II. Chapter 9 The Man in the Painting
"Hey, are you angry?"
Looking at Cheng Li, who was still mature and stable when he first met, like an angry child at the moment, Li Mengru hurriedly followed, but the corners of her mouth couldn't hide a smile.
Cheng Li also ignored it, suddenly turned around, his green face was full of seriousness, and said: "Although my master doesn't care about etiquette, he is a senior after all, sitting in the position of the leader of the righteous path, and is deeply respected by the world, so you should pay attention." ”
Li Mengru smiled and said, "Okay, good." ”
At this time, Jiang Ming's complicated heart gradually calmed down, and when he heard Cheng Li's words, his face turned red, and he said, "I'm sorry, I lost my temper just now." ”
"It's good to know!"
When Cheng Li heard this, his face softened a little, and then he glanced at the attic behind him, full of respect, and after a while, he said to the two: "Let's go, I'll take you to the backyard, you have to live here for a while, and the backyard is your residence." ”
......
A small pavilion in the middle of the yard.
Yun Guhong was still standing in place in a daze, his shoulders hanging slightly, as if he had lost his soul.
After a while, he slowly looked inside again, and there was a painting hanging on the wall over there.
In the painting, there is a woman in white, with bright eyes and bright teeth, lifelike, sitting at a stone table, caressing Suqin, as if she is really alive, with a smile in her eyes, as if she is quietly looking at him.
Looking at each other in the air.
Yun Guhong smiled slightly, walked to the front of the painting, gently smoothed the folds on the painting, looked extremely cherished, and said softly: "There are many people here again, you like to be lively the most." ”
"That's how we met, remember?"
"By the way, there is a young man with eyebrows and eyes very similar to you, at first I thought it was ......"
Before he finished speaking, he shook his head again, looked deeply at the woman in white in the painting, and said astringently: "Later, I thought about it again, how is it possible, you have already ......"
He seemed to be chatting with someone, but his voice grew hoarse.
There was silence everywhere, and suddenly a breeze came in from the window, blowing his hair, like the years caressing his vicissitudes of life, and like a dignified past, and turned around, gray hair and sideburns......
I don't know when, he quietly lowered his head, his long hair was deeply hidden, and he couldn't see his expression, only his shoulders trembled slightly, as if he was choking:
"Do you blame me......
.......
When Jiang Ming and Li Mengru followed Cheng Li to the backyard, it was already afternoon. The backyard is also large, surrounded by delicate and elegant rooms, which seem to have been specially prepared for guests, but it is still silent, as if it were empty.
Li Mengru frowned and asked, "Didn't you say anything other than that...... Are all the people from Lingyun Sword Pavilion here, why does it seem that there is no one here?"
Cheng Li's face was stiff and said: "The meditation of the Thousand Buddha Temple, the two senior brothers of Jingkong are people in the Buddhist sect, and they naturally like to be quiet. There is also a senior brother of the Vajra Gate, who has a deep relationship with Buddhism, so they must be discussing Buddhism together at this moment!"
"Ahh
Li Mengru was surprised and said, "Are they all monks?"
Cheng Li's face was embarrassed for a while, and he said slightly angrily: "The two senior brothers Jingxin and Jingkong are the enlightened monks of the Thousand Buddha Temple, who cross the world to save people, and the Thousand Buddha Temple is even more located in Daze in the south, sparing no effort for the righteous path of the world, how can you say that!"
Seeing his serious look, Li Mengru glanced at him and said, "Isn't that still a monk, am I wrong?"
Cheng Li was stunned, and then she reacted, what she said was indeed not wrong, but I don't know why looking at her expression, there is always a little bit of unclear meaning, as if sarcasm, I don't know what to do for a while, and after a while, I forced myself to say: "Hmph, how can a layman like you understand!"
Jiang Ming suddenly remembered the story told in the restaurant, so he couldn't help but ask, "Isn't there anyone from Zixiao Temple?"
Cheng Li saw that someone was asking him questions, and for some reason he was always willing to say it in his heart, although there was still anger on his face, his tone was quite relaxed, and he said: "Zixiaoguan has been retired for many years, and he has long stopped asking about the world. ”
Speaking of this, his expression changed again, and he said with a bit of pride: "However, Zixiao Temple has been friends with our Wutong City for generations, and if we don't participate in such activities, the relationship will naturally be nothing to talk about! If one day the demon sect demon comes, the real people of Zixiao Temple will definitely go out of the mountain to help my master, so as to support the righteous path of the world!"
Jiang Ming's heart suddenly had a strange emotion, and he looked at the young man in front of him intentionally or unintentionally, only to see that his eyes were like torches, and his face was full of strange looks, as if he was looking forward to the day when the demon sect demon was beaten.
"Is the Demon Cult really so hateful?"
"Uh......"
