Chapter 12: Speculation
The wind and rain were still blowing, and Xing Mo followed the disciples to cross the Suoyun Bridge standing on the edge of the peach forest in the East China Sea, and came to the residence of everyone on the top of the back mountain.
Since then, everyone's mood has gradually calmed down, and a few people who walked in front of Xingmo talked from time to time.
"I thought that Jin Xian was very kind, but I never thought it was really scary just now. ”
One person lowered his voice, "I'm afraid that what happened just now touched the bottom line of Taiqingtian." ”
The two nodded, "It turns out that Master Cui is so afraid of Jin Xian, and Jin Xian will be the prison of Yuan Qingguan after today." Although the prison is not as good as the Guan Master, but looking at the current posture, who will say what Yuan Qingguan will say in the future?"
"Hmph, naturally it's what Jin Xian said. ”
A female voice was coquettish, with some liveliness, "This is not necessarily, Jin Xian is about the most deacon." Since he is a prison officer, he will not overstep his own duties, and it is still what Master Cui said. ”
"I think it's the same, until the last resort, Jin Xian will not take out the identity and identity of Taiqing Tianjin Immortal to interfere in Master Cui's affairs. ”
When several people heard this, they all nodded.
The girl who spoke was right in front of Xingmo, she wiped the rain from her face with her hand, and glanced at Xingmo.
"Have you been at the edge of the peach forest in the East China Sea just now?" she looked at Xing Mo with wide eyes.
Xing Mo saw her talking to herself, so she nodded.
"You must have been frightened about what just happened, right?" she said, a little worried and frightened.
Xing Mo wasn't so frightened, but she really had some heart palpitations. Because she used her mortal body to fight against these East Sea Yakshas, and resisting was just a struggle for survival with no chance of victory, and the feeling of being slaughtered by others was very bad, very bad.
Fortunately, there is Twilight Yulu by her side, otherwise I am afraid that she is about to pass through Sunset Valley again and meet Huang Sanlang.
Xing Mo only replied: "It's a little frightened." ”
The girl saw that Xing Mo was wearing thin, so she took off one of her gauze coats and draped it over Xing Mo's shoulders, although this cover had also been soaked by the rain.
She smiled at Xingmo, "It's just an accident, don't worry." Yuan Qingguan doesn't have so many things on weekdays. On the contrary, it is very usual, and it is very boring. ”
Xing Mo was a little embarrassed to be taken care of by her so much. Because she herself is not as weak as she seems, it is probably because of her thinness and habit of not being able to talk too much, which makes her think that she is overly frightened. But she still thanked this little Taoist boy from the bottom of her heart.
By this time, many had returned to their homes, and there were few people left in the group. The young man in front of him named Nua Qingmiao turned around and nodded at Xingmo.
"There are not many dwellings on the top of the mountain, only one next to the cliff. No one has lived in it for a long time, and no one has renovated it, so I'm afraid it's not very good. Xingmo, are you going to take a look?"
Xi Xingmo was helpless, but there was no way, so she had to nod, "Okay, let's take me over." ”
The two of them were about to leave, when the girl behind Xing Mo spoke: "Wait." Why don't you share a room with me?"
Xing Mo turned around, "This...... Isn't it causing you trouble?"
Nush Qingmiao smiled at the two of them, "Ting Ruo's idea is good, that is, if you save your energy to clean up the new house, you two won't be lonely and bored living together." ”
The girl named Tingruo smiled brightly at Nua Qingmiao, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. is a little coquettish, "Senior Brother Qingmao rarely praises me, but this time he praised me because of Xingmo." ”
The girl named Cui Haoqing next to Nua Qingmiao had a faint face, and she couldn't see joy or anger.
On the contrary, it was a pink goose-faced girl next to Cui Haoqing whose willow eyebrows were a little aroused, and her beautiful eyes seemed to be disdainful, she was the one who often followed Lian Xiangu's side.
Looking at Ting Ruo and Nua Qingmiao's smiles, he was a little impatient, "The rain is so heavy, let's go back to the room quickly." As he spoke, he pulled the corner of Cui Haoqing's sleeve.
