II. Chapter 16

The morning breeze with a slight chill blew from afar, swept over the buildings and pavilions, and made a slight "whining" sound

At this time, the city was already full of smoke, the voices of people gradually became louder, and thousands of households began to be busy for a new day.

After everyone had breakfast, they gathered together, Li Mengru had been talking little because of her bad mood, and the senior brother of Jingkong was also a person who did not smile, just standing aside at the moment, without saying a word.

During this period, only Tie Zhen asked Jingkong some questions about the stone tablet from time to time, and Jingkong patiently answered them to him one by one.

Although Jiang Ming is not a person who is obsessed with the level of Taoism, he is also a cultivator, and he is always a little curious about such strange and unpredictable things, and he listens carefully at the moment.

“...... This is probably the origin of this stone stele, and the inscription on it is even more mysterious and abnormal, as if it records an unprecedented supernatural power, as if it has found another way on the way to practice. However, although we can faintly feel something, we can't see or touch it......."

Jiang Ming, Li Mengru and Tie Zhen were all slightly surprised in their hearts.

Jingkong continued: "Even so, it is very beneficial to our cultivation, and there is a feeling of sudden enlightenment after a little enlightenment, if it is ........"

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, his eyebrows drooped slightly, "It's a pity that in the three hundred years of my righteous path, no one has been able to understand the true meaning, ashamed, ashamed!"

Looking at the clear space that seemed to have a look of regret and sigh, Tie Zhen didn't look a little depressed, but asked curiously: "Senior Brother Clear Sky, what is engraved on the stone tablet?"

Jingkong was silent, and after a while, he suddenly smiled mysteriously, "When you see it yourself, you will naturally know." ”

Tie Zhen nodded helplessly, and didn't ask any further.

Everyone was silent for a moment, but they looked at Jiang Ming in the clear air, and suddenly said: "Senior Brother Jiang, I see that your face is ruddy, full of energy, and your complexion is much better than in the past, but the "Heart Sutra" has an effect?"

In the past two days, Jiang Ming has spent the rest of his time studying the "Heart Sutra" given by the monk of the Clear Sky with Li Mengru, but this scripture is too obscure and difficult to understand, Li Mengru was full of enthusiasm at first, and then gradually lost interest, and even looked a little scornful of this scripture.

But Jiang Ming still took it seriously, thinking that the Pure Sky High Monk was for his own good, and he couldn't let his kindness go to waste, as long as he took the time to read it carefully.

Although it did not have the ideal effect of calming the mind, it was indeed a lot sweeter in the past two days, and I don't know if it was because I got used to this strange place, or because of the effect of reading the scriptures, Jiang Ming didn't bother to study it deeply, so he simply persevered with it.

At this time, when he heard what Jingkong said, his face was full of gratitude, and he said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Jingkong!"

Jingkong clasped his hands together, recited the Buddha number in a low voice, and sighed: "The merit is immeasurable, it seems that Senior Brother Jiang is also a person hidden in his heart." ”

"Ah, really?"

I saw Tie Zhen staring at Jiang Ming incredulously, looking half-convinced, and then he glanced at the clear space that didn't seem like a joke, and suddenly showed a very admiring expression on his face, and said, "Brother Jiang, I didn't expect you to be so smart, I also read the scriptures, but I can't understand them at all!"

"Hehe......" Li Mengru suddenly sneered inexplicably.

Tie Zhen was stunned for a moment, and he didn't understand the meaning, but he thought to himself: Are all beautiful women so weird-tempered, and then silently praised the master.

Jiang Ming naturally understood why his senior sister was like this, and immediately blushed slightly, and forced a smile on his face: "No matter what, it's just my luck." ”

Tie Zhen smiled "haha", stretched out his broad palm and patted Jiang Ming's shoulder, and said, "Brother Jiang, if you are lucky enough to learn something from that stone tablet this time, you must not forget Brother Tie!"

Somehow, Jiang Ming felt the heat coming from his shoulder, and his heart warmed up inexplicably, regardless of whether Tie Zhen was joking or not, he nodded fiercely at the moment, "Okay!"

Jingkong smiled slightly, and only regarded the words of the two as the sincere words of young and frivolous.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps at the entrance of the backyard, and everyone was a cultivator, and their ear power was naturally incomparable to ordinary people, so they looked at it one after another. I saw that on a curved yellow wood corridor, a beautiful woman walked over, faintly fluttering blue and white clothes, and after a while, she walked to the front.

Jingkong first greeted the past, saluted slightly, and said with a smile: "Senior Sister Yu, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"Senior Brother Clearance. Yu Xinshuang also smiled faintly, and then looked at the serious monk behind the clear air, who was thick eyebrows and big eyes, not angry but mighty, and said, "Senior Brother Pure Heart." ”

Jingxin nodded slightly, which was considered to have said hello.

Then, the three of them chatted for a few more words, which was nothing more than a greeting and politeness, and if they greeted the teacher, maybe Yu Xinshuang was not a person who talked much, so it didn't take long for him to look over here.

I haven't seen her for a while, but Jiang Ming somehow still has a feeling of amazement when he sees her again, as if this woman will always be such a beautiful thing, like a beautiful fairy in the sky, and he was stunned for a while.

