left his seat and walked into the courtyard.
"Childe, take the umbrellaβ" Midori Zhu hurriedly went to the back room to get the umbrella.
Bai Youyou glanced at the green beads and followed Ruoshui out.
When I reached the door, a blue light suddenly appeared.
If the water recites a few incantations, that mass of incantations turns into a few lines.
At first glance, it is a tricky style of fish.
"The 300 people in Baizhuang were basically slaughtered overnight, and their deaths were miserable, and the survivors were only one-tenth alive, but most of them were insane."
Bai Youyou's heart "chuckled", and his face turned pale.
Bai Zhuang, she couldn't know better. She has lived there for fourteen years, even after living in Kunlun for more than four years, she still has more or less feelings for it. "One tenth of the survivors are alive", which means that they are very likely to die......... A little better might be crazy......
So, is she really alone now?
"Don't be afraid, don't be cranky." Ruoshui suddenly patted her on the shoulder, very serious, "There is a promising teacher, Fang will protect you!" β
"It's late, I'm going to bed." Bai Youyou turned her head and saw his face, and she could even see herself in his eyes. Her face turned crimson and the more she spent with Ruoshui, the hotter her face became.
So Bai Youyu quickly dodged away from him.
Ruoshui looked back at her panicked appearance and smiled unconsciously.
"Childe, umbrellaβ" Midori handed it to him respectfully.
"Hmm." Ruoshui walked into the rain with an umbrella, he did not approach the osmanthus tree that was knocked down by lightning, but just watched from a distance, "Green beads, clean up this tree, and then plant an acacia tree one by one." β
"Yes."
Holding an umbrella, blocking a large area of view. Ruoshui simply dropped his umbrella on the ground and looked up at the sky. Big, big raindrops hit his face, cold, icy.
The sky, which had been shattered by thunder, returned to normal. Ruoshui looked at his palm, which was aching, and a faint black mark appeared in the palm of his hand, much larger than the original.
"The boy doesn't know the taste of sorrow and falls in love with the floor. Fall in love with the floor, and worry about the new words. Now I know all the sorrows, I want to say that I will rest, I want to say that I will rest, but I will say that the weather is cool and autumn. Ruoshui muttered, "Green Pearl, do you have any opinions?" β
"Green beads are ignorant."
"Ahh Sleep! Ruoshui swaggered back with a fan, and water was still dripping from his body.
The second day was sunny, and the third day was nothing unusual.
On the fourth day, Yu Xuanji came uninvited.
Bai Youyou was practicing his sword in the courtyard.
"Tsk, you've been practicing this move for a month, and you haven't made any progress at all, it's stupid!" Yu Xuanji sat down beside Ruoshui, and took away the tea that Ruoshui was about to drink, "Immortal cultivators pay attention to having no distracting thoughts, and your brain is so confused?" β
You talk a lot every day.
"What's your business!" Bai Youyou used his spiritual power to urge the water in the pool to fly towards the fish mystery, but he didn't expect that guy to directly push the wisdom of serving tea in front of him.
The water splashed his wisdom, and two fish hit him in the face.
"Tut-tut, that's stupid!" Yu Xuanji sneered.
"Can you not die for a day?" Bai Youyou picked up the wooden sword and stabbed at Yu Xuanji.
"I can't." Yu Xuanji said and grabbed the wooden sword, and then the wooden sword broke in half, "Ruoshui, should you change the sword for your apprentice?" β
"It's time for a change." Ruoshui's face sank like water, and his fingers kept tapping on the tabletop, "Yoyo, don't worry about your uncle." Mystery, let's get down to business. β
"Hmph" Bai Youyou glanced at Yu Xuanji, threw the broken wooden sword to Wisdom, and sat down next to Ruoshui.
"The whereabouts of an ascended person are unknown recently."
"Does it have anything to do with the matter of Baizhuang?"
As soon as he heard the word "Baizhuang", Bai Youyou's heart rose to his throat.
"It should be related."
"Hmm........." Ruoshui thought thoughtfully, "What did the group of immortals in Heavenly Court say?" β
"They didn't react. This is a good thing for them, but if the ascended ones are young, they will feel bad in their hearts. After all, no one wants others to surpass themselves, and it's the kind of stinky boy who hasn't dried up. β
Bah, I think it's still the same thing. Bai Youyou secretly picked up the teacup and drank it all.
"Is the matter of Baizhuang settled?" Ruoshui poured a cup of tea again and pushed it to Bai Youyou.
"Nope."
"How could it not be resolved?" Ruoshui frowned, "If it was a demon, the local Daoist should have dealt with it a long time ago!" β
"Baizhuang is very remote, and a few Taoist priests who went there also died, and it is said that they were torn to pieces." Yu Xuanji said lightly, not thinking that this kind of thing was terrible at all, it seemed to be quite interesting.
Bai Youyou scoffed at this person, picked up the tea poured by Ruoshui, and took a few sips.
"Then we have to go and see it sooner!"
"Do you think he's coming back?"
"Who is 'he'?" Bai Youyou asked, but his eyes were staring straight at Ruoshui.
"Yoyo, you're tired, go back and rest." Ruoshui said softly.
"Huh?" Bai Youyou looked at him suspiciously, and suddenly felt dizzy and weak, his eyes couldn't be opened, and then he lost consciousness.......
He helped Bai Youyou and hugged her up, "Don't do this kind of thing in front of her in the future, I haven't punished you because of Chu Yue's matter before." β
"Then what are you going to do if the Demon Lord does come back?"
"Kill him." If the water is surprisingly cold.
"Is this woman so important to you?" Yu Xuanji frowned, "Why are you trying to torture yourself!" β
"She's important to me." Ruoshui's eyes were cold, "I said it, everything is because of me, and it will be too late to atone for your sins." β
Yu Xuanji went around to the front of Ruoshui, knelt down on one knee, and said: "Xuanji is willing to die for you!" β
