The moonlight is clear, and even a little poplar flower can be seen flying, and the flower has no shadow, and it shows clear brilliance and misty.

A small stone building made of white jade, exquisite, stands on the edge of the sparkling lake. The wall is carved with exquisite water and moon patterns, and on the outside of the arched doorway are five white jade pillars, with light gauze and white tents fluttering, and stone steps looming.

Everything in the building was covered with a thin layer of light mist, hazy and deserted. I saw a woman in white with a cold complexion, sitting facing the lake, with a pair of bright eyes, just like the moon shadow in the water at this time, subtle and ethereal.

Shui Yuejian lay quietly on the white jade table beside her, and the woman was as slender as a green jade with a green bamboo leaf in her fingers.

She bit her lower lip lightly, and Qinghui surrounded her beautiful figure, bleak and beautiful, this was the natural beauty of Shui Lingyue.

Shui Lingyue slowly got up and slowly walked to the window. The gentle wind stirred the light veil on the window and blew her cloud-like hair. She lowered her gaze and looked at the bamboo leaf lying gently in the palm of her hand, the fluorescence between the textures seemed to be alive, and it seemed to flow in her heart in a trance, and the clear smile engraved in the depths of her heart resurfaced.

Since that morning in the mist of the forest without saying goodbye, she has been telling herself that all she remembers is the palace rules and training, and the past should have gone with the sound of the sky at that time.

However, haunted by dreams, as if the love of several lifetimes that cannot be shaken off, as if as long as I am quiet, the feeling will come to my heart like a tide, and I can't forget it.

Exactly, what, what makes you so uneasy?

Was it that time? Was it the one who held himself up in time to fall out of control in the sky above the small temple in Luotian Village, between the lightning and flint? Under the attention of everyone, he slowly lowered himself like that, and at that moment, it was as if time had frozen, and everything around him had disappeared.

Maybe it was that time, a pair of eyes as bright as stars looked into his eyes, and smiled: "This bamboo leaf is for you......"

Maybe it was that time, when I was in a fright all night, I inadvertently raised my eyes and saw a little light in the study opposite in the early morning that guarded me all night.

However, it seems that none of them are! Just because these should be so insignificant compared to the grace of a teacher who has nurtured himself and taught him for 20 years.

She was confused, she had never felt before, and she wanted to find out what was going on in her hard search.

Suddenly, her five fingers tightened, held the palm, a pair of bright eyes flashed a trace of hesitation, and then was replaced by firmness, concentrating on urging, but when she heard a "Teng" sound, a puff of white smoke rose in front of the window, and after it dissipated, she saw a man's figure outside the window, standing face to face with herself.

Shui Lingyue's body shook, and her frost-like face showed a complicated look, and there was a trace of joy hidden in her surprise, but the man, with a smile on his face, stood there silently, staring at her.

"Wind ......"

Shui Lingyue opened her mouth slightly, but her voice was lowered before she could say anything.

“...... Young Heroes"

I saw the figure of Feng Shuzhu standing in place, motionless. The wind blowing on the surface of the lake stirred the belt of his clothes.

The moonlight is like water, shining on the ice and snow skin of the water and the moon, like condensation, adding a bit of touching beauty.

The two of them are only separated by a window, but they seem to be far away, and there is a feeling of being unapproachable.

Shui Lingyue stared at this man, the man standing outside the window in the moonlight, his face was always with a clear smile, hanging over, as if waiting for her to open her heart.

Time is like a year, and just a few seconds of looking at each other seems like a hundred years and a thousand years.

Shui Lingyue stood in the window, lowered her head slightly, and looked at a small area in front of her, silent as promised. The lake wind blew, the white clothes fluttered gently, and the lips looked pale and colorless because they were bitten hard.

Huo Ran, as if she had made some important decision, suddenly raised her head, but found that the man, the familiar figure, had disappeared.

In the bleak moonlight, a bamboo leaf, slowly, trembling, falling down, lying quietly in front of him, the fluorescence on the leaf slowly flowing.

Shui Lingyue frowned slightly, stretched out her hand as white as jade, and gently picked it up......

"Ling'er ......"

A middle-aged woman's voice came from outside the door, gentle and majestic, interrupting her thoughts.

Shui Lingyue took a deep look at the bamboo leaf, hesitated for a moment, and finally took it into her arms again, then turned around and looked up.

I saw a middle-aged woman about forty years old wearing a dark cloud and a dragon bun, covering her face with a light veil, wearing a Suluo robe, slowly walked in.

