Chapter 361: Mirror

The river is clear and the moonlight is broken.

Mu Shijing, who was drenched in water, sat on the rocks on the shore, bent his legs, and slowly peeled off the thin black socks along the jade legs.

Ice silk snow socks are invasive, so there is no trace of water stains on the legs in the stockings, the pen is dry, the girl's calves are graceful, the jade feet are slender, and the curled toes are like neatly arranged pearls.

Lin Shouxi sat beside her, trying to talk to her, but Mu Shijing wrinkled his little face and ignored her.

Just now, after she was forcefully pulled into the water by Lin Shouxi, Mu Shijing picked up the river water and fought back, clinker Lin Shouxi had no martial virtues, and directly concocted two giant water crossbows with the law of the sword scriptures, suspended behind him like wings.

"My current identity is the Dragon King of Xijing City." He also said seriously.

There is no suspense in this water fight, Mu Shijing was carried by Lin Shouxi with a double crossbow, chased and ran all over the river, and was once washed so that his eyes were difficult to open, so he could only escape into the river, and it was in vain to escape, Lin Shouxi turned water into a whip and gently wrapped her waist, only for a moment, the girl was forced to fall into her arms.

In the end, Mu Shijing had to surrender in humiliation and admit defeat.

After going ashore, Mu Shijing's skirt was soaked by the river, wet and cold.

She ordered Lin Shouxi to help her dry her skirt, and Lin Shouxi readily agreed, but when he ran the Sword Sutra, the water between Mu Shijing's skirts seemed to be endowed with vitality, and they swept over every inch of the girl's skin in an instant, Mu Shijing couldn't suppress his humming, and his cheeks turned even redder.

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

She held her cheeks in her hands, sulking coldly, not paying any attention to the robber who claimed to be the dragon king.

Chu Yingchan sat quietly on the side, her white boots were placed at her side, she looked over this way, and there was a surging smile between her eyebrows.

In the middle of the night after the turmoil in the Ghost Buddha Temple, the West Pure City was unusually quiet.

The wind blows along the riverbank, pure and crisp, very different from the dryness of the vast desert wasteland, as if from the legendary unbounded snow-capped mountains.

They just sat quietly on the shore.

The evening breeze softened the girl's eyebrows.

Mu Shijing looked to the east, her eyes were still at the end of the thin sky, as if waiting for the sun to rise, as in the past countless years, emptiness and loneliness blew from the memories far away, making her lose her mind for a long time, until Lin Shouxi hugged her from behind, and her soul seemed to re-inhabit the thin flesh and blood.

It's getting dawn.

Nothing happened in the city again.

Early morning.

The three of them walked back along the cobblestone road.

Mu Shijing didn't wear shoes, she stepped on the pebbles with her bare feet, feeling the pain of the stone and the heart of her feet, she liked this feeling, only in this way did she feel that the earth was so solid.

Along the way, they held hands, and no one spoke.

Return to the inn.

Mu Shijing washed her body with hot water first, and then, she took the loot she bought and went to the roof alone, sitting on the ground, meditating, Lin Shouxi wanted to accompany her several times, but was driven down fiercely, Mu Shijing said that she didn't want to disturb their master and apprentice, and she didn't want their master and apprentice to disturb her.

Lin Shouxi returned to the room, Chu Yingchan was sitting at the table and looking at her with a smile, she was dusting in her arms, and a lamp with a fire was lit beside her.

"Hit a wall again?"

Chu Yingchan smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, although Senior Sister Mu has a cloudy temperament, such a small fight is usually good for a good sleep." ”

"Get ...... sleep"

Lin Shouxi muttered and asked, "How do you sleep?" ”

"Do you want to teach the disciples for the teacher?" Chu Yingchan asked.

"Please give me advice."

Lin Shouxi said, just caught a glimpse of the dust in her arms.

The snow-white fox tail lay in her arms, not disobedient at all, but full of fairy spirit, he couldn't help but think of the palace language that likes to wrap the arms around the white fox, the restaurant said goodbye that day, Xiao Yu didn't know what was stirring up, but he was not too worried, Xiao Yu had already grown up, and he was no longer the little girl who needed his help to write a battle plan.

"While shouting for master's advice, I thought to other women, how could I accept a criminal like you?" Chu Yingchan said quietly.

"How do you know ......?"

