Chapter 40: The Maze
Suddenly speechless, she quickly took her breath away, and said, "In short, I don't think Senior Brother Song should be treated as a ...... Feng Yiting is getting more and more excessive, and my brother actually doesn't like it very much, you, you should pay more attention to yourself!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned and ran away, merging in the middle of the maidens and going up the hillside.
Song Yi stood in place, savoring her words.
The younger sister of the vice-president of the Grace Court...... She told herself this, reminding herself to be careful, was she naΓ―ve and ignorant of the world, so she leaked her brother's details in advance?
β...... Not like. The voice in his head interjected: "You told me that there is a discipline called 'psychology' over there, which specializes in the study of people's mentality, words, deeds and thoughts, saying that people's words and deeds are not isolated, and will be affected by the surrounding environment, especially a teenage girl like her, whose thoughts are not independent and mature enough, what to do, what not to do, how to do, how to do, more or less follow the guidance of people close to you." β
"Well, that's good. β
The original "Song Yi" was not good at cultivation, but his mind in other aspects was very bright, and when he told him about his knowledge, he understood it at once.
Song Yi nodded, if she was an old friend of Xue Xiaoxi and had a deep friendship with her, then it made sense for her to risk offending her brother to tell herself. However, today Song Yi met her for the first time, he didn't think that people fell in love with him at first sight, and immediately abandoned his brother and took refuge in him, acting in a beautiful girl's discerning and talented scene.
So, the most likely scenario is......
"I think maybe her brother has revealed some ...... to you when he talks to her about these things every day Sympathy?"
"I'm not sure if it's sympathy, but there must be dissatisfaction with the current practices of the Wind Rite Court, including disapproval of the elimination of me. Song Yi took over the conversation: "However, this vice court master is complaining to his relatives in private, and he will not really make Ji Yushu's rebellion, after all, there is still the future head of the Tianji Elder watching above, right?"
"What the future head is, the matter is still undecided. The voice in his head snorted coldly, and his voice was disdainful: "I don't think the head of the house will be so confused, I really let this villain take the position." β
"Hmm. It's not officially announced yet, so everything is possible, let's see. β
Leaving this place, Song Yi strolled casually, unconsciously came to a valley, only to see a few buildings scattered and distributed, among which a bay of clear water gurgled away, green trees are shady, clusters of red flowers bloom just right, birds cry around, occasionally you can see a few young people shuttling between buildings, like a quiet and peaceful small village.
"What kind of place is this?" Song asked.
"This is the residence of several masters under Elder Yuheng, and I have only heard about it, and I haven't gone in to visit it yet. β
Elder Yuheng...... Song Yile is happy, is this where Master Lin lives? Let's go over and take a look.
Walking to the outside of a courtyard, the courtyard door was open, Song Yi looked in, and suddenly saw a familiar face: Master Lin's apprentice. It is the young man in Tsing Yi who is responsible for leading and accompanying him when he receives the promotion order in the main court of the lower court.
At this moment, he was standing in the courtyard sorting things, with a sword and a book beside him, as well as two open packages.
"Senior brother. Song Yi greeted him.
β...... Senior brother?"
As soon as he turned his head, he saw Song Yi standing at the gate of the courtyard, the young man showed a look of surprise on his face, put down his things and ran over, and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, Master just said that there was a guest coming to the door, and Senior Brother is here, please come in." β
"Is this Master Lin's courtyard?"
"Exactly. β
Entering with him, Song Yi looked around the courtyard curiously.
The courtyard is quite wide, the west side is all flat stone floor, which is convenient for the disciples to practice martial arts, and the east side is against the courtyard wall where there are several sets of tables and chairs, which I think are used by Master Lin to give lectures with his disciples. A young man sat in front of a table and chair, flanked by a young girl, holding a book and reading with relish. Seeing that there were visitors coming, they all closed the books in their hands, got up and nodded to Song Yi, which was quite elegant and gentle in the style of Master Lin.
In the west square, two young men practicing swords also stopped and saluted him.
Famous teachers and apprentices...... Song Yi couldn't help but sigh with emotion, Master Lin was elegant and amiable, and the disciples he taught were also polite and thoughtful.
This kind of scene where the master leads the initiates to live in harmony and learn from each other is really good, but it's a pity......
It's a pity that he has never enjoyed this kind of warm feeling, the master and the senior brother don't know where they went, whether they traveled in the same place, or they went to different paths, Song Yi didn't know anything about it, and now even the little brother has gone out and has not returned. Looking at the scene of brothers and sisters in this courtyard, Song Yi couldn't help but secretly envy in his heart, and inevitably felt a little lonely and lonely.
"Senior brother is here to visit Master, Master is inside, please come in. β
The young man in Tsing Yi took Song Yi to the door of the room, gently pushed open the door, and made a "please" gesture, Song Yi thanked him and stepped into the room.
A faint fragrance came to his face, followed by Master Lin's mellow voice.