Shui Lingyue formed a fist with her left hand and a palm with her right hand, hugged her chest, shook it deeply, and said respectfully: "Master." ”

The middle-aged woman glanced at Shui Lingyue lightly, and said softly, "Ling'er, get up." ”

Speaking of this Water Moon Palace, it is very different from the outside world, not only the declaration of the forbidden land of the Three Realms, but also one thing that is very different, that is, when the palace master of the Water Moon Palace calls the disciples, he calls the second word in the name, just because after all the disciples enter the palace, in addition to following the palace master Shui surname, this second word is also given by the palace master according to the word ranking, so the water moon master calls Shui Lingyue as Ling'er.

Shui Lingyue got up in response, and as Master Shuiyue slowly walked to the white jade table, he saw the master slowly sitting down, and he stood aside.

At this time, although Master Shuiyue covered his face with a light veil, he could still see that he had an outstanding demeanor and was also a peerless beauty.

I saw Master Shuiyue pick up the Shuiyue Sword on the table, looked at it, and said: "This Shuiyue Sword is really the treasure of my Shuiyue Palace, it is the thing that the ancestor Shuiyue Fairy refined the demons back then, evil cannot invade, and only those who are destined can use it. ”

Shui Lingyue's face was like frost, and she replied softly: "Master, when the disciple came back, he wanted to return the Shuiyue Sword, but it happened that the master was in retreat, so he ......."

When Master Shuiyue heard this, his eyes were full of love, he looked at Shui Lingyue, and said lightly: "Ling'er, Master didn't blame you, you can bring Yun'er back, it's too late to be happy for the master." Speaking of this, Master Shuiyue sighed lightly.

Shui Lingyue's face was pale, and she said softly, "Master, since Senior Sister has come back, why are you still sighing?"

Master Shuiyue put down the Shuiyue Sword and said slowly: "Ling'er, you tell Master who you met and what happened when you left the palace this time. ”

Hearing this, Shui Lingyue's bright eyes flashed, and said: "Back to Master, the disciple started from Fangwai Mountain all the way, and finally found Senior Sister in Luotian Mountain, at that time, at that time, it was ......."

Master Shuiyue saw that Shui Lingyue was a little hesitant in her words, so she said kindly: "Ling'er, sit down and talk, there are only the two of you here, what happened, although you tell the teacher truthfully." ”

Shui Lingyue responded, sat down with a bow, glanced at Master Shuiyue, saw the master smiling and nodded, and then said: "At that time, Senior Sister was captured by the demon of the Luotian Mountain Double-faced Buddhist Temple, and was also accused of being a 'slave' ......", said Shui Lingyue's voice lowered behind her.

Master Shuiyue was suspicious and asked, "Sunu?"

Shui Lingyue bit her lip lightly, and then said in a low voice: "It's just that they are controlled by their sanity and at the mercy of others, and those demonic demons control senior sister and hurt many monks of Kongjue Temple. ”

Master Shuiyue listened, pondered for a while, Fang nodded lightly, and said: "I checked for Yun'er for the teacher, she did get two kinds of strange poisons, but I don't know why one has been cured, it should be the poison of the 'slave' you said." ”

Shui Lingyue's face returned to indifference, and said, "Before I came back, I met a mother-in-law surnamed Duan, who detoxified my senior sister. ”

Master Shuiyue looked at Shui Lingyue, a pair of beautiful eyes behind the veil froze slightly, and said puzzledly: "Granny Duan, but an old woman with white hair hunched over and holding a dragon-headed cane?" Seeing Shui Lingyue nodded, Master Shuiyue let out an "oh" and said in a low voice: "It should be her." With that, his eyes became distracted, as if he had fallen into a distant memory.

After a while, Master Shuiyue came back to his senses and said, "Ling'er, apart from Granny Duan, have you met anyone else?"

Hearing this, Shui Lingyue's eyes as clear as water moved slightly, and a faint hesitation flashed in the depths of her eyes, but she finally spoke: "We met Feng Shaoxia." ”

Master Shuiyue raised his eyebrows, as if he had discovered some important information, and said, "Feng Shaoxia, which Feng Shaoxia, but a hundred years ago, he fought with the Western Regions Demon Venerable Mobo Guluo for seven days and nights, and the wind and bamboo that moved the world?"

Shui Lingyue pursed her lips lightly, a faint ripple appeared in the depths of her bright eyes, and nodded slightly.