"I just know."

Chu Yingchan directly interrupted his words, and threw the dust on his shoulder, as if to dust off the dust.

Lin Shouxi subconsciously grabbed the dust.

The foxtail is like a bridge, connecting them.

Chu Yingchan smiled.

Suddenly, there was a strong wind.

The windows happen to be closed by the wind.

Mu Shijing, who was meditating upstairs, opened his eyes.

She suddenly remembered that the package she bought in Youting Yaju seemed to have fallen in the room, this was something she spent money to buy, and it must not be cheap for this pair of rebellious teachers and apprentices!

This is the most important thing compared to cultivation!

Mu Shijing hurriedly got up and jumped down from the ridge of the house, wanting to return to the house, but he didn't expect that the windows of the house had been closed.

"How dare you close the window?"

Mu Shijing thought that they were afraid of coming back, so she deliberately closed the window, very angry, she put her ear to the window, her perception spread like a red line, and the sounds in the house flowed into her ears one after another.

The sun rose in the east, shining on her dress, and her neck and cheeks were the same color as the morning glow.

Mu Shijing didn't listen anymore and left lightly.

Back on the roof, Mu Shijing had no intention of practicing.

She looked at the light spraying from the sky, and always felt that she was embarrassing the pale.

She tried to pull herself together, but she couldn't.

"Hmph, you don't want to use this power completely for me, you deserve to be ashamed." Mu Shijing felt that this must be the fault of the pale.

It's no longer possible to practice.

Mu Shijing began to count today's gains, and looked at it over and over again, and it seemed that only this fairy mirror was of some use...... Well, use it as a normal mirror.

As for the rest...... No matter how you say it, it can be regarded as a promising future, just like yourself at the peak of the Hunjin Realm!

Mu Shijing was lying alone on the roof.

The sky is getting brighter.

By the time she remembered that she didn't have to go through the window and could take the key back to her room from the front, it was already noon.

The house was in chaos as always.

Lin Shouxi and Chu Yingchan hugged each other and slept before they woke up, their clothes were neatly placed on the wooden cabinet at the head of the bed.

Mu Shijing was accustomed to it, didn't say anything, and just took his package.

She tapped the package.

One tail is missing.

Mu Shijing looked left and right.

"Oh, that's here."

Mu Shijing's eyes were sharp, and he quickly discovered the location of the tail - under the snow-white brocade quilt, the same snow-white tail was exposed, and it hung quietly on the bed board.

Mu Shijing didn't think much about it, she just wanted to take back the dust, so she came to the side of the bed and pulled hard.

The fairy woke up with a soft hum, her eyelashes fluttered, and she stared at Mu Shijing suspiciously, as if asking.

Then, she said, "If you ...... this foxtail."

"No, don't, Sister Chu likes it so much, just give it to Sister Chu."

Mu Shijing didn't know what he thought, so he said this and fled.

Chu Yingchan's eyebrows frowned slightly.

She easily took out the fake fox tail that she accidentally suppressed while sleeping, placed it by the window, and then shook her head helplessly: "What is this girl thinking about all day?" ”

……

Afternoon.

As if nothing had happened.

In front of the fairy mirror, Chu Yingchan and Mu Shijing sat together, and Lin Shouxi combed their hair.

The teeth of the wooden comb sink into the dark hair, like a wooden boat flowing down a waterfall.

In the mirror, the two Daomen fairies seemed to be competing in a boring game of who would lose if they blinked first, Mu Shijing had a serious expression and wide eyes, while Chu Yingchan was much smarter, and she threw a look of help to Lin Shouxi through the mirror.

"No cheating."

Lin Shouxi selectively did justice, and he punishively twisted Chu Yingchan's most sensitive waist.

The fairy closed her eyes and looked resentful.

"Oh...... Little sister still wants to cheat? Mu Shijing was stunned.

"I didn't."

"Dare to be hard-mouthed? Well? ”

"Okay, okay, I know I'm wrong." Chu Yingchan softened slightly.

"What's wrong?" Mu Shijing asked.

"It's ...... wrong"

Chu Yingchan thought for a while and said in a low voice: "The mistake is that I believe in this flowery radish that betrayed the master." ”

"What did Master say?" Lin Shouxi asked with a smile.

"Nothing." Chu Yingchan pursed her lips.