"Song Yi is here, come and sit. β
The voice floated in the air, and seemed to be sneaking underwater, Song Yi felt a slight twitch on his temples, followed by a half second of dizziness on his head, he didn't take it seriously, he walked back to the room, and saw Master Lin sitting cross-legged on the couch under the window, with a low table next to him, flying needles and threads in his hands, and embroidering the cloth covering his knees.
Song Yi saluted her, disturbed by the voice, and was faintly a little short of words.
How do you speak? I came here without any preparation......
Walking to the neighborhood, he got up to visit on a whim, but when he really saw him, he was empty-handed, but it seemed abrupt. Although he really wanted to ask Master Lin about the knowledge of the magic circle, did he just say that?
I'm not a disciple of someone else, and I haven't had any friendship before, so don't be too thick-skinned......
Just as he was hesitating, Master Lin raised his head and smiled at him: "You kid, what are you doing in a daze, sit down and talk, sit down." β
She pointed to the empty chair beside her, and the miscellaneous thoughts in Song Yi's mind seemed to be erased in an instant, and she sat down.
When he sat down, Master Lin didn't speak again, and continued to bow his head to embroider, Song Yi didn't dare to break the silence easily, silently staring at her movements, only to see that the embroidery on her lap was full of colors, surrounded by gold and silver threads, and intertwined with colors, forming an extremely delicate and complex pattern, like some kind of totem, and like a silent spell.
Staring at this gorgeous and exquisite picture, Song Yi's eyes seemed to be sucked by something, and he couldn't move away at all, and his body involuntarily leaned forward slightly.
Master Lin's embroidery has not yet been completed, and there are still some places where the outline is only outlined, and the silk thread has not yet been applied, but in Song Yi's eyes, those unfinished parts have gradually taken on the appearance, covering the silk thread, blending light and shadow, converging brilliance, jumping alive, and gorgeous.
This pattern seemed to gradually flow, like clouds in the sky, like a whirlpool in the water, firmly absorbing Song Yi's sight, making his mind gradually chaotic, and the whole person seemed to be split in half.
Half were sitting here, staring intently at Master Lin's embroidery;
Half of it slowly fell into the bottomless chaos, and his mind was in a state of silence, as if he were asleep.
......
I don't know how long it has been, Song Yi suddenly heard a "ding dong" sound in his ears, and the whole person was shocked, and he immediately came back to his senses.
How did you just ...... I guess I was dazzled. He was a little embarrassed, closed his eyes, rubbed his eyebrows, and went to see Master Lin again, but was surprised to see that the couch was empty, and the half-embroidered cloth was placed there, but the pattern had been completed.
This is......
Song Yi was startled and stood up suddenly, he clearly remembered that when he came in, this pattern was only halfway embroidered, how could it be ...... at this time He immediately turned his head to look out the window, only to see that the vast twilight was falling, the courtyard was empty, and the cool wind blew in through the window, making Song Yi shiver for a while.
What's going on?!
How so?
He remembered very well that he had just walked in, and it would only be five minutes at most, why was it dark in the blink of an eye?
By the way, Song Yi forced himself to calm down, he remembered that he was watching Master Lin's embroidery at the time, and Master Lin was ......
What about Master Lin?
As soon as he thought of this, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, Song Yi turned around, and saw the young man in Tsing Yi walking in with a smile, holding a cup in his hand, and said to him: "Senior brother is frightened, you should be thirsty after sitting for a long time, drink saliva, let's go eat, Master will explain to you, and please don't complain about Master, we have no malice, no malice." β
"This ......" Song Yi took the cup, the whole person was a little confused, and it took a few sips of water to come back to his senses.
He understood that he must have fallen for Master Lin's calculations, and he sat in such ignorance for most of the day, fortunately he was here with Master Lin, if he was having an affair, how could he still be alive......
Thinking of this, Song Yi couldn't help but be slightly afraid, and couldn't help asking, "What's the matter?" I was fine when I first came in, why did I ...... What kind of trick is this?"
"When I first came in, my brother was no longer good. β
The young man in Tsing Yi led him to the back hall, and said as he walked: "It should be said that from the moment the senior brother stepped into the courtyard door, it was equivalent to stepping into the net laid by the master, and the next things were logical. β
"What do you mean...... Is this a circle?"
After a little thought, Song Yi had grasped the key.
"Senior brother is really smart, no wonder Master said that he wanted to test you, you can wake up early, Master is also surprised. β
"......Wake up," Song Yi recalled the previous moment, and shook his head slightly: "I heard a sound, like the sound of something knocking, and I came back to my senses at once." β
"It was me who rang the bell outside the window. The young man in Tsing Yi stopped, turned around and raised two fingers at Song Yi, and grinned: "The second time." β
"What?"
"My brother came before noon, and two hours later, I rang the bell once under the window, and you didn't move, and then I came to ring it a second time, and you were awakened. β
β...... What do you mean. β
"It's a record-break. β
The young man smiled, and pulled out a golden bell from behind him like a trick, only the size of a palm, and the attached percussion lever was only a finger long, he picked it up and struck it at the bell.
Jingling!
A familiar voice sounded, and Song Yi suddenly realized that this was the voice he had just heard! With this crisp sound, it seemed that a fresh breeze poured into his chest, and the whole person was refreshed.