Master Shuiyue saw it in his eyes and pondered for a long time before he said, "Ling'er, how about the wind and bamboo?"

Shui Lingyue pondered for a moment, and then talked about how she saw Feng Shuzhu meet and talk to Master Kongxing and Jingchen Zidao, how she secretly saw him fighting the double-faced Buddha and demon, how she was saved by him when she fought with Yan Shutian, how Feng Shuzhu helped to save her senior sister, and so on.

Master Shui Yue couldn't help but nod his head when he heard it, and when he saw Shui Lingyue finish speaking, he said: "In this way, this Feng Shuzhu is indeed the leader in today's righteous path, and he has won the trust of the people of this book and the Xuan Qing Zhenren, and he is a rare figure. Speaking of this, Master Shuiyue paused, looked at Shui Lingyue affectionately, and said in a loud voice: "Ling'er, our Shuiyue Palace, among the disciples of your generation, the teacher has already seen it clearly, and he will be able to inherit the mantle of the teacher one day, I'm afraid that you are the only one." ”

When Shui Lingyue heard this, her body shook slightly, and said, "Master, the disciple is stupid, and the entry is late, and the senior sister is even more ......."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Master Shui Yue's eyes look bitter, shook his head, interrupted Shui Lingyue, and sighed lightly: "Ling'er, as a teacher, you are not old and confused, how can Yun'er not be able to take over the position of head of the family." Your sisters have grown up under the watchful eye of the Master, although you have a cold temperament and don't like to talk much, but your talent is extremely high, which is really rare, but your senior sister is jealous by nature. What's more, not to mention that the teacher had calculated for you a few years ago that there would be a catastrophe in the Water Moon Palace in the future, and it should be on your two sisters. Speaking of this, Master Shuiyue got up unconsciously, slowly walked to the window, looked at the reflection of Shuiyue in the lake, and continued: "Ling'er, you can't waste a piece of your expectations as a teacher because of the love of your children for a while. ”

Shui Lingyue accompanied the master, quietly walked to the window, and stood silently aside, listening to the master's earnest teachings, and the contradictory psychology troubled her again.

The master and apprentice looked at the moon in the water at the same time, silent as promised.

After a long time, Master Shuiyue sighed lightly, changed his words, and said, "Ling'er, according to what you said, before Luotian Mountain, who did Yun'er come into contact with, you don't know yet?"

Shui Lingyue shook her head and said lightly: "Before Luotian Mountain, the senior sister met someone, and the disciple didn't know, but after breaking the double-faced Buddhist temple, the senior sister seemed to be lost in nature and got acquainted with a person named Liang Zong. ”

When Master Shuiyue heard this, he turned his head and said in surprise: "Liang Zong, who is it?"

Shui Lingyue looked at the master and said slowly: "That Liang Zong is really the son of the Liang Shilang family in the current dynasty, I heard him say that he has lived in the overseas immortal mountain for a long time, and because of the theft of his senior sister's earrings, he had a contact with Feng Shaoxia. ”

When Master Shuiyue heard this, his face turned strange, and he said, "Liang Zong is fighting with the wind and bamboo because of Yun'er?"

Shui Lingyue nodded, opened the conversation again, and told Master Shuiyue how the little fat bear bag stole the senior sister's earrings, how Chu Qing had a quarrel with the senior sister, and then how Liang Zong hurt the killer, how Feng Shuzhu took the move, and how the Kongxing mage mediated from it, and told Master Shuiyue again.

Master Shuiyue frowned slightly when he heard this, and when he finished speaking, he said with a worried expression: "This Liang vertical finger with his palm, can withstand the wind and sparse bamboo fingers, cultivation is really not simple, but in a hundred years, for this person, but I have never heard of it, this sudden appearance, I am afraid that the person who came is not good." Speaking of this, Master Shuiyue gently leaned his palm on the window, and said in a deep voice: "The Kongjue Temple paid such a price, although it broke the double-faced Buddhist temple, but I am afraid that the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches are behind and making wedding dresses for others." ”

Shui Lingyue blinked, as if thinking about Master's words, and the moonlight like water outside the window gently swayed in, surrounding her cold and unparalleled beauty.

Master Shuiyue continued: "The Kongjue Temple was ambushed again, and the teacher can't tell whether it was done by that Liang Zong. If it is true, then this person is ruthless and resolute, no less than the shadow of the Demon Sect back then. It seems that it is difficult to speculate on the number of righteous qi qi, and the Water Moon Palace has declared the forbidden land of the Three Realms, and I don't know how long it will be able to be alone. After saying that, he looked out the window worriedly and fell silent again.