Cheng Li first looked at Jiang Ming in surprise, and then said with a straight face: "Throughout the ages, the Demon Sect has been a scourge to the world, and there are not many chivalrous people in the world, and how many sacrifices have been paid for this in exchange for today's peaceful and prosperous world, do you say hateful or hateful?"
Jiang Ming was silent.
Cheng Li said again: "Have you heard of the name of Tongwei Zhenren, I admire him very much, but even he was killed by the Demon Sect and demons!"
Li Mengru looked at Cheng Li's young age, but he looked jealous and hateful, and he was compassionate for the world, so he couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said disdainfully: "We already knew, do we still need to say it?"
Cheng Li's face turned red, and he was stunned for a long time before he forced himself to say, "It's good that you know." ”
After saying that, he turned around and muttered again: "In short, the demon sect demon is punished by everyone." ”
"Oops, I see!"
On a sunny afternoon, the sky suddenly seemed to be a little darker, and people couldn't breathe, which made people dizzy.
But they are as they should be.
Looking at their righteousness and smiling, that heart seemed to sink deep into the water.
Cheng Li took the two of them to the corner of the backyard again, pointed to the two houses, and said, "In the past few days, the two of you will live here first, and there will be a special person to deliver the food." ”
"Okay, got it. ”
Li Mengru nodded with a smile, and suddenly had a serious look again, and asked, "Are we here to experience a quiet life?"
Cheng Li frowned, and after a while, he reacted, and immediately said: "Of course not, you rest for two days first, I still have important things, and I will tell you in detail when I turn around." ”
Li Mengru looked at the young man, chuckled for no reason, and said in surprise: "What important things can you do?"
Cheng Li was stunned for a moment, his face turned red for a moment, and then a look of anticipation appeared, and he said solemnly: "I still have to wait for my senior brother!"
Li Mengru pursed her lips and sneered: "Where did your senior brother go, don't you know the way back?"
"My senior brother has gone to Lingyun Sword Pavilion. ”
Cheng Li shook his head again after speaking, and said mysteriously: "You don't understand." ”
After saying that, he turned around and walked away, but he didn't go far, and suddenly turned around and said, "You two can discuss the matter of cultivation with Senior Brother Jingxin and Jingkong, but remember not to disturb them. Also, my sister's residence is not far from here, if you two alarm her, don't blame me for not warning you. ”
Looking at Cheng Li's back gradually moving away, Li Mengru was stunned for a long time, and her face was also cloudy, and after a while, she stomped her feet hatefully and said, "I'm so angry!"
Jiang Ming stood in place, his face was very bad for some reason, he forced out a smile, and said softly: "Senior sister, I'm a little tired, I'll go and rest for a while." ”
"What's wrong with you, are you not feeling well?"
Li Mengru turned her head and saw Jiang Ming's face pale, and she suddenly panicked, and her voice was much softer.
Seeing the senior sister's concerned look, Jiang Ming's heart was sour, maybe she was the only one in the world who really cared about herself, but if she knew her identity, would she also be disgusted with herself?
He didn't know in his heart, he just smiled and shook his head, but this smile looked a little sad on his pale face.
In the silent courtyard, Li Mengru stood there, looking at Jiang Ming and suddenly walked over, and gently opened the door, his slightly thin figure was then separated by a door, but he never looked back.
In the exquisite and elegant house, Jiang Ming leaned tightly behind the door, he wanted to shout loudly, but he just bit his lip tightly and forcibly held back to prevent himself from making a sound, but in his heart, there seemed to be a demon shouting wildly:
"Everybody gets it!"
He suddenly seemed to have lost all his strength, and with a "dang" sound, the Qianchen Sword in his hand fell to the ground. He covered his face with his hands, leaned against the wooden door, and slowly squatted down.
I don't know how long it took, it was dark, he slowly woke up, wiped the tears on his face, patted his body, picked up the sword on the ground, and walked out of the door again.
Jiang Ming walked around in a daze, and walked to a relatively remote part of the courtyard, the dust was out of the sheath, the black and heavy sword, as if his heart was in general, there was no life, there was only hatred, annoyance, and resentment hidden in it!
He held the Qianchen Sword in his hand and danced slowly, which was the Yuqing Sword Technique.
This gentle swordsmanship, but at this moment, every move and style is ruthless and decisive, and the sound of breaking the air is endless!
His mind couldn't settle down no matter what, he swung his sword with all his might, and it was out of order, as if venting, and slashed out fiercely!
The feeling of the same mind in the front dust sword has never been stronger!
The evening breeze rose, his face sank like water, and he didn't seem to have any emotions, but his heart was like a weed, he knew that this was wrong, but he couldn't suppress it, and another sword slashed out!
"Click!"
The fierce sword qi was unstoppable, and a rotten wooden stake in front of it cracked in response to the sound and flew in all directions.
After hearing this piercing sound, Jiang Ming immediately came back to his senses, his hand also hung down weakly, and he gasped for breath.
He couldn't be calm for a long time, so he stood quietly in the dark.
