Chapter 20 Xiao Yicai
Tongtian Peak, as the main peak of Qingyun Mountain and the residence of the head of the family, is naturally more solemn than Xiaozhu Peak.
Along the way, Lin Zhuo looked at the neatly arranged palaces and houses on both sides and the intricate paths, and couldn't help but feel a little big.
She's a little crazy from the road, and if she lets herself go alone, she doesn't know if she can get out.
Shui Yue, who was walking in front, looked at Lin Zhuo as if she was a little distracted, thinking that she was worried about her body, so she said with relief: "You don't have to worry too much, it was [Jiuyan] who took the initiative to choose you as the master that day." Recently, I have seen that although you are angry, you are not as miserable as the previous ones, but you seem to have no notice at all, and you will never die as early as the previous ones. ”
Lin Zhuo didn't take it to heart, but when he heard the words early death, he sighed in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Master, can you elaborate on it." ”
Shui Yue hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Well, it's time to tell you." ”
Slowly slowing down, she pondered for a moment, and then said: "Although this [Jiuyan] is extremely powerful, and there are many mysteries in it, it is also because the Yan Qi is too strong, and it will slowly erode the user's muscles and veins after a long period of use, and the initial symptom is that the temper is becoming more and more hot, and in the future, it will make the user's path stagnate, and the life span will be shortened." ”
She turned around and glanced at Lin Zhuo, and said with a complicated expression: "That day, I traveled with the mountain, and I happened to take the sealed [Jiuyan], when I saw you at that time, [Jiuyan] actually reacted through the seal, and when I put it in your hand, it even used the power of the seal to cut your fingers and recognize the lord by itself." ”
At this, she paused, as if she was also wondering what had happened that day, but after a while, she spoke again.
"This [Jiuyan] has been worn by me since it was sealed by the senior brother of the head more than a hundred years ago, but I didn't expect it to be like this that day, so I took you to Qingyun and gave it to you. ”
"After so many years, I have been careful and cautious, but I have not found the slightest sign of its erosion on you, but I didn't expect that now... But I hurt you, alas!"
Speaking of this, she sighed even more.
Lin Zhuo was stunned for a long time, and then looked down at the long sword that was still held in his right hand, and there was a faint warmth on it from time to time, as if he was comforting himself, and he couldn't help but hold it a little tighter in his hand.
She suddenly raised her head, looked directly at Shui Yue and said, "Master, I think it's very good and suits me." Without it, I would have died at the hands of the masked man!"
Shui Yue looked at the stubbornness on that pretty face, shook her head with a wry smile and said, "I didn't expect that this kid of yours was so talented that he could comprehend this [Jiuyan] true decision on his own, and I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse!"
...
As the two walked and talked, the buildings on both sides gradually decreased, and after a while, the two came to a quiet courtyard.
There was a figure standing in front of the courtyard door, this person looked to be about twenty years old, but he was dressed in a white robe, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, handsome and extraordinary.
He was carrying a long sword with a pale silver hilt behind his back, and when he saw Shui Yue, he hurriedly took two steps forward, bowed to Shui Yue, and said, "Uncle Shi!"
Shui Yue nodded lightly, signaling that the person didn't need to be polite, and then said to Lin Zhuo behind him: "I haven't seen you Senior Brother Xiao yet, if it weren't for him this time, whether you can stand here now is still a matter of two words." ”
Hearing this, Lin Zhuo carefully looked at the young man, and was about to open his mouth to speak, but the young man smiled and said: "Uncle is embarrassed for the junior sister, she never saw me that day, so naturally she doesn't know me." ”
Speaking of this, he hugged his fist at Lin Zhuo again, his bright eyes were like stars falling, and he said, "Senior sister, down there is Xiao Yicai of Tongtian Peak." ”
Lin Zhuo's heart suddenly felt a little good, and he couldn't help laughing, patted Xiao Yicai's shoulder with a big grin, and said: "Thank you, brother, the grace of saving your life cannot be repaid, please drink another day, I know that there is a home in Heyang City..."
Feeling Shui Yue's increasingly cold gaze, Lin Zhuo stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to continue.
That Xiao Yicai looked at Lin Zhuo blankly, and it took a while to come back to his senses. Hurriedly glanced at Shui Yue again, and then laughed embarrassedly and said, "I never thought that my junior sister was actually a temperamental person, but Uncle Shi, the family teacher is still waiting inside, please go in first to speak." ”
Shui Yue glared at Lin Zhuo with a cold face, and then stepped into the small courtyard. Lin Zhuo silently followed, passing by Xiao Yicai's side, but he suddenly made a drinking action.
Xiao Yicai suddenly looked at the unusual black-robed figure, and thought of the tragic figure standing in the ruins that day, for some reason there was something strange in his heart, and he couldn't help touching his nose.
.........
When Lin Zhuo and the others entered the door, they saw a ginkgo tree that covered half of the entire courtyard, and this tree had lived for many years.
