Seeing that Luo Yan hadn't spoken for a long time, Xinzhu asked again, "What's the matter, are you scared?"

The corners of Luo Yan's mouth turned upwards and replied: "I'm afraid that I can't talk about it, I just don't want to do useless discussions." ”

Xinzhu heard him say this, and snorted coldly: "Don't think that I can't do anything about you if you don't speak, I'll give you three days to think about it, and you must choose one of the two conditions after three days, otherwise you can only become flower fertilizer." After speaking, he ignored him, picked up the brush on the stone table and began to write.

Soon, a stack of rice paper in front of her was used up, and then she waved her arm, and a delicate yellow rice paper appeared on the stone table, only to see her change a brush, dip it in the inkstone a few times, and then write the words "Tianmen Villa" on the rice paper she just took out, and then change a pen, and draw a flowing cloud pattern next to the word.

When Luo Yan saw this, he suddenly thought of the stone tablet he saw at the entrance of the village when he first entered the village of Tianmen Mountain.

What she writes and paints now is very similar to the content of the exposed part of the stone tablet on the ground, could it be that the real name of this place is called Tianmen Mountain Villa, and the word "Zhuang" is buried in the ground?

As night fell, the yellow-robed woman returned to the back room, leaving Luo Yan alone on a stone pillar in the courtyard.

The environment here is beautiful, the air is fragrant, and the night is surprisingly quiet, and you can't even hear the cry of mosquitoes.

Even in such an environment, Luo Yan didn't feel sleepy at all, he looked up at the starry sky, looked at the spoon-shaped Big Dipper, and sighed in his heart.

Everyone knows that these seven are so dazzling, but who pays attention to the silent companionship of the left and right next to them?

In the quiet night, Luo Yan suddenly felt a little frightened, so he used the eight-character mantra.

Mysterious runes flew out of his mouth one by one, floating (dàng) into the lotus pond next to him, and after casting the previous five characters, he began to practice the sixth "sa" character.

As the sun rose in the east, the next day had quietly arrived, leaving Luo Yan with another day less.

He looked at the starry sky all night, but he couldn't think of a way to escape.

After three strokes, the yellow-robed woman still disappeared, and Luo Yan was a little puzzled.

Cultivators pay attention to absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, and this time in the morning (rì) is the best stage of absorption.

This woman has not come out, nor has she seen any signs of aura fluctuations in the sky, could it be that there is something else (qíng) delayed her?

Luo Yan thought so in his heart, and looked up at the closed door again.

At noon, the sun had dried all the ink in the inkstone on the stone table, and the words written by the woman yesterday (rì) had disappeared for some reason, leaving only blank rice paper.

Just when he was confused, the door creaked open, and Xinzhu walked out wearing the yellow robe again, but his face was very ugly, as if he had been seriously injured.

I saw her pick up the scattered rice paper, and finally carefully rolled up the delicate yellow rice paper on the stone table, and then sat down at the stone table and began to sharpen the ink, without looking at Luo Yan during the whole process.

It wasn't until there was a third of the ink in the inkstone that her face became rosy, and then she started writing more than a dozen sheets, and then she looked up at the stone pillar next to her.

After discovering Luo Yan, she showed surprise on her face, and asked coldly, "Who are you?"

Tied up here?"

Luo Yan listened to her question and felt a little inexplicable, so he replied:

"I'm a passer-by who accidentally broke into your courtyard and ended up being trapped here by you. ”

After hearing this, Xinzhu looked at Luo Yan thoughtfully and said, "So that's the case, since you trespassed here without (yǔn) permission, and the punishment should also be deserved, then do you plan to stay and be a 10,000-year-old scholar or leave after defeating me?"

"Didn't you say that I should think about it for three days, but now the time has not yet come, and I haven't thought about it yet. Luo Yan replied.

"Is that so, then I will wait for you for three more days, and after three days if you have not decided, I will make you into flower fertilizer and bury you under the pool. ”

After Xinzhu finished speaking, she returned to the stone table and began to write.

Luo Yan heard her say to wait for three more days, and there were more doubts in her heart, what she said today was almost the same as yesterday, could it be that she had forgotten what happened yesterday (qíng), or was it just a coincidence?

Just as Xinzhu took out the delicate yellow rice paper again, Luo Yan suddenly asked, "How should I call a fairy?"

Xin Zhu stopped the pen in his hand, turned back to him and replied with a mysterious smile: "Xin Zhu, but no one who knows my name has left here alive, are you satisfied?"

This familiar way of answering made Luo Yan's guess a little more affirmed.

After watching her write the words "Tianmen Villa" again, she began to draw a pattern of flowing clouds on the side again, until night fell, and she returned to the house behind her.

It was another quiet night, Luo Yan continued to practice the eight-character mantra, and the runes that flew out of his mouth floated into the lotus pond again.

