Chapter Twenty-Three: Xingyuchen Says
"Star Whisperer?" Chu Xunyu was secretly surprised, and thought that there was a record in the classics of his family before: Qingyang Palace, since Yin Xi's ascension, every five hundred years, a person with outstanding talent will be selected to inherit the position of the Star Whisperer, no matter how high or low this person is, but he is talented, and he has his own unique perception in the face of the sun, moon and stars, as if he can talk to the stars, so the people on the rivers and lakes call them "Star Whisperers".
The woman smiled lightly, stirred the water, and brought ripples, then straightened up and said, "Siyi, I called you here because your own stars are shining, and you need me to convey the wishes of the stars. ”
Chu Xunyu said very strangely: "My own stars, seniors, don't be joking, where did I get any stars." ”
Through the veil, but the woman could clearly feel a mocking smile, as if laughing at her own ignorance. The woman shook her head and said, "Everyone has their own fate and cause and effect, and the stars are the same, everyone has their own representative stars. ”
The woman paused, then continued: "Not long ago, in my dream, I saw the light of your stars flickering and told me some news about you, so today, I will let you come here. ”
Chu Xunyu was a little interested at this time, and said, "So, what did they say?"
The woman didn't answer directly, and looked up at the sky: "There is still a cup of tea time, and the sky will be completely dark, and at that time, you will be able to see your own destiny." ”
Chu Xunyu looked up at the sky, it was indeed about to get dark, and he didn't speak at the moment, so he walked to the edge of the cliff and looked at the scenery in the mountains. At this time, the woman suddenly asked, "Is this good?"
"What's so bad?"
"What if your quest doesn't turn out what you want?"
"Then I also have to make it clear that I can't carry such a burden for the rest of my life. ”
The woman sighed lightly and said, "What if the final result makes you feel very disappointed, or even painful?"
Chu Xunyu lowered his head and smiled miserably: "Then I will definitely not give up, at the end of the world, I will never give up." ”
The woman sighed and said to herself, "Is that so?" ”
After a while, it was dark, and at this time, looking at the night sky, the stars blinked mischievously, as if they were telling something to everyone. The woman beckoned and said, "Come here, just sit on this stone at will." ”
Chu Xunyu took off the long sword on his body, picked a stone at random and sat down, leaned the sword against his side, and looked at the surroundings of the pond, among the dense flowers and plants, the light of fireflies flickered, and the water in the pond reflected this tranquil picture in the moonlight.
The woman looked at the sky, just kept watching silently, Chu Xunyu didn't bother her, just kept waiting. After a long time, the woman lowered her head and said to Chu Xun: "Your stars are flickering, tell me, you are about to complete the first battle of fate, are you prepared?
"It's okay," Chu Xunyu smiled calmly: "Many years ago, when I entered the land of the two poles, I had already given up this remnant body, what can I do with such a battle?"
"No," the Star Whisperer shook his head and said, "This man is the key to solving the puzzle, and you will not only face this battle, but you will also get a lifelong opponent." But you're going to make a bet with your life, you have to understand. ”
"If that's the case," Chu Xunyu said solemnly, "Then I have to face it bravely, I won't run away." ”
The Starwhisperer asked curiously, "Didn't you think that if you failed, your own life would come to an end?"
"Failed?" Chu Xunyu smiled strangely: "Then, my life is meaningless." Looking at the starry sky, a calm smile leaked from the corner of Chu Xunyu's mouth.
"Is that so," the Star Whisperer sighed to himself under the veil and whispered, "To the north." ”
"What?"
"To the north," said the Star Whisperer, "in the far north of the bitter cold, where your destiny is to fight, you will be guided by the stars, and after your victory, you will receive important revelations about the black light. ”
"Thank you. Chu Xunyu gave a salute and turned around to leave.
"Wait. At that moment, the Starwhisperer stopped him. took out a small white porcelain bottle from his long sleeves, leaned over, gently took a bottle of water from the pool, handed it to Chu Xunyu, and asked, "Do you know why this pool is called 'Shangshan Pool'?"