Under the tree there was a stone table, on which was a pot of hot tea, two or three cups. But Dao Xuan Zhenren was sitting quietly at the stone table at the moment, holding a cup of tea and slowly sipping it.
Shui Yue's face was a little strange, and she frowned, but then she stepped forward and sat opposite Dao Xuan without saying a word, Lin Zhuo hurriedly followed, standing silently behind Shui Yue.
Dao Xuan Zhenren seemed to be accustomed to it, but he just poured a cup of tea for Shui Yue by himself, and then he looked at Lin Zhuo carefully.
"Senior brother in charge..."
Shui Yue opened her mouth with a slight hesitation, but was interrupted by Dao Xuan raising his hand.
"Senior sister doesn't need to say much. ”
After looking at Lin Zhuo for a while, Lin Zhuo's heart was furious, and then he withdrew his gaze and silently took a sip of the tea in his hand.
He frowned and pondered for a long time, as if he was hesitating about something, and finally gritted his teeth as if he had made up his mind, and then said: "Let her stay in Tongtian Peak for a while, and then I will return you a good apprentice." ”
Shui Yue's face was overjoyed when she heard this, and she hurriedly said, "Senior brother, do you really have a way?"
When Dao Xuan Zhenren heard this senior brother, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "This is the first time in more than a hundred years that my senior sister has called my senior brother, not the senior brother in charge. Don't worry, with this senior brother, I won't let you down. ”
Shui Yue didn't speak for a long time when she heard this, and when the tea on the table was cold, she turned her head to Lin Zhuo and said slightly sternly: "You will stay in Tongtian Peak first, obey the arrangement of the senior brother in charge of everything, and never cause trouble, did you hear it!"
Lin Zhuo rolled his eyes, but nodded obediently on his face.
Shui Yue saw Lin Zhuo nodding, so she got up and said to Dao Xuanzhen again: "Then trouble the senior brother in charge!" I will go back first, and let her go back to Xiaozhufeng on her own after three months." ”
Dao Xuan Zhenren nodded slightly, raised his hand to change Xiao Yicai, who was standing at the door, and pointed at Lin Zhuo and said, "Yicai, go and help her settle down, and bring her to me tomorrow morning." ”
Xiao Yicai nodded yes when he heard this, but Lin Zhuo glanced at Shui Yue, and saw Shui Yue nodding at him, so he followed Xiao Yi out of the courtyard.
Shui Yue saw Lin Zhuo's figure disappear at the door, so she also got up and prepared to leave, but unexpectedly, the Xuan Zhenren suddenly said inexplicably: "Are you still worried about that incident?"
Shui Yue's body paused slightly, and the two of them were quiet for a while.
The yellowed apricot leaves slowly floated down, and Shui Yue took a deep breath, turned around and walked out of the courtyard.
Seeing this, Dao Xuan gently put the cup in his hand on the stone table and sighed slightly.
.........
There are many disciples of the elders of Tongtian Peak, so naturally there will be more houses.
followed Xiao Yicai all the way, and from time to time there were disciples who saluted Xiao Yicai and called him Senior Brother.
And Xiao Yicai also responded with a smile one by one, but out of the corner of his eye, he secretly looked at Lin Zhuo, who had been looking around all the way.
After half a pillar of incense, the two came to a small courtyard, and Xiao Yicai turned around and said to Lin Zhuo: "Senior Sister Lin, there are many disciples of Tongtian Peak, and the residence is not as comfortable as Xiaozhufeng, please forgive me." ”
Lin Zhuo waved his hand wordlessly and said, "It doesn't matter, just find a place to live." ”
Xiao Yicai saw Lin Zhuo's big grin, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Then junior sister will live here first, I will arrange for someone to deliver meals to the door every day, does junior sister have any other requirements?"
Lin Zhuo's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, "That... Please ask, you Tongtian Peak has... Wine?"
After that, he looked at Xiao Yicai with anticipation.
Xiao Yicai was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a long time before he said embarrassedly: "There is a little bit on my side, if the junior sister doesn't dislike it, I will give half of it to the junior sister, but don't let others know." ”
Lin Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard this, his smiling good-looking eyes were bent into crescent moons, and he nodded hurriedly and said, "No problem, no problem, don't worry, brother, I will definitely invite you to drink the best wine in Heyang City in the future." ”
Xiao Yicai smiled bitterly and shook his head, and then said, "Okay, then I'll wait for my junior sister's good wine, you can rest for a while, and I'll help you arrange today's meal." ”
Lin Zhuo hurriedly motioned for him to hurry up, and he also carried his sword into the gate of this small courtyard.
Xiao Yicai looked at the black-robed figure that disappeared at the gate of the courtyard, and couldn't help but chuckle.
This junior sister is so unique, she is so good-looking, but she is just dressed as a man, and her personality is very informal.
He thought as he turned away.
