At night, the moon and stars are scarce. Lying on the bamboo bed at home, Xiao Ling tossed and turned, unable to sleep. The figure of the sword-dancing girl often flashed in my mind. Since he was a child, Xiao Ling has been with Lu Ping all day long with Lu Tianwu to learn literature and martial arts. Except for a few little girls of the same age in the village, there has been no contact with outside women. The girl in the white dress and graceful figure had only heard it in the mythical stories of her uncle. Now seeing the girl in the deep mountains, Xiao Ling treats her like a fairy in his heart.

The next day, I woke up in a daze and found that the flying white figure was still in my head. Xiao Ling sat on the bed and thought for a while. After a short time, his mother Liu woke up to eat, and then slowly got up.

After breakfast, Xiao Ling came to the Inquiry House on time, walked to the study specially arranged for him by his uncle, and picked up the book of "Analects", but he was in a state of mind and couldn't stand it. I thought to myself that the fairy might have been dancing the sword on the boulder at this time! After sitting for a long time, I really couldn't read the book. So, he walked out with a book in his arms, and when he arrived in the courtyard, he saw Lu Tianwu practicing boxing in the courtyard. So he stepped forward: "Uncle, the weather is good today, Ling'er wants to go outside for a walk, go to the back mountain to find a quiet place to read." ”

Usually, Xiao Ling often takes books to the back mountain to read alone. Lu Tianwu always tested Xiao Ling from time to time, and every time Xiao Ling faced Lu Tianwu's test, he could always satisfy Lu Tianwu. Therefore, this Lu Tianwu became more and more relieved of his nephew, and when he saw that he was going out, he did not stop him: "You go, if you don't want to come back for dinner at noon, bring some dry food up the mountain! Don't read a book and forget the time to eat." ”

Xiao Ling returned home, saw his mother, took some dry food, and followed the path he had written down yesterday towards the boulder. Walk to the spring, sit down by the grass, and look at the boulder, hoping for the appearance of the white figure.

Until the middle of the day, the girl in white appeared from the back of the boulder and flew and danced with a sword. Xiao Ling watched carefully on the grass, concentrating. Until the girl left, Xiao Ling didn't dare to disturb. I thought that as long as I came here every day, I would be content, and I was worried that if I took the liberty of showing up, the fairy would not leave and not appear. On this day, Xiao Lingzhi stayed here until sunset, and the girl only left after practicing the sword for about half an hour.

In this way, Xiao Ling brought books to this boulder for many days to watch the girl dance the sword, and in case of fine weather, Xiao Ling must go. Lu Tianwu and his parents saw that he was old and went up the back mountain, but they were not suspicious.

I don't know how much time has passed, as soon as Xiao Ling arrives in fine weather, he will watch the girl practice swords in the back mountain, and then concentrate on reading. The girl's figure flashed in her mind every day. I clearly remember that day she had elegant swordsmanship and agile body skills, that day she was swift and her sword intent was fierce, and that day she changed into white clothes and put on a pink dress, which shone in the sun...... Xiao Ling has a deep memory of the scene of the girl practicing swords every day. In the bottom of my heart, the girl has become an indispensable person for herself, high up like a fairy, and always in the bottom of her heart like a shadow.

It was another sunny day, and there were still white clouds in the distant sky. Xiao Ling still looked at the girl's every move from afar with a stupid look, and today the girl seemed to be preoccupied, and when she raised her sword and danced for a short time, she stopped thinking about it.

After a while, a strong wind rose, and thick black clouds drifted from afar, obscuring the sun. The wind stopped, the thunder roared, and several bolts of lightning appeared. A silver serpent of lightning rained down and slashed towards the boulder. Xiao Ling looked from afar, and lightning seemed to slash straight towards the girl who was contemplating. In a hurry, he stood up and shouted: "Don't!

Lightning struck and landed on a boulder three meters behind the girl. The loud bombardment woke the girl up. saw black smoke rising behind him, and then heard Xiao Ling's shouts in the distance. The girl followed the voice, and saw a figure on the grass in the distance waving anxiously to her. The girl felt strange in her heart, and flew towards Xiao Ling.

Xiao Ling saw the girl flying, and his nervous heart let go. Silently recite God's blessing, and wait for the girl to fly closer. After looking carefully, the girl looked like a fairy, out of the dust, and slowly fell. Xiao Ling was stunned and at a loss for a while. The face that I had imagined for a long time appeared in front of my eyes. A beautiful silhouette, a refined face, bright eyes, and clear bottom, looking at himself suspiciously: "Who are you, why are you here?"

Xiao Ling was stunned when he heard this: "Sister Fairy, it's okay if you're fine, the lightning just now is so scary." ”

Seeing Xiao Ling's stunned appearance, the girl smiled: "I'm not an immortal, don't call me a fairy sister." ”

Xiao Ling woke up at this time: "I am Xiao Ling, from Linyang Village." There is lightning, and it is dangerous to stand in large trees and high places, and it is safer to stand on this grass. After saying that, I was at a loss again, and I just felt that my heart was beating very fast. It felt like the person in front of me had appeared in a dream.