The shape of the third day (qíng) is almost exactly the same as the second day, and the woman in the yellow robe still says, "I will wait for you for three more days, and if you have not decided after three days, I will make you into flower fertilizer and bury you under the pool." ”

This time, Luo Yan confirmed the guess in his heart, and the next few days, as he expected, every day.

On the sixth night, Luo Yan continued to practice the "Sa" character formula in the eight-character mantra, and when it was almost dawn, he finally had an epiphany.

The secret method of the word "Sa" is just like the vast starry sky, the trajectory of the stars is also the direction of the true qi, those bright stars correspond to the key nodes in the body, and the clusters of stars formed by those dim starlight correspond to the viscera that need to be tempered in the body.

After understanding the correspondence, he began to draw the true qi out of the dantian according to the signs of the stars, and through the meridians that spread throughout the whole (shēn), to the whole (shēn).

When encountering an obstructive node, he guided the impact obstacle according to the trajectory of the stars' movements, and in the process, he also introduced the power of the stars into his body, combined with the true qi, and pushed forward together.

Of course, this process was also very painful, and on several occasions he was hit by the force that attracted him, and the screams were heard for hundreds of miles.

But the strange thing is that no matter how he yells, Xinzhu in the room doesn't seem to hear it, let alone come out to check.

Luo Yan's cultivation went through two hours, and when he successfully cultivated the secret method of the word "Sa", he was pleasantly surprised to find that the Tianyuan True Scroll, which he had been practicing intermittently, had also improved one level.

In the afternoon, when the woman in the yellow robe came out, she looked outside, as if nothing had happened, and continued to study ink and write.

This time Luo Yan

It also became very quiet, carefully observing her movements and demeanor.

When asked again why he was here, he changed his story and said:

"I'm your friend, we met when we were playing the piano by the lake, and then we played together, and this time you invited me to come and say that we wanted to study calligraphy together, but for some reason, after entering this courtyard, you (xìng) (qíng) changed dramatically and trapped me here. ”

When Xinzhu heard this, he hurriedly said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Childe, I wanted to test your patience (xìng) and make you suffer." Saying that, she actually lifted the (jìn) system for Luo Yan.

Regaining his freedom, he walked around the lotus pond and looked at the octagonal pavilion on the rockery and the protruding lonely peak, on which a small figure in the shape of a woman was carved.

This scene was strikingly similar to the place he had passed through the previous two times, which made Luo Yan feel that the three of them must have something to do with each other.

Xinzhu followed his (shēn) and saw him looking at the villain on the rockery, so he said, "That's me before." ”

"At that time, I was very playful, often taking advantage of the master's absence, quietly sneaking out to play in these two places, every time the master found out, he would punish me to plant a golden lotus, you see this pond full of golden lotus, almost all of them I planted at that time, but since the master went to Xianyou, I have never had a chance to leave here. ”

"It's too light to punish you for planting a lotus flower every time, isn't it?" Luo Yan asked.

"Childe doesn't know, this is not an ordinary lotus, I don't believe you try it. Xinzhu said, she took out a lotus seed and handed it to Luo Yan.

Luo Yan took the lotus seed and found that it had already been petrified, holding it in his hand like a stone, and there was no life in it under the investigation of his divine sense.

Xinzhu explained: "This lotus seed needs to be raised with true temperature for a hundred years before it can be transplanted into the pond after it has germinated, and then it needs to be infused with true qi every seven days until it blooms its first golden flower. ”

Xinzhu spoke very seriously, and Luo Yan found that she seemed to be a different person today, and she changed to the coldness of (rì), and (xìng) (qíng) was much gentler.

After the two came to the stone table, Xinzhu smiled and asked, "Does Childe like to write?"

Luo Yan said: "In the past, my family was poor and couldn't afford to hire a husband, so my father occasionally taught me in his spare time, and he used a branch to write on the ground at that time.

Later, after my father left, I went to my master's place, and with the help of my brothers and sisters, I slowly practiced, and when I went out to practice, I often studied in my mind. ”

After listening to his story, Xinzhu revealed the same (qíng) table (qíng) and said: "So it seems that I am much luckier than you, I have followed my father and master since I was a child, and while practicing, they will also teach me many writing skills." ”

As she spoke, she picked up her pen and wrote the word "Xinzhu" on a piece of rice paper, and then continued:

"These are the two words that the old man taught me to write at the beginning, and since then, it has become my name. ”

"Did you go out to find him?"

"It's not that I don't want to go out, it's just that I can't leave here at all, on the day the master left, an enchantment was laid outside the courtyard gate, and I've stayed here since then, I don't believe you can try. ”

Luo Yan came to the gate of the courtyard according to what she said, and after taking a few steps, he triggered the (jìn) stop, and a golden film of light bounced him back, shattering his hope that had just risen again.

It seems that if you want to get out of here, you can only find a way from the courtyard.