Master Shui Yue's worries, Shui Lingyue saw it in his eyes, and after a long time, he broke the silence before he said: "Master, according to what Feng Shaoxia said, that Liang Zonggong method is mainly fierce and domineering, and its Dao power is pure and masculine, so it should not be an evil sect. ”

Master Shuiyue shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Silly boy, good and evil cannot be distinguished by exercises, and it is nothing new to modify the Dao exercises to poison living beings. ”

Shui Lingyue blinked again, and then nodded lightly and said, "The disciple has been taught." ”

Master Shuiyue turned around and said, "That Liang Zong's appearance was so sudden, and since he appeared, many strange things have happened, we must not be on guard. What's more, not to mention that the Demon Sect's shadow is about to break through the ground, and the right path in the world will face a catastrophe. At the mention of the Demon Sect's shadow confusion, Master Shuiyue's body seemed to tremble slightly.

Shui Lingyue saw it in her eyes, it was not the first time she had heard of the Demon Sect's shadow confusion. However, every time the master only said a few words, and he didn't know anything about the events of the year, but he felt that whether it was the righteous path or the demonic path, he was waiting for his arrival, and that person, the person who made him uneasy and couldn't forget, was also running for this matter.

"Ling'er?"

After pondering for a long time, hearing Master Shui Yue's soft call, Shui Lingyue quickly came back to her senses and responded softly, "Master." ”

Master Shuiyue looked at Shui Lingyue, paused, and said, "Ling'er, according to what you said, that empty monk was injured by Yan Shutian's Seven Evil Heavenly Luo Mirror?"

"Hmm. Shui Lingyue replied lightly.

Master Shuiyue turned his gaze out of the window again, and sighed: "That Kongxing monk, in fact, is the first great disciple of the Venerable Master, just fighting against one Yan Shutian, just like this, the next generation of disciples of the Kongjue Temple is also worrying. ”

At this time, outside the window, the sky was like ink, the light was hazy, and I don't know when a dark cloud floated in, covering the moon, more like a haze shrouded in my heart.

A cold lake breeze blew, which made people feel excited, but Master Shuiyue said softly: "Ling'er, how do you feel about leaving the palace this time? ”

After being reminded by the master, Shui Lingyue woke up like a dream, but when he left the palace this time, except for rescuing his senior sister, all the memories were given to one person, and he couldn't help but feel guilty in his heart, lowered his head slightly, and said astringently: "Master......"

Master Shui Yue saw that his beloved disciple was like this, but he didn't think about it in other ways, but in connection with the matter of the empty monk mentioned earlier, he suddenly remembered that Shui Lingyue was also defeated under the Seven Evil Heavenly Luo Mirror of Yan Shutian, so he thought that Shui Lingyue blamed himself because of this, so he comforted: "Ling'er, you don't have to blame yourself, after all, it is the first time to walk on the rivers and lakes, and besides, you have no experience in facing enemies before, I believe that as long as you continue to work hard, you will be able to excel in the future." What's more, leaving the palace this time is not completely without gain, that Water Moon Sword, doesn't it have a heart-to-heart connection with you?" Master Water Moon said as he pointed to the Water Moon Sword on the table behind him.

The voice fell, the Shui Yue Sword seemed to understand human language, "ding" sound, like a phoenix, lit up a sword flower, flew into Shui Lingyue's hand, the sword body trembled slightly, making a "buzzing" sound, a moment later, in front of Shui Lingyue's body, a white lotus flower was born, shining, slowly rotating, there were crystal clear dewdrops visible between the lotus leaves, trembling and trembling, as if to drip down.

Shui Lingyue opened her eyes wide, looked at the white lotus, and said strangely: "Master?"

Seeing this, Master Shuiyue immediately raised his eyebrows, lightly held Shui Lingyue's arm, and said with a smile: "Ling'er, this Shuiyue Sword really has a lot to do with you. As he spoke, he turned around and looked into the sky and bowed, muttering: "The ancestor is above, the Water Moon Sword and Ling Er's heart are connected, it is really a blessing for my Water Moon Palace in the past hundred years, and there will be someone in the Water Moon Palace after all, continuing the mantle of the ancestor." After the service, he turned to look at Shui Lingyue with appreciative eyes, and said lightly: "Ling'er, try to recall the Shui Yue Sword." ”

Shui Lingyue was slightly stunned, and said suspiciously: "Recall?"