After a while, the thunder and lightning passed, and heavy rain began to fall. The girl looked at the boulder and saw a natural cave under the boulder, and pulled Xiao Ling: "Go, go there to hide from the rain." ”

The boulder is on a mountain peak, and the cave is located on the mountainside, more than ten meters high from the meadow. The girl grabbed Xiao Ling's sleeve and jumped towards the cave. Suddenly soaring into the air, Xiao Ling screamed "wow" in fright. After all, this was the first time Xiao Ling had taken off like this, and when he stood still, he was especially shocked.

The cave is deeper, and there is more space inside after entering. Rubble is piled up in a cave. The two of them found two large rocks and sat down, watching the heavy rain outside. Xiao Ling looked at the girl: "Are you really not a fairy, I haven't seen someone so beautiful who can fly?"

The girl looked outside: "I'm not an immortal, I'm a disciple of the sixth generation of Chaoyangmen of the Danxia Sect, my name is Liu Yixu." Your name is Xiao Ling?"

"Yes, Liu Yixu! The name is so nice, my cousin is also a disciple of the Danxia faction, his name is Lu Ping. Do you know?" Xiao Ling firmly remembered the name Liu Yixu

"It's from Yangyuanmen! We only have female disciples in Chaoyangmen. I haven't heard of this name, he just joined our Danxia faction, right?"

"Yes, it's been two months, hehe, are you practicing martial arts together?"

"He's still early, it won't take a year to teach me the martial arts of the Danxia faction after joining my Danxia faction. I should have the opportunity to get to know each other in the future. How did you end up in this mountain?"

Xiao Ling took out a book from his back: "I'm here to read, it's quiet here, no one disturbs." Xiao Ling's face was slightly red, but it was difficult to tell the truth: "Seeing you practicing swords there, like a fairy, I treat you as a fairy." ”

Liu Yixu smiled: "What book are you reading?"

"It's all the same, I can't practice martial arts physically, I can only study, and I want to win a place of fame. I want to fight in the imperial examination in the next year. ”

At this time, the rain outside the cave was heavy, and the rain hit the leaves and made a "whoosh" sound. The two looked out, and seeing that the heavy rain was difficult to stop for a while, Xiao Ling took out the bamboo flute: "Do you like to listen to the sound of the flute?

Liu Yixu was a little curious: "Okay, I haven't heard the flute, you blow it to me." ”

"How about you listen to a song "The Sound of Rain"?"

Xiao Ling's music was all learned from Shen Carpenter, and the songs learned by Shen Carpenter originally had no name, and the carpenter could only play them one by one. After Xiao Ling learned it, he filled in the names of each piece according to the artistic conception of the song, including "Spring Breeze", "Summer Grass", "Autumn Leaves", "Winter Snow", "Sound of Rain", "Peony", "Carpenter Song", ......

This song "The Sound of Rain" goes from slow to urgent, with the sound of rain outside the cave, but it is in line with the mood and the situation. At the beginning, a little drizzle, moistening the grass and wet the leaves, and the misty formation of fog in the air. Then the raindrops became heavier and heavier, hitting the stones and splashing one after another. Then the sound of the rain gathered, forming a large water, forming a rushing momentum, heading into the distance...... The sound of the song is endlessly replied in the cave, and the far-reaching artistic conception makes people feel uplifted and their hearts become warm.

After listening to the song, Liu Yixu listened attentively, and it took a long time to come back to his senses: "It's so good, it's the first time I've heard such a beautiful sound." ”

Xiao Ling smiled when he heard this: "This is called music, if you like to listen to it, you can come here often, and I will blow it to you." I'll have a lot of tunes!"

Liu Yixu: "I come here every day to practice swords, will you often come here to read books in the future?"

Xiao Ling nodded vigorously: "Well, it's very good here, I'll come here every day to read books in the future." ”

Liu Yixu: "My master said that I can't let others know about my sword practice here, can you not tell others that I practice sword here?"

"Of course it's okay, I won't say anything about it, in the future, you will practice the sword by yourself, and I will read my books by yourself, and you will not interfere with each other. Xiao Ling hurriedly replied.

By this time, the rain had stopped, the dark clouds in the sky had gone, the sky was clear, and the sun was high. The two of them came out of the cave and saw a rainbow hanging on the mountainside in the distance, shining with colorful light, which was extremely beautiful.

Liu Yixu smiled at Xiao Ling: "It's not too early, I have to go back, otherwise the master will be in a hurry." ”

Xiao Ling was a little reluctant: "Then come back tomorrow, I'll go home too." ”

Liu Yixu grabbed Xiao Ling and flew towards the grass, let go of Xiao Ling, and then turned around and jumped a few times to leave on the other side of the boulder.

Since then, Xiao Ling has been studying under the boulder, and Liu Yixu has practiced swords on the boulder. The two slowly became more and more familiar. Xiao Ling often played the bamboo flute and told some stories in the book, and Liu Yixu was very curious about these new things and often listened to them.
