Xuanji Gate is one of the best famous schools in Qingzhou, with Zhou Tian Yi number, gossip astrology, Qimen Dunjia and famous all over the world, the door owner Tianjizi is known as the three strange people, there is nothing he does not know, there is no person he does not know, there is no puzzle he does not understand.

Such a sect, recruiting disciples, don't say Qingzhou, everyone in the world is flocking to it, not for anything else, although the conditions are extremely harsh, but once you get started, you will definitely have some achievements, and look at the seven sons of the mystery, which one is not famous.

For a month, Hengling Zhongshan was full of people during the day, and the Xuanji Gate accepted apprentices without looking at the qualifications and background, and only made three questions, but if anyone can answer them all, they can get started, and only ten people are accepted, less is irrelevant, and more is not wanted.

But most people shook their heads and left after the first question, Xiao Shu frowned, there was no hint, only gave himself a blank piece of paper and pen and ink, what kind of problem is this, is it a test of calligraphy and painting?

The people around were also puzzled, and some of them handed in a painting or a poem, but they were all vetoed by the Qing Xuanzi, who was the seventh son of the Xuanji, although there would be new people coming every day, but they basically left after a day.

Xiao Shu glanced at Qing Xuanzi who was sitting on a futon and meditating with his eyes closed, he didn't care so much, he didn't write anything, he walked up with a blank piece of paper, he didn't forget the folding fan that Fang Jin gave him, if he could do it better than a sword, then he really had no choice but to take a special channel for this kind of meditation machine, but he didn't know if this serious Taoist would buy it.

Xiao Shu thought that he would be reprimanded, but unexpectedly, Qing Xuanzi looked at the blank paper, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "The son can be taught." ”

"Hmm, is the Daoist saying that I passed?" Xiao Shu was a little incredulous, and the folding fan that he was about to take out was put back again.

Qing Xuanzi didn't speak, just smiled, put the white paper in front of him, drew a circle on it, then folded the paper three times, threw it on the ground, and then waved his hand, signaling that Xiao Shu could go.

Although Xiao Shu didn't understand how he passed the first question, he quickly reacted to the meaning of Qing Xuanzi, said goodbye and left, and the others only regarded Xiao Shu as being eliminated like himself.

Night to the third watch, the bright moon hangs high, the snow is white on the mountain, only a plum tree stands upright, not afraid of the wind and snow, brilliant fragrance, the lively atmosphere of the day dissipates in the night, a figure walks up along the mountain road alone, holding a red umbrella.

"I'll just say, Senior Brother's lame puzzle is simply redundant, since he can solve the first problem, there is no way to understand this level of puzzle. A delicate woman in a white robe sneered.

"Ahem...... There you are. Qing Xuanzi was a little embarrassed and ignored his junior sister.

"Who is this?" Xiao Shu asked, looking at the woman.

"You don't even know me, and you still want to enter the Xuanji Gate?" The woman looked at Xiao Shu incredulously, but who wanted to enter the Xuanji Gate didn't know that she was exquisite.

"This ...... I really don't know. Xiao Shu pondered for a long time, and he couldn't recognize who the woman in front of him was.

"Okay, then I'll announce that you've been eliminated!" Linglongzi turned around and left, not giving Xiao Shu time to react at all.

"Don't listen to her, she is my junior sister, the Linglong son of the seventh son of Xuanji. Qing Xuanzi said, giving Xiao Shu a look again and again.

"It turned out to be Linglongzi's predecessors, but I blamed my predecessors for being so young and beautiful, and the younger generations didn't think that their predecessors were actually Linglongzi who was famous. Xiao Shu understood and immediately shouted.

"What, do you mean that Linglongzi, who is famous in the rivers and lakes, should be old and decrepit?" Linglongzi stopped, turned around and glanced at Qing Xuanzi.

"It's the juniors who have lost their words, and I hope that the seniors will have a lot, and forgive me. Xiao Shu said helplessly.

"So far, he has passed the first question alone, so I said that Shizun's question is too difficult, and he wants me to make ...... question," Qing Xuanzi said, but before the words fell, he was interrupted by Linglongzi.

"Then our Xuanji Sect really can't afford to raise so many disciples. Linglongzi didn't show any affection.

"Ahem...... Okay, junior sister, you can solve the problem. Qing Xuanzi was a little depressed when he was demolished, and after saying this, he looked at the plum blossoms by himself.

"What's your name?" asked Ryūko Masase.

"Xiao Shu. ”

"Why hold an umbrella?"

"Because it's snowing. Xiao Shu shrugged his shoulders, isn't it normal to hold an umbrella in the snow.

"Why do you have to hold an umbrella when it's snowing?" Linglongzi asked one after another, and these questions made Xiao Shu feel more and more unreasonable, and he asked them completely knowingly.