Cui Haoqing smiled at her, in fact, these people don't care whether the rain is heavy or not, whether the sun is scorching or not, because they practice martial arts all year round to exercise their muscles and bones, regardless of cold, summer, wind and rain, and they also consult the scriptures and Taoism in the Laojun Pavilion on Laojun Peak every day to hone their minds.
But Cui Haoqing still smiled at Nuan Qingmiao, "Senior brother, the rain is heavy, Xing Mo is afraid that he can't stand it." Let's go back quickly. ”
Nuan Qingmiao nodded at her, and then said to Xingmo and Ting Ruo: "Ting Ruo, don't forget to take Xingmo to Laojun Pavilion early tomorrow morning." If you don't miss the time of practice, it will be useless. ”
Ting Ruo nodded, "Senior brother, don't worry, I won't forget it." ”
Numa Qingmiao looked at Ting Ruo's round face and her smile, and her mood would be much better.
Cui Haoqing continued: "Today's father, I'm afraid they won't be easy. The golden immortal seems to have entered the East China Sea, and his father may not be in the view. Tomorrow's morning class will ask you to help Lian Xian Gu more, it will be tired, let's go back. ”
Cui Haoqing is the only daughter of Cui Xuanzhong, the lord of the Yuanqing Temple.
Ting Ruo understood Cui Haoqing's words, "Yes, senior sister, you go back, I will take Xingmo back." ”
After that, he stretched out his hand to pull one of Xingmo's hands, but unexpectedly, there seemed to be something in Xingmo's hand.
Ting Ruo was a little surprised, "Xingmo, do you have a sword in your hand?"
Nua Qingmiao, Cui Haoqing, and another girl, who had already turned around, all turned back and looked at Xingmo in surprise.
Xing Mo realized that the sword he had just fought with the East China Sea Yaksha in the peach forest of the East China Sea for self-protection was still in his hand, but it was dark and no one paid attention.
She raised her sword, "It's just that just to protect myself, this sword has also protected me from the attacks of the Tokai Yaksha several times." ”
Ting Ruo was not without interest, "So, you know martial arts?"
Xing Mo nodded, "There will be some." ”
Nua Qingmiao smiled: "That's good, Ting Ruo, your skills are too poor." With Xing Mo with you, you should ask others for advice. Xing Mo can escape unharmed from the hands of the East China Sea Yaksha, and he must be a master. ”
Even Cui Haoqing on the side was nodding, "Yes, you have such courage and skills at such an age." It is rare in the Yuan Qing Temple. As long as you comprehend the Tao and Dharma thoroughly and quickly, your cultivation will not be slow. ”
As he spoke, he glanced at the beautiful girl beside him, "Shuling, I'm afraid you won't be able to deal with a lot of Donghai Yasha." ”
Nuan Qingmiao also said: "I almost forgot Senior Sister Gu, Xing Mo, she is Gu Shuling, who is in the top five in Yuanqing Guan Xiuwei and strength. Similar to you, she is also from the mortal world, not from other palaces. ”
Gu Shuling heard what Nuan Qingmiao said, so she bowed slightly to Xingmo, "As Senior Brother Qingmiao said, my family is in the mortal world, and I am a person in the court. is not a monk wizard, let alone a palace view. But after entering the Yuan Qingguan, everyone is equal. As long as you work hard, there will always be gains. ”
Xing Mo smiled at her, "Thank you, Senior Sister Gu, I remember your words." ”
Everyone didn't say much this time, and left one after another, it was already late, and the rain still didn't stop.
Xing Mo followed Ting Ruo to her small courtyard, and when the two entered the house, they set up a charcoal basin, took off their wet clothes and put them on the side of the charcoal basin to bake.
Ting Ruo was busy boiling water and making beds. She is also such a half-old child, and Xing Mo admires her for being able to tidy up her house so well alone.
After the hot water was boiled, the two sat together in a large wooden barrel and bathed face to face. The water vapor was steaming, and Xingmo felt comfortable and tired.
