Chapter 140: There is a Lotus Pond in the Heart Lake (Add a change to the brothers' monthly passes!) (4,000 words 2-in-1 chapter)
It's daylight.
The sun is shining.
But a certain corner of the lookout platform.
It brightened a little because of a woman's smile.
That's the feeling of a pair of owners who are either peeking or staring straight at them.
The Taoist ceremony is still going on, and it is nearing the end.
Not far from the bottom of the secluded mountain.
In a restaurant, it is also lively.
But.
There was one person who was out of step with the bustle of the city's celebrations.
Zhao Rong's face was expressionless at this time.
His smile had faded from the moment he had just begun.
Zhao Rong supported his chin with both hands, staring motionlessly at the corner above the water curtain, the tea in the teacup next to his arm was still full, but it was already cold.
The scene just now happened in front of Zhao Rong's eyes.
Scene after scene.
At the beginning, there was an unexpected little girl in a pink skirt who ran to hug Qingjun.
At that time, he still had a bad taste in his heart and made up some bloody stories.
For example, that little girl is Qingjun's child, and his child is his father...... Well, it seems that it has only been half a year since parting, and the children are so big?
It's just that he hasn't been happy for long.
The young man in white with a sword on his back came.
This young man with a sword on his back who couldn't see his face clearly made him look familiar, but then his eyes turned red.
The young man with the sword on his back didn't know what he said to Qingjun.
It actually made Qingjun laugh!
Zhao Rong suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of grief and indignation in his heart.
Ever since he had awakened the memories of his previous life, he hadn't seen Qingjun laugh!
Zhao Rong's heart was sour.
After that, the young man with the sword on his back made him suspicious.
Damn, why doesn't this guy leave? Lai next to Qingjun?
Wrong.
Why is Qingjun still talking to him?
Damn it!
How did they get so close?
If Su Xiaoxiao dared to do this, Zhao Rong would definitely spank her......
Concubine Zhao Lingfei actually kept a very normal distance from Jiang Chebai, but in his eyes, no matter how he looked at it, he felt close......
Zhao Rong's eyes stared at the water curtain without blinking.
I was jealous.
Although he hadn't met with Qingjun yet, he got Qingjun's reply.
But Zhao Rong is still domineering, and regards Qingjun as a forbidden.
"Puff~"
I can't help it.
Zhao Rong grimaced, "What are you laughing at?"
"Ahem, nothing. ”
Returning to the sword spirit, it is in a state of a special soul body, located in Zhao Rong's eyebrow chakra, it can see Zhao Rong's heart lake, but it can't peek into Zhao Rong's thoughts.
Usually, Zhao Rong communicates with it, but it is only equivalent to closing his mouth and speaking in his heart, which is different from his thoughts.
Although there are also a few forbidden secret techniques that can glimpse the minds of others, they can barely perform them at this time.
But it will not be used to die, because the thoughts in the lake of people's hearts are extremely complex, not to mention whether they can immediately find the useful thoughts that others are thinking about at the moment, just the huge amount of information will make it unbearable for the spirit body.
"Flutter!" Gui laughed again.
Zhao Rong said word by word: "You laugh at a fart!"
I didn't return it, and my heart was happy.
Although it can't read minds, because of the special soul body, you can see the color of Zhao Rong's heart lake.
This is a special perspective of the soul body, which can roughly know the emotions of others through the color of their hearts.
Gui took a look at the color of Zhao Rong's heart lake again.
Haha, wasn't it still a symbol of happiness just now?
Tut-tut, this color has never been seen before.
It's strange.
Gui coughed, and his tone was serious, "Zhao Rong, you have turned green." ”
"............" Zhao Rong.

Secluded mountain, looking at the platform.
The ceremony has come to an end.
Cheng Guilu and Lu Yao'er rode the colorful auspicious clouds, and left leisurely in the flying flowers, grand ceremonial music and everyone's blessings.
But the people who participated in the ceremony did not immediately descend the mountain.
Instead, he waited on the lookout platform.
Being able to hold a ceremony for Taoist couples on a secluded mountain is a high-level ceremony that has rarely been seen for hundreds of years.
Even the Great Sect of Wangque in the north of the Xinran Sect felt that the scenery was infinite.
And all the secluded mountains are given to the lady of the Xinran Sect, and everyone who goes up the mountain is allowed to take a purple flower down the mountain.
You must know that the purple clothes that bloom all over the mountain are not allowed to be picked privately on weekdays, even if they are the owners of several private houses on the mountain.
Therefore, although a purple flower does not seem to be of much use other than ornamentation, it symbolizes the connections and status of the recipient.
At this time, in the anticipation of everyone.
A group of beautiful female officers in purple slowly ascended to the lookout platform, with their steps, full of charm, and charming, all different.
They stood at the entrance to the lookout, and everyone who left received a purple flower.
The crowd was slowly queuing.
Concubine Zhao Lingfei had a cold and demure temperament, and she was not in a hurry to go down the mountain, so she waited slowly in the rear.
