Chapter 20: Heart-to-heart

But it was said that Meng Jingluan received more than a dozen sword books, drank white dew in the morning, slept in the west, and practiced hard day and night. She knew very well that her talent was not outstanding among the rookie disciples in Penglai. Fortunately, it was a tough body trained in the mountains that gave her a little more capital to endure hardships.

After she finished practicing the sword that day, she put the wooden sword aside, very sleepy, and couldn't help but rest under the fake stone. Who knew that this break actually fell asleep. In the fog, she felt a fluffy thing stirring between her noses, and she frowned, "Ah...... Chirp! ”

Suddenly opened her eyes, a dog's tail grass dangled in front of her eyes, the hands holding it were slender and delicate, clearly a man's hand, she subconsciously touched the sword, almost never jumped up, "Who is here!" ”

"I've called you a thousand times, but I can't wake you up. Were you the reincarnation of Marshal Tianpeng in your last life? ”

She looked closely, and saw that the man was long and jade, and he had changed into a dark brocade robe with elastic flowers, covered with a triple green gauze robe, and a bamboo jade and fan bag around his waist. How to call it a handsome and graceful.

He still wears a mask, but no longer the fierce ghost with teeth and claws, but a moon-white leopard face.

Rao is appearance has changed greatly, and Meng Jingluan can distinguish his voice, which is the demon he met at the bottom of the mountain first. I couldn't help but wonder, "Qingxiu Lu has an enchantment, you are a demon, how did you get in?" ”

The man jumped on the high stone in a very dashing manner, reclined down, poured the wine jug down, and poured two sips, "Joke, is there a place in Penglai that I can't enter?" Hugh said that you are a disciple of Penglai, even if you are a real person, you may not be able to catch me. He glanced at Meng Jingluan's slightly stunned look, and smiled very gracefully, "I wear this, do I look good?" ”

Meng Jingluan rolled her eyes again, and couldn't help but feel a sour jealousy in her heart, since she went up the mountain to now, she only has two uniformly distributed disciple clothes, but this man is dressed so properly and beautifully, he can't help coughing lightly, deliberately straighten his face and say, "A man is good-looking, what's the use?" Instead, it lost momentum. Besides, I don't know what you look like, but you took off your clothes for me, and I would be fine with the designation. ”

The man almost squirted out the wine, choked several times, and laughed out loud, "What a shameless woman." ”

Meng Jingluan was upset by his angry willow eyebrows, and shouted, "What do you mean by this?" Tell me, you're here to find someone in Penglai, not from the draft... You're dressed like this, who's going to see you? She was unconvinced, "The man I like must be like my master, heroic and upright, and ...... to be upright." Busy to cover his mouth.

The man really smiled and said mercilessly, "This is just the entrance, and you want to pass through the door?" Interesting. It's just that you have affection, and people may not be interested in you. ”

Meng Jingluan was so anxious that he stomped his feet, "Don't talk about it!" I don't dare to think anything wrong! The man smiled even more brightly, "This still has a lot of thoughts about the division commander, it's amazing, it's amazing, what if he doesn't obey?" First of all, you have to beat him first..."

"You!" Meng Jingluan struggled to find enough vicious words, while thinking about Yue Yanshan, who was sharp and sharp-toothed, in his heart, he said in his heart I have a good temper, let you deceive me, if I change to something else, I don't know what to do. "What's your name?"

So the two reported to their homes, and she also knew a little about the goblin's origins, and learned that he went to Penglai to rescue an old man.

"I said Hanamamasa, then your sworn brother is also a goblin? What kind of demon is he? ”

The man sighed, his tone was a little confused, and the smile on his face disappeared at all, "If he was a demon, with Penglai's style of acting, he would have been refined a long time ago." You asked a good question first, if I hadn't gotten the ghost finger hidden ring of the high priest, I wouldn't have dared to set foot in Penglai easily. ”

Meng Jingluan didn't understand what he was referring to, but she could also hear that she was lonely, for some reason, she was very scared when she saw this man for the first time, but now she had a bit of a sense of sympathy, and hesitated, "That...... You won't come back in the future? ”

Hua Jian Zheng paused, and instead of answering her words, he asked, "There is only one person stationed in the Qing Xiu Mansion." - Your master, it's Li Xuanfeng, right? ”

"Yes."

He nodded slightly, "If you can worship this person as a teacher, you are not a fool of Penglai." Follow him to study hard, and there will always be a day when you want to get ahead. ”

Meng Jingluan was anxious again, "I'm asking you - won't you come again?" ”

Before Hua Jian Zheng entered, he brushed away the bamboo leaves falling above her head for her, and said with a smile, "Meng Jingluan, you are also interesting." Wasn't it too scared before? Why do you still want me to come? ”

Meng Jingluan was asked. Yes, they don't know each other before, but they have three points of indescribable feelings, as if they have known each other for a long time. However, since he can shake his hands and leave in a chic manner, can't she still hope to stay? Then he waved his hand hatefully and said, "Okay, okay, if you want to go, you can go, this girl is not rare!" Suddenly, something came to mind, "Slow, aren't you going to inquire about the blessed land of pure heart?" Don't you inquire now? ”

Hanama was stunned for a moment, as if surprised, "Are you still willing to help me?" ”

The girl wondered, "What's so hard about this?" Just wait for the master to come out, I will ask him, and then I will tell you. Don't worry, I've always kept my word. A gentleman promises, a thousand gold is hard to find! ”

"Don't ask him!" Hua Mazheng suddenly waved his hand, and the five-fingered hollow carved brass ring clanged, and his brows tightened, "If you ask him, it will hurt me and yourself." I was refined, and you were driven down the mountain, neither of which was a good result. ”

Meng Jingluan said angrily, "My master is not that kind of person!" Yan Bi calmed down and thought about it, seemed to slowly understand something, and asked in a deep voice, "That brother of yours was ...... by him."