The young men and girls attacked in groups, Chu Yingchan's two fists were invincible with four hands, and soon begged for mercy again and again in their offensive.

Mu Shijing was in a good mood, she felt that she was always bullied in the past, it must be because she was too upright.

Comb your hair and tie it in a bun.

The three of them packed up their soft bags, went out together, left Xijing City, and led the unicorn on the road to the west.

Out of the ancient city, the sense of desolation came back to the face.

The carriage left ruts.

The ruts flow to the barren valleys where the grass is withered and yellow.

Wind and sand are blowing.

……

Water droplets are dropped into the bottle.

The ripples spread out in circles, countless bubbles poured up from under the water, turning the blue liquid into white, and the slender glass needle tube took out a trace of white liquid, and accurately dripped into a round bottle, the bottle shook slightly, and the frost covered the walls of the cup.

The whole process went smoothly, and until the last step was completed, the girl's hand still did not tremble.

"Awesome."

Yin Tan clapped his hands and said, "Senior sister can learn things really quickly, in just one day, she has figured out the process of refining the essence of ice and snow. ”

"It's my sister who taught me well."

Xiao He took off the mask covering her mouth and nose, revealing a clear and moving face, she smiled at Yin Tan, quiet and gentle.

She has been in Xijiang for a long time.

These days are calm and gentle for her.

In the morning, she immersed herself in the library, reading the books collected by her sister, which was rich in books, and she not only picked them, but also helped restore several broken and unique ancient books. Under the influence of the Zhenshou inheritance, she can read any book quickly, her mind is like a sword blade that is pushed out flat, and she can easily read the obscure and difficult sentences in the eyes of others.

Over time, in the past, I always liked to be a fierce girl, when she sat quietly by the window and read, she had a rare bookish atmosphere, elegant and quiet, and her eyebrows were soft, just like the solid color bouquet in the glazed white porcelain vase.

In the afternoon, she would go to be her sister's assistant, helping her to make all kinds of mechanical devices or alchemy, the room where the senior sister used for experiments was very large, all kinds of facilities were available, and it looked very serious and sophisticated, so the statue placed by the window seemed particularly out of place.

"Oh, this, this is the image of the patriarch, when I encounter difficulties, I can bow to the patriarch and ask him to bless the old man." When Xiao He asked for the first time, Yin Tan replied like this.

"Does it work?"

"Of course it doesn't work."

Yin Tan said as a matter of course: "Is it important or not, when people are in trouble, they always have to find some spiritual comfort, right?" ”

Xiao He nodded lightly.

After that, she started a busy and peaceful career with her senior sister.

Yin Tan was quite satisfied with this little girl.

"In the past, when I was busy here, I also thought about recruiting people to help, but the people who recruited didn't have the spirit of hardship and hard work at all, but they couldn't stand it every day from Chenshi to Haishi, and they ran faster than the other, hey, the young people now are really disappointing Senior Sister." Yin Tan said: "It's better to be Xiaohe." ”

"Where am I?" Xiao He asked.

"Xiao He is willing to read and study, not to mention, but also to work hard, accompany my senior sister to do research without sleep, and the most important thing is that you are my little junior sister, I don't have to pay monthly money, how good." Yin Tan gave a thumbs up.

"Thank you, senior sister, for the compliment."

Xiao He knew that her senior sister was joking with herself, besides, she didn't feel tired, when she saw the wooden sparrow she made with her own hands flying around in the air, and finally stopped back on her shoulder, she felt indescribably happy, as if it was a fresh and agile life that stopped on her shoulder.

In the evening, Xiao He rarely goes shopping and rests for a while.

The western frontier is particularly desolate, the demons are reluctant to attack, and the people here live in poverty but quiet.

The streets are as straight as the customs of the western frontier, and it is not winding, but even if it is just a simple path, she can go around alone for a long time while eating pastries, and she will not be tired of the scenery that has been repeated several times in front of her.

When the sun sets, you can see the long smoke and sunset unique to the wilderness when you look at it from the river.

She came to the river, took off her shoes and socks as always, and soaked her small, delicate, green and faint jade feet in the cool river water, the cold touch soaked her body, and she raised her eyes to look at the sunset.

The sun sets over the clouds.