And Jiang Chebai felt closer to her after chatting with Zhao Lingfei just now, and he vaguely hid some thoughts in his heart, so he also stayed and waited in the rear with Zhao Lingfei.
Seeing this, Concubine Zhao Ling frowned lightly and asked, "Isn't Senior Brother Jiang in a hurry to leave? ”
"Don't worry, today is a day off. ”
Concubine Zhao Ling nodded lightly, without saying a word, and no longer looked at him, staring at the beautiful female official in front of her who was handing out purple flowers.
Today she came to participate in this Taoist ceremony.
In addition to the fact that one of the protagonists of this ceremony is Senior Sister Lu, who is good with her.
The main reason is that her teacher in Xiaoyao Mansion, Mr. Bai, asked her to fetch a purple flower and bring it back.
Not much.
Finally, it was the turn of the two.
Jiang Chebai stepped forward and took a purple-clothed flower from the purple-clothed female official.
But when it was Zhao Lingfei's turn to step forward, it was a coincidence that the purple flowers in the tray of the purple-clothed female official were gone.
Seeing this, Jiang Chebai's heart moved, and he raised the hand holding the flower, but before he could make a move, an ethereal voice sounded.
"Fairy, please wait a moment. ”
After speaking, the purple-clothed female officer turned around and came to an inconspicuous but extraordinarily brilliant flower tree, raised her hand and picked a fresh vermilion purple flower at will, and then handed it to Concubine Zhao Ling.
Concubine Zhao Lingfei took it, looked at it, thanked her, and left with Jiang Chebai.
The purple-clothed female officer stood in place, looking at the back of Zhao Lingfei leaving with a smile, and after a while, the female officer in the rear handed over a plate full of purple-clothed flowers, she turned her head to take it, and continued to distribute it.
Jiang Chebai and Concubine Zhao Lingzheng walked down the stairs of the Wangque Platform together.
He caught a glimpse of Concubine Zhao Lingfei bowing her head and caressing the petals of the purple clothed flower, so he handed over the purple flower-clothed flower in his hand, "Senior Sister Lingfei, I have given it to you." ”
Zhao Lingfei glanced at it, shook her head slightly, and didn't pick it up.
Jiang Chebai said helplessly: "I'm a layman, I can only appreciate the sword, it's useless to spend it, put it in my hand, I will throw it away when I go down the mountain, it's better for my sister to take it." ”
Concubine Zhao Lingfei remembered that Qian'er seemed to have talked to her before, and wanted to come to the secluded mountain to enjoy the purple clothes.
This time, Qian'er was trying, and she didn't get this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to go up the mountain, and the many purple clothes flowers in her hand were to be handed over to Mr. Bai.
Zhao Lingfei thought about it, thanked her, and took Jiang Chebai's purple flower at will.
The two of them walked down the lookout platform and went down the mountain.
——————
Inside a lively restaurant.
Zhao Rong's eyes were firmly fixed on the two blurred figures on the water curtain that were about to walk out of vision.
After seeing the man with the sword on his back hand something to Concubine Zhao Ling, the latter took it.
Zhao Rong, who had not moved at all, suddenly stood up.
He picked up the tea and drank it all, not even letting go of the tea leaves......
Zhao Rong lowered his head, gently arranged the teacup, covered the tea lid, and stood in place for three breaths.
He put down a spirit stone, and in the next second, he walked away quickly without looking back.
Leaving a group of curious guests, and the restaurant Xiaoer who stared at the spirit stone on the table.
Looking at the color of Zhao Rong's heart lake, he couldn't understand it, "Where is Zhao Dagongzi going, don't do stupid things, that person we met on the river last time, it's a Jindan sword cultivator......"
The sword spirit paused, and said again: "Why don't we put up with him first, go to Nanxiao Continent to practice for ten years and eight years, and then come back to find the field?"
Zhao Rong spit out two words lightly.
"Shut up. ”
——————
Jiang Chebai and Zhao Lingfei went down the mountain together.
Just now, Concubine Zhao Lingfei took the purple flower, which made him breathe a sigh of relief, and he was happy in his heart.
But.
At this time, he paid attention to Zhao Lingfei and found that she had been looking ahead all the way, and did not turn her head to look at him.
Moreover.
also kept a distance from him that made him feel uncomfortable.
It's like a chasm.
He wanted to leap across, even if it was a little closer.
But Jiang Chebai didn't dare a little.
He fell into some kind of tangle on the way down the mountain.
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the exit at the bottom of the mountain, Jiang Chebai wanted to slow down, but the footsteps of the woman next to him were still fast, and he had to go further.
Jiang Chebai suffered from gains and losses for a while.
He knew that Concubine Zhao Ling's temperament was cold, arrogant, not much to say, and concentrated on cultivation.
Because in a sense, he is also a kind of person...... At least it used to be.
So he understands that except for a very few who are really cold, most of them are cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and the coldness is just because he didn't meet the right person.