Ting Ruo chatted with her a lot, such as Xingmo's past, Xingmo and the Immortal Monarch Qianqiu Hongkun, and even the small battle on the sea cliff by the peach forest in the East China Sea tonight.
Ting Ruo's face was a little red from the steaming of the hot water, "Then you haven't officially entered the Yuan Qingguan yet." In fact, I have been in Yuanqingguan for many years, but I haven't learned much of the real Taoism. ”
Xing Mo felt relieved, and couldn't help laughing: "Why is this? ”
Ting Ruo's eyes were still closed. grinning, "Because I'm not a disciple of Master Cui's favor." Only those disciples who can get Cui Xianzun's liking in this entire Yuanqing Temple can get the guidance of Cui Xianzun himself. These people, such as Senior Brother Qingmiao, Senior Sister Cui Haoqing, and that Gu Shuling. ”
Xing Mo also closed her eyes and enjoyed the comfort of the hot bath, "Because you are not good enough, are you not loved by Cui Xuanzhong?"
"No! I'm not always so mediocre! Before I entered the Yuan Qingguan, and when I first entered the Yuan Qingguan, I was very good. I can never forget every obscure scripture, and I can immediately grasp every set of martial arts techniques.
But at that time, Cui Shizun was not in Yuanqingguan, but traveled out of the mountains. But when he came back, I didn't feel like I could learn anything so quickly. So, he didn't know about my past, and he didn't see my qualifications. ”
Xing Mo seemed to sense Ting Ruo's indignation and opened her eyes to look at her.
"Otherwise, with the way I am now, it is impossible to enter the Yuan Qingguan. I was able to enter the Yuan Qingguan because of my extraordinary qualifications. But not anymore, I find it difficult and slow to learn anything. ”
Xing Mo didn't know how to persuade her, "Jin Xian just told me that the past will never come back, so I have to live a good future." It's not your fault. ”
Ting Ruo slowly slowed down his mood and changed the subject, "As soon as Jin Xian arrived at Yuanqingguan, he went to the East China Sea. It's not easy to see. ”
"It looks like there's a big war on the horizon. Xing Mo frowned and looked at the window on the side of the tub.
Outside the window, the sky grew darker and darker, and several bolts of blue lightning pierced the sky and the sea.
......
Gu Shuling returned to her residence, but she never thought that Immortal Lian Gu was already in her room.
"Grandma, why did you come so late at night and still haven't rested?" Gu Shuling was a little puzzled.
Lian Xian Gu made a cup of tea and tasted it to herself. "Shu Ling, the Three Realms are turbulent, and there is a Golden Immortal Dusk Yuyu Nether Realm who came to Yuan Qingguan as a prison court, which shows how much importance the Heavenly Realm attaches to this Immortal Ceremony.
Your grandmother and I are just scattered immortals in the mortal realm, and I think I missed the opportunity to rank among the eight immortals back then...... Instead, she was given the upper hand...... I am not qualified to set foot in Taiqingtian."
She looked at the tea in the teacup a little stupidly, slowly spinning in the cup.
After a while, he said, "Alas...... Don't mention it. It's just that you, if you have ambitions, you must seize the opportunity of this immortal ceremony, so that you can become the immortal of Taiqing Heaven and glorify our clan. ”
Gu Shuling nodded, "I understand this, grandma rest assured." ”
After that, he seemed to think of something, and asked, "Does Grandma know the background of the new person today?"
Lian Immortal Gu asked Gu Shuling to sit beside her, "You mean that Xingmo, I also wondered, I had never heard of Qianqiu Hongkun having any relatives and friends from a mortal family before. I don't know what the hell is the origin of this sunset star. ”
Gu Shuling frowned, "She knows martial arts, and she is very powerful." But he is indeed a mortal. And her surname is Xi ......"
Lotus Immortal Gu took another sip of tea, "What, are you afraid that she will threaten your Immortal Path?"
Gu Shuling thoughtfully touched the blue satin sachet embroidered with Danhe Xiangyun on her waist. But he was still preoccupied, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"What do I think...... She looks like a remnant of the Xi family?"