Heaven and earth are so open, as if the devil has promised a temptation, as if as long as there is a lonely courage, you can pick up a spear, and gallop away alone, chasing the freedom beyond the ethereal mountain. But heaven and earth are also narrow, most of the human beings are besieged in the city walls, where the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of a lifetime are exhausted, if heaven and earth are furnaces, then the sun is the elixir refined by the mother goddess, and now, this elixir is being fed to the earth and the whole world. It is not an antidote, but it can make the world sleep.

The dappled light was drawn from the girl's white dress.

Xiao He lowered his head and watched the river continue to overflow his feet.

The long river under your feet flows endlessly, but it is so unfamiliar, as if it changes its appearance anytime and anywhere.

She pulled her little foot out of the water.

Putting on snow socks and stepping on small pear-white shoes, the girl turned her back and walked around the wall that sheltered the wind and sand, and entered the abode of all beings, where the inhabitants had already known the fairy-like little girl and greeted her, and the children ran over to ask the fairy sister for blessings.

Xiao He is very patient.

When he returned home, Yin Tan was a little surprised.

"Why are you back?" Yin Tan asked.

"If you don't come back, where can you go?" Xiao He was puzzled.

"Xijing City in the east holds a ghost festival tonight, it's very lively, don't you want to take a look?" Yin Tan asked.

"Why didn't Senior Sister go?" Xiao He asked rhetorically.

"I am a cultivator, a cultivator is born with a mission, at this stage, it is our mission to kill the evil god and get rid of the dragon corpse, my talent is limited, and entering the personal god realm is the limit, far less than the master, so I have to work harder, they all say that studying these things is a sideway, a path, but the path is not opened up, and it can never become a great road, right?"

Yin Tan smiled and didn't stop what she was doing, she said: "My body is not my body, it is the Tao of the world, this narrow path, let me be the forerunner."

Of course she wants to go to Halloween, but she also doesn't want to put down her research.

There are festivals where people are there, and it is the eternal mission of the cultivators to protect the world, and she went to the Divine Guard Mountain to save the master before, and played with the younger generations for a few days, which is her biggest rest in a hundred years.

Xiao He stood at the door, looking at the busy figure of the second senior sister, her expression trembled.

"I'll help Senior Sister." Xiao He said seriously.

Senior Sister smiled.

A busy night.

When Xiao He came out of the dust-free house, the moon passed in the middle of the sky.

She said goodbye to her sister and walked back to her house.

There is a scratched wall on the road.

It is said that this is the trace left by the senior sister when she performed calculations on the wall 50 years ago, when there was a shortage of paper in western Xinjiang, and the senior sister used the walls of the earthen fortress as paper to deduce the calculation. When people woke up in the morning, they saw the dense writing on the walls that looked like heavenly letters, and thought it was a holy message from the gods, so they went to pay their respects.

No one can read it.

The wind and sand have eroded the traces of the year, and the legend of the Book of Heaven is rarely mentioned again.

Xiao He's fingers lightly touched the sand wall, and walked forward along the road, time staggered, and all the years turned into sand and dust at his fingertips.

Instead of going back to her room, she turned to another tulou.

Before leaving, the senior sister threw the key to her: "This is the key to that building, you go and take out the thunder guide, you will use it tomorrow, by the way, there are still some magic weapons in it, you help the senior sister sort it out and see if it can still be used." ”

"That Thunder Boot from one hundred and seventy-two years ago?"

"That's it."

So, Xiao He was ordered to pick up the old instrument that was ten times bigger than himself.

The tulou is very messy, and there are piles of miscellaneous magic weapons all over the ground, many of which have long been covered with dust, and they can't see the purpose clearly.

Xiao He sorted them out very carefully and categorized them one by one according to their use.

Time passed quietly, and it was early in the morning when the busy work was over.

Xiao He has stored all the magic weapons, but only one does not know how to place it.

It was a mirror, the edge of the mirror was badly corroded, and the polished and bright mirror surface was still visible, and the word 'zi' was engraved on the bottom of the handle. Xiao He knew that this mirror should have been a pair, but he couldn't find the other one.

"Oh, this one, it was lost many years ago."

Xiao He showed it to the senior sister, who looked up and replied.

"That's right."

Xiao He nodded, wanting to put this fairy mirror back in its place, but when she injected her true qi into it, the surface of the fairy mirror shook like water, and the picture gradually became clear from the mold lake through the mirror.