And once you have a love for someone, it is likely to be a lifetime, and you can no longer pretend to be anyone else.
According to his observations, Zhao Lingfei didn't seem to have any traces of other men around her, and she didn't see any men other than the division commander mentioned when chatting.
But not having it now does not mean that it will not be in the future, and if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if.
What if, like him, he suddenly encounters it?
Besides, what the hell did she think, it seems that they have known each other for a long time......
Concubine Zhao Lingfei didn't know that Senior Brother Jiang, who had met no more than ten times in her impression, had so many thoughts, but focused on going down the mountain.
Because of today's trip to the secluded mountains.
The red color all over the mountains, as well as the happy appearance of Senior Sister Lu in a wind robe, made her vaguely recall a night that was also red.
Zhao Lingfei slightly closed her long and narrow eyes like autumn water, and looked ahead without squinting.
A white dress walked through a dazzling flower forest like a wedding dress.
At this time, above her heart lake, the scene is peculiar.
It's a lotus pond.
If you can take a look, you will definitely praise it for being half the level of the year......
With such a vision of the heart lake, there must be no doubt that it is the first-class sword immortal embryo in the world that has never fallen throughout the ages.
But.
At this time, this lotus pond is in a special state, as far as the eye can see, there is no pond water, only full of pond silt, and there is a green lotus in the pond but still stands vigorously, not stained with silt, not vines and branches, pavilions and pure plants.
This bizarre scene, half withered and half vibrant, it seems that the splendid green lotus is extremely charming.
Without a source of living water, it loses the great meaning of a Confucian sage's poem, "clear ripples but not demons".
If you look closely, you can find that there are two flying swords hidden in the lotus pond of this heart lake.
A dazzling stalk, hidden in the bewitching green lotus.
One stalk is dull in color, and half of it is obliquely inserted in the dirty silt.
At this moment, the green lotus moved without wind and swayed slowly......
Zhao Lingfei's footsteps are getting faster and faster, and she is getting closer and closer to the exit under the mountain.
Finally.
Zhao Lingfei and Jiang Chebai walked through the gate and stepped out of the secluded mountain.
Under the mountain.
Many of the guests have left, but many are still here.
Or they brought their servants to travel, but the roads were congested, or people they knew chatted in twos and threes, ready to discuss a place to go, and catch up on the old days.
As soon as Zhao Lingfei and the others walked out, they attracted the attention of many people.
Most of the people around him were monks from the Lonely Shadow City, and they could roughly guess their identities when they saw the two of them dressed.
And the five senses are keen, even if those who have a heart hear it slightly, they can know who this young man and woman are from just a few words.
Concubine Zhao Ling's eyes swept away, and she immediately found Ning Ying and the companions of Taiqing Mansion who were waiting for her, and without saying goodbye to Jiang Chebai, she walked directly to that place.
It's just that the eyes of the companions of the Taiqing Mansion are a little strange, and Ning Ying raised his head slightly and pointed in the direction of Jiang Chebai with his sharp chin.
Seeing this, Concubine Zhao shook her head calmly and ignored them.
Behind.
Jiang Chebai saw the back of the woman leaving without saying hello, and his heart was lost.
He quickly looked around.
didn't see the little girl in the pink skirt who was very troublesome at first glance, and the ambiguous eyes of some people made his heart even hotter.
Jiang Chebai instantly lifted the ban on the chilling cicada behind him.
The cicadas chirped with joy.
The tremor can be heard for tens of meters.
"Senior Sister Lingfei, please stay!"
Everyone looked sideways, and the noise gradually stopped.
Ning Ying chuckled.
In the crowd, a young Confucian who had already arrived stared silently, clutching the jade plaque around his waist.
It's tight, it's tight.
The woman, one of the two people who was in the audience's attention, stopped after taking a few steps.
"Senior Brother Jiang has something important?"
Jiang Che's white teeth trembled slightly, "There is indeed a very important thing to tell Senior Sister Lingfei." ”
Concubine Zhao Ling's back was silent for a moment, then turned around and faced Jiang Chebai.
The eyes are facing each other.
Concubine Zhao Ling stared at his eyes and said with a serious expression: "What's the matter?"
Jiang Chebai walked forward and stopped three steps in front of Concubine Zhao Ling.
He took a deep breath and stared at the woman who was almost as tall as him.
Jiang Che's white eyes were blazing.
There was no speech for a moment.
At this time.
Only the joyful sound of the cicada resounded all around.
"Senior Brother Jiang, what's the matter?"
Her expression was still calm.
Jiang Chebai slammed off the sword behind him.
Horizontally.
placed in front of Concubine Zhao Ling.
Jiang Chebai's tone was sonorous and powerful, "Senior Sister Lingfei, Han Cicada likes you." ”
As soon as this statement came out.
His arms, his body, and his voice trembled with the sword.
In the crowd of onlookers, who had been quietly watching, there was a lot of noise in an instant.