Hua Jian Zheng folded the fan and said coldly, "At this moment, you still have compassion, but because you are not deeply involved, you will sympathize with a demon, and when you are successful, your heart will naturally be cold, what is the fate of the demon?" It's just a stepping stone on your path to becoming stronger. ”

Meng Jingluan's ears rang loudly, she didn't know what it was like in her heart, she only felt ashamed and angry, her cheeks were hot, and she didn't know whether she was cold and familiar with his tone of seeing through the world, or for his weakness that he was willing to accept his fate, and shouted, "What you said is wrong, no matter what I cultivate in the future, my original intention will not change." If you treat me well, I will naturally repay him, depending on whether he is a demon or a demon, a human or a ghost! ”

"Confused!" Hanama Zheng seemed to be competing with her, shook his head and sneered, and asked rhetorically, "Why do you say such things?" When the time comes, the so-called righteous path and those righteous hypocrites will bind you, and you will be able to do whatever you want? If nothing else, what if your master wants you to kill me? Can you not do it, dare not do it? ”

Meng was shocked and roared, "I said that Master is not that kind of person!" I am grateful that he does not dislike my origins and takes me as an apprentice, and I do not believe that he will kill you for no reason! I don't believe it! Impulsively, she pushed Hanama Masa, who knew that the man was not wary at all, and actually put it on the purple bamboo behind her, and overwhelmed a piece of bamboo.

She watched the man slowly get up in disbelief, and after an epiphany, she regretted it, and hurriedly went to help, "Hanamamasa, I, I didn't mean it......" and dusted off the bamboo leaves on his clothes for him, while apologizing again and again, "Aren't you very powerful...... It's me who is reckless, it's me who is reckless! ”

The man pushed her hand away without a trace, his voice was weak, "Don't do your business...... he paused, stood firm, and resumed his usual tone, but it was also like a reluctant effort, "I just missed my whereabouts, and I had to fight with the old way of Penglai, and I suffered some internal injuries, and I will take care of it for a while, and it will be fine." ”

Meng Jingluan listened to his pretended casual tone, and felt even more sad, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he was silent.

She has always firmly believed that good is good, evil is evil, and good and evil are not separated, and the two are clear. The right way is to eliminate evil and promote good for the benefit of the world, but now it seems that this is not the case.

What is evil and what is good? - She thought of the answer of the first and the real people, "Serve the Tao in your heart...... It is the way in the heart, and it is the right way in the world. ”

Hua Jianzheng has the same mind as hers, he cares about the old people, why doesn't she think about the thousands of souls in the Nianjiazhai day and night? What's wrong? Now and no matter how shallow her cultivation is, she has no way to do things at all, that is, one day she Meng Jingluan is really strong, can she take action against her fellow disciples who have different opinions?

- Can you?

Suddenly, she jumped onto the high rock where she practiced martial arts, and quickly climbed to the top. Staring into the distance, Penglai was already the remnant sun gradually falling, like pouring red gold to dye the bamboo forest. In the distance, the mountains are scattered, the clouds and mist are shrouded, the waterfalls are turbulent, and the star hall is Luobu.

And all this is something that cannot be imagined in Nianjiazhai.

"Hanamamasa." She took a deep breath, spit it out again, and said solemnly, "Now that I am an ant generation, I don't have to take it seriously, and what I say is just big words." But I won't always be so weak, you have seen me go from an outsider to an orthodox disciple of Penglai, from now on, I will let you see my longer journey. At that time, I will let you know that my principles, the 'Dao' in my heart, are above the so-called laws of the Six Realms! ”

She looked back, and was meeting the eyes of Hua Jianzheng, and the two looked at each other for a long time, his lips moved, and finally only three words were spoken.

"I'll wait."

"Okay."

The atmosphere was only solemn for a while, and the man returned to laughing, "I said Meng Jingluan, you are really condescending to cultivate with this old Taoist in Penglai, you have such a good tongue, if you go to Kyoto, as soon as this word comes out, you will soon be able to catch up with the storyteller!" ”

Meng Jingluan jumped off the high stone, hating him so much that he only had to hammer him, but he was afraid that he would be injured, so he had to stop, "My name is Wenwen and Wushuangquan, if I am a man going to Beijing to take the exam, I am also a Tanhualang, what do you know!" ”

Hanama seemed to see through her thoughts, and her mouth became more and more unobstructed, "Look at the way you look excited, this is thanks to your master's absence, if you see it, you still think I gave you ......" Then there was a self-evident debauched laugh.

Meng Jingluan pointed at him tremblingly, and laughed angrily, "Okay, okay, Hua Jianzheng, you stand up for me and don't move——"

"It's weird."

As soon as the man flicked the folding fan, he saw flowers flying all over the corners of his clothes, and when he turned around, he disappeared in an instant, just like last time.

"If you have the ability, don't always use this trick!!" Meng Luan couldn't stop being angry, and with a casual glance, he saw a piece of beautiful jade falling from the ground, pierced by a thin red rope, exuding a warm luster.