Master Shuiyue smiled: "The Shuiyue Sword is connected to your heart, as long as you try to control it with your heart." ”

Shui Lingyue was nodded by the master, and looked at the Shuiyue Sword with a pair of bright eyes like water, and then raised his hand slightly, and the Shuiyue Sword actually flew down into his hand, and at the same time, the sword Hua disappeared and turned into a long sword, like autumn water, bright and not dazzling.

Master Shuiyue smiled and said softly: "Ling'er, do you know that in the past two hundred years, in addition to being a teacher, you are the only disciple who can get the Shuiyue Sword to recognize the master. ”

Shui Lingyue was praised by this, but her face was still as cold as frost and snow, and she said in a low voice: "Master, I, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be the ...... of this great responsibility", before he finished speaking, he was interrupted, Master Shuiyue shook his head lightly, and said with a smile: "Silly boy, Master knows that you have no covetousness for the position of the palace master, but Shuiyue Palace needs you, and Shuiyue Sword chose you, which is also the destiny of heaven." Whether the thousand-year-old foundation of the Water Moon Palace can be sustained, the future depends on you. Saying that, his eyes showed a look of love, and he looked at Shui Lingyue carefully and said, "Ling'er, you must not live up to the expectations of being a teacher. As he spoke, he glanced at the Water Moon Sword, and said: "From now on, this Water Moon Sword will be handed over to you, remember to practice diligently, improve your cultivation, and make all preparations for his Sun Water Moon Palace." ”

Shui Lingyue was originally in a contradiction, but after listening to her master's earnest teachings, she learned that she was related to the survival of Shui Yue Palace, so she couldn't help but look around, looked at the home that raised her, and the dearest person in front of her who was full of ardent hopes, and rekindled firmness in her heart, tensed her lips, and nodded vigorously.

After receiving Shui Lingyue's firm answer, Master Shuiyue was relieved, and instantly seemed to be much older, sighed with a smile, and said softly: "Since two hundred years ago, after the teacher participated in the elimination of the Demon Sect's shadow confusion, he has always had the heart of retreat, cut off the interference of the world, and devoted himself to cultivation, but he has been forced by the catastrophe of the Water Moon Palace, and he has to prepare all the time. As he spoke, he paced back to the white jade table, his fatigue was fully revealed, he sat down deeply, raised his eyes and continued: "Ling'er, you must remember not to give birth to children and ignore the destiny of heaven. As he spoke, he hesitated slightly, and then said lightly: "From now on, you can enter the Phantom Moon Pool to concentrate on cultivation, and as a teacher, you will also pass on the order, and the disciples shall not disturb you." ”

Shui Lingyue was cold and dusty by nature, and she didn't like competition since she was a child, and when she was suddenly treated like this, she suddenly felt that her status was higher than that of her sisters, and she couldn't help but feel unwilling, so she called softly: "Master......"

But he was stopped by Master Shuiyue again, and said slowly: "Ling'er, your mind is understood by the teacher, you were raised by the teacher, no one knows you better than me, seeing you, how similar it is to the teacher when he was in his twenties, but for hundreds of years, when you are in this position, there are too many things that need to be seriously considered, you and the teacher are destined, take your time to obey." Saying that, after thinking for a while, he looked at Shui Lingyue again, and said: "There is still a strange poison in Yun'er's body, which has invaded the true yuan, and it cannot be completely expelled at present. After speaking, he looked out the window and sighed: "It's not early, so I'll go back as a teacher." ”

Shui Lingyue said: "Yes", and walked out of the door with Master Shuiyue, looking at the background of Master's departure, and finally disappeared from the lakeside, Fang turned around.

But seeing that the moonlight of the lake was vaguely hazy, it was like a tangible weight, squeezing towards him, from childhood to adulthood, as if this was the first time he felt such a great pressure and responsibility, and he was a little caught off guard for a while.

In front of him, the cold lake wind blew and swept past his ears, as if faintly mixed with the sound of the terrible wind and rain and the sound of Jinge. Shui Lingyue sighed slightly, if it was said that it was the palace rules and teacher training that restricted him before, but after tonight, he shouldered the mission of the sect, but all this was really incompatible with his cold and dusty temperament.

Suddenly, a warmth loomed in his arms, like a spring breeze and rain, and like a kind murmur in his ears, giving himself a moment of comfort.