"Hmph, what's there to see!"

Jiang Ming suddenly came back to his senses, only to find that his senior sister was staring at him coldly, his heart tightened for a moment, and he hurriedly looked away, and he didn't know what to say, at this embarrassing time, Tie Zhen glanced at the two of them, and said with a happy face: "Brother Jiang, let's hurry over, it must take us to see the stone tablet!" After speaking, he took a big step and walked over first.

Jiang Ming just wanted to follow, but suddenly stopped, looked at Li Mengru, and said in a loud voice, "Senior sister, let's go too." ”

Li Mengru, who had been with a cold face, suddenly had a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, ignored Jiang Ming, and walked forward by herself. Jiang Ming smiled bitterly and followed closely.

Yu Xinshuang's gaze stayed on the three of them for a moment, and said slightly apologetically: "I've kept you waiting for a long time." ”

Tie Zhen, who was at the forefront, didn't know if he really couldn't speak to a beautiful woman, or if he was more convinced of his master's admonition after what happened just now, so he didn't speak at the moment, but just smiled honestly.

And Li Mengru turned her head directly to the side, as if she was naturally hostile to Yu Xinshuang.

At this moment, Jiang Ming was distressed, but he also looked at Yu Xinshuang helplessly, at such a close distance, this woman was also flawless, but I don't know why, although she had a faint smile on her face, there seemed to be a little sadness between her eyebrows, as if she had something on her mind.

He glanced at it and almost subconsciously said, "It's okay." Then, he moved his gaze to the side slightly intentionally or unintentionally.

Yu Xinshuang nodded lightly, and turned to everyone: "Senior brothers, the family teacher is waiting in the Tianxiang Palace, please come with me." After that, he deliberately glanced at Li Mengru again and said, "Senior Sister Li, let's go." ”

Jiang Ming suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seemed that Yu Xinshuang did not take the previous rudeness of his senior sister to heart, but inexplicably felt that this seemingly arrogant woman seemed to have a little different feeling from the last time they met, but he couldn't say the specifics.

Here, Li Mengru was slightly stunned, the expression on her face was a little unnatural, she seemed to be a little at a loss, hesitated, her lips moved slightly, and she nodded.

Then everyone followed Yu Chenshuang's footsteps and walked out of the backyard, the path was tortuous, all the way up the stairs and water pavilions, withered sycamores, simple but full of elegance. In the distance, the dead leaves moved with the wind, some slowly falling on the bluestone slabs of the road, and some drifting to the eaves and tiles.

When Jiang Ming first came to see such a scene, he only felt bleak, but now when he sees it again, his mood is completely different, as if he is in a painting, and time seems to stand still.

"The scenery of this courtyard is still so beautiful, although it is in a prosperous place, but it is not stained with a trace of vulgarity, although the little monk is not the first time to see, but every time he sees it, his heart is still admired!"

Yu Chenshuang, who walked in the forefront, glanced back at the clear space, and said: "The clear space senior brother is too famous, although it is somewhat elegant here, but it is definitely not as good as your temple, Suwen Thousand Buddha Temple is magnificent and solemn, but also based on the mountain, build a giant Buddha, up to 100 zhang, it is a magnificent scene." ”

Jingkong smiled slightly, silently, but the serious monk on the side took over the conversation, and said in a rough voice: "The big Buddha of our Thousand Buddha Temple is indeed solemn and majestic, but if you want to say strange words, it still belongs to the Yunhai Cliff of Lingyun Sword Pavilion, leaning over, colorful clouds are swirling, the sea of clouds is steaming, it is really like a fairyland, according to legend, the founding patriarch of Lingyun Sword Pavilion is sitting here for three days and three nights, creating the "Nine Heavens Sword Technique" .......

Everyone listened attentively, and no one noticed that the figure in blue and white clothes at the front seemed to shake slightly.

"Senior Sister Yu. It was at this moment that the clear space seemed to remember something, and suddenly shouted.

Yu Xinshuang didn't know what she was thinking, she seemed a little absent-minded, and she was stunned for a moment before she slowly turned around and said, "What's wrong?"

Jingkong pondered for a moment, his face gradually became solemn, and he asked: "Senior Sister Yu, although the Lingyun Sword Pavilion is a little remote, but this autumn festival is like this every year, and it has never been late, and now it is the day to observe the stone tablet, but there is still no Senior Brother Yu and Senior Brother Lin, which is a little strange." ”

A strange emotion suddenly flashed in Yu Chenshuang's eyes, and soon disappeared, and he smiled lightly: "They are already here, and they are waiting in Tianxiangzhai now." ”

"Ah, yes!" Jingkong's expression eased, he was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled inexplicably, and said, "Senior Sister Yu, you are annoyed now!"

Yu Xinshuang smiled, but at this moment, on her beautiful face, as if with a little bitterness, she looked up at the sky, in the blue-gray sky, black clouds lingered, and in the darkness one after another, there was a faint electric light flickering.

She was stunned for a moment, withdrew her gaze, and said softly, "It's about to rain, let's go quickly." ”