Chu Xunyu nodded, and said: "There are classics in the family that recorded that there was a plague in the vicinity of the year, and there were countless dead, and there was no medicine to treat. Three years later, the great Confucian generation at that time, who was also Zhao Mengyu of the Hanlin Academy at that time, came here, with the spirit of Confucianism, personally handwritten the three words "Shangshan Pool", which means the meaning of "Shangshan is like water" in the Tao Te Ching. ”
"That's right," the Star Whisperer nodded, and said, "You know a lot, take this bottle of water, I hope you can remember what you said today, the four words of good as water, and try to avoid killing and robbing in the future." ”
Chu Xunyu took the bottle suspiciously, looked at the Star Whisperer, seemed puzzled, and was about to ask. At this time, the Star Whisperer shook his head and said: "Go, don't ask again, this is what Star Yuchen said, I won't tell you more, all the way to the north, the light of the stars at night will show you the way." ”
After speaking, he got up, touched the stone, and slowly returned to the small building. Chu Xunyu thought about it for a while, put the bottle in his sleeve, turned around, put the long sword on his back, and walked down the mountain.
There is only one mountain road, just follow the road, Chu Xunyu simply didn't walk, and flew back directly with the sword. After a short time, I came to the side door of the main hall of Qingyang Palace. There was a boy waiting on the side door, and when he saw Chu Xunyu coming, he stepped forward and said, "Please come here, the head is waiting for you." ”
Chu Xunyu saw that it was the little boy who led the way for him during the day, so he nodded directly, stepped forward, and returned to the hall during the day. I saw the old man in the daytime, standing in front of a sundial with his back to him, silently calculating something. When the little boy retreated, the old man turned around and said with a smile: "The old man is the current head of Qingyang Palace, 'Morning Terrace'. ”
Chu Xunyu gave a salute at the moment and said, "Chu Xunyu has seen the master. ”
The head nodded and said, "Xiaoyou, I must have seen the Star Whisperer." ”
Chu Xunyu nodded and said, "I saw it, and I was guided by it a lot, and I understood it quite deeply." ”
"Yes. The head of the morning platform nodded and continued: "Don't blame the old man for being presumptuous, early this morning, the star whisperer sent a message, saying that the star whisperer had arrived, and asked the disciples to lead you here, so I guessed that it might be you." ”
"The seniors are serious," Chu Xun said: "This trip, I feel quite uncomfortable, where do you dare to say the word 'strange'." ”
The old man nodded and continued: "Mu Yuan, they will rest in the guest room, and after they go out, someone will take them there." Chu Xunyu didn't say much when he heard this, he bowed lightly, turned around and went out. The old man silently watched him go away, but did not speak. It wasn't until Chu Xunyu walked out of the main hall that at this time, in a side door next to the armillary sphere, Wangchen walked out, came to the old man's side, stood side by side, also looked at the door, and said: "It's still quite a demon in his heart, why doesn't the star whisperer relieve his heart demon?"
Chentai said with a smile: "Only you can unravel your own demons, and others can't do it for you." Wangchen, weren't you the same way back then? ”
Wangchen shook his head with a smile and said softly, "Yes, only you can untie it." ”
In the wing room of Qingyang Palace, Moon Watching Xiaosheng and Mei Wan were discussing something.
"Miss, it's estimated that we'll be going to Zhixiang Temple tomorrow, should we avoid it?" asked the moon watcher, shaking the folding fan.
"Why do you want to avoid it?" asked Mei Wan strangely.
"Because our demons and Buddhism have always been very estranged, and when we see them tomorrow, we will inevitably have more incidents. Guanyue Xiaosheng frowned and explained.
"No need," Mei Wan shook her head and said, "Just now my father passed the word, tomorrow to Xiangji Temple, there is a way." ”
"Oh?" Hearing this, the moon-watching Xiaosheng was thoughtful, and he stopped talking.
Not long after Chu Xunyu left, there was another uninvited guest by the Shangshan Pool of the Star Whisperer. I saw a girl on the winding mountain road, holding a piano in her arms, slowly flying here. Lao Yuan saw Shangshan Pond and said in surprise: "It's a wonderful place." "The person who came was none other than Shang Qian.
It didn't take long for Shang Qian to come to the pool, look at the surrounding environment, and nodded with satisfaction. Suddenly found that not far from the pool, there was a small building, and was taken aback at the moment, and asked weakly: "Is there anyone?"
"Huh?" Xiao Zhuzhong is the Star Whisperer, and when he heard that someone was coming here, he couldn't help but feel strange, ordinary people here can't come. So, he opened the curtain and asked softly, "Who is it?"
Shang Qian saw that there was really someone, stuck out his tongue, and stepped forward to see that the voice was like an old man, but the appearance was that of a young woman, so he said embarrassedly: "Senior, I'm sorry to disturb you." I'm here to practice. ”
"Huh?" the Star Whisperer asked strangely, "You're not a disciple of my sect, are you?" ”
"No," Shang Qian shook her head, blushing, and explained the process. It turned out that Shang Qian got the follow-up section of Guanglingsan of the Venerable Master Wuyin during the day, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and wanted to practice immediately, but he needed to find a quiet place, so he remembered that during the day, Chu Xunyu seemed to have come to this back mountain, so he estimated that this should be a quiet place, so he came with the piano in his arms.
The Star Whisperer nodded and said, "Yes, you didn't lie. ”
Shang Qian said strangely: "How do seniors know that I didn't tell a lie?"
"Hehe, that's what the stars told me. The Starwhisperer laughed.
"Stars, stars can speak?" Shang Qian looked curiously at the stars in the sky.
At this time, the Star Whisperer stood up, felt the corner of the wall and walked out, Shang Qian hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and said, "Senior, should you be?"
"Yes, I was born blind. The Starwhisperer replied.
"I'm sorry. Shang Qian stuck out her tongue, "I shouldn't have asked." ”
"Hehe, it's okay, I'm used to it. The Star Whisperer shook his head, came to the stone by the pool, sat down, and asked, "Are you from the Legalist family?"
Shang Qianqi said: "How do the seniors know?"
"Huh. The star whisperer replied with a smile: "Although my mother-in-law can't see with her eyes, the stars can see everything, and you have a Legalist weights and measures bracelet on your hand, which is the descendant of the Legalist Shang Ying." ”
Shang Qian smiled: "I really can't hide anything from my seniors, and the junior Legalist Shang Qian." ”
The Starwhisperer continued, "You said you were here to play the piano, can you play a song for me?" ”
"Huh?" Shang Qian said in surprise: "Seniors don't blame me?"
"No, no one has been here for a long time, can you play a song for me?"
Shang Qian heard this, and said happily at the moment: "That's good, then I'll be ugly." ”
The Star Whisperer nodded, Shang Qian didn't say much, and sat on the stone at the moment, stirred the strings, and played the first five sections of the Guangling scattered sound that he had just comprehended during the day. The Star Whisperer had been looking up at the sky and listening quietly.
At the end of the song, the Star Whisperer lowered his head and said softly, "Since you can come here, it means that we are destined, then, let me tell you some words about your own stars." ”
"What, my star?" Shang Qianqi said.
The Star Whisperer didn't care about this, and continued: "In a long, long time, you will face a major decision that will involve many people, including your Senior Brother Mu Yuan and Chu Xunyu, and several others. ”
"What? so important, what is the choice?" Shang Qian asked in surprise.
"It's where your final feelings end. Under the veil of the Star Whisperer, he smiled lightly.
When Shang Qian heard this, her face immediately turned red, and she said, "Mother-in-law, don't laugh." ”
The Star Whisperer shook his head and said, "You don't have to be embarrassed, this is a law of nature, and you can't escape it." Your heart is as clear and clear as the water in this pool, but after a long, long time, you will face this inevitable choice, which can be a matter of life and death for everyone, do not run away from it. ”
"What?" Shang Qian said in surprise, "How does my mother-in-law know?"
"Because," a gust of mountain wind blew, and the water in the pool rippled and stirred the veil. He replied softly, "I am the 'Star Whisperer'." ”......
Xingyuchen said, marriage is cause and effect.
The vast stars, the fateful choice.