"Why don't you hold an umbrella when it's snowing?" Xiao Shu asked rhetorically.

"I'm asking you, you can just answer. Linglongzi changed her previous playful appearance, quiet and indifferent.

"Because if you don't hold an umbrella, you will get typhoid fever. Xiao Shu smiled and said.

"Will you?" Linglongzi waved his robe when he heard this, and the snowflakes mixed with the falling plums condensed into a long dragon, and rushed towards Xiao Shu, Xiao Shu couldn't help but squint his eyes when he saw this, he didn't know what Linglongzi meant by this, to block it or not?

Xiao Shu looked directly at the snow dragon, the biting cold wind was blowing in his face, he raised the red umbrella forward, held his hand on the hilt of the sword, his eyes were empty and unfocused, once there was any accident, he would draw his sword.

"You won't. Linglongzi smiled.

The expected impact did not come, and the moment the snow dragon approached, it scattered into a sky of ice flowers, and fell down.

"Since you won't, why do you still have an umbrella?" Linglongzi stepped forward and asked almost against Xiao Shu, neither she nor Qing Xuanzi held an umbrella, and their already thin Taoist robes were covered with snowflakes.

"There is no reason, I want to hold an umbrella, even if it is sunny, I will hold an umbrella, I don't want to hold an umbrella, even if it is thunder and fire from the sky, I will accept it calmly. Xiao Shu said coldly, he didn't want to answer these inexplicable questions anymore.

Qing Xuanzi laughed and said, "Life is just two words, idealism, recognizing the heart is the most important, there are not so many reasons, and there is no need to find a reason, itself is the best explanation." ”

"Then why are you holding this umbrella?" asked Linglongzi with a smile.

Xiao Shu really has nothing to say now, he really doesn't understand what the meaning of these questions is?

"You are not an idealistic person, on the contrary, you are selfless, and your every move is telling me that you are a person who is advanced in swordsmanship, why did you come to my Xuanji Gate?" Linglongzi is different from Qing Xuanzi's optimism, Xiao Shu has changed from a student to a selfless kendo master with unknown intentions in her eyes.

Xiao Shu has no intention of hiding, and Linglong can see it clearly.

"Senior sister, what do you mean?" Qing Xuanzi was still a little confused, but he knew that Linglong knew people's hearts best, and no one could act in front of her.

"Autumn maple umbrella, red leaf sword, frost and snow alone, ancient and modern bright moons. Remnant Red Fold, Fang Fei Xie, a night of smoke and water, where to find the old man, Senior Brother, are you really asking me a question for him?" Linglongzi said indifferently.

"Are you the heir of the Sword Monarch?" Qing Xuanzi's face became solemn, he didn't pay attention to this red umbrella at first, just as it was ordinary, but as soon as Linglongzi mentioned it, he realized that something was wrong.

"I'm here to find Dimensity. Xiao Shu said bluntly, and took out the folding fan from his sleeve, since it was broken, it was easier to simply take advantage of the situation and find Tianjizi directly.

"The white paper fan given by the master, since you hold this thing, you should be a distinguished guest. Qing Xuanzi's face changed when he saw this folding fan, and he said respectfully.

"Since Xiao Gongzi has this thing, why do you want to act like this, I won't embarrass you. Although Linglongzi said this, she still secretly looked at Xiao Shu's expression.

"Can you show me to your master? I have something to ask him. Xiao Shu said.

"Shizun has not come out of retreat half a year ago, this is a well-known thing in the world, and now the Xuanji Gate is managed by us, if Xiao Gongzi wants to see Shizun, I am afraid he will have to wait. Linglongzi said with a smile.

"When will he be out of the customs?" Xiao Shu asked, who knows how long Tianjizi will have to retreat, and he may not be able to afford to wait.

"At the beginning of the year, the master will be out of the customs, and if Xiao Gongzi is fine, he can wait at the Xuanji Gate. Qing Xuanzi said.

Xiao Shu pondered for a while, there was still half a month before the beginning of the year, and he already had a plan in his heart, "No need, I'll come back then." ”

"Then Xiao Gongzi will go all the way, and we won't send it. ”

For half a month, Xiao Shu wanted to go to the saddle to find the old man who forged the sword, anyway, Tianjizi couldn't run, so he was not in a hurry, but he owed Zixin a sword, and it was better to return it earlier, so as not to worry about it.

As soon as Xiao Shu left, Linglongzi sighed and said, "Senior brother, did you do it on purpose or did you become sluggish?"

"I really didn't pay attention. Qing Xuanzi said with an innocent face.

"He gave me the feeling that he didn't feel like a person at all, the emotional expression was very awkward, very contrived, like ...... It's like imitating yourself. Linglongzi described that there was an invisible pressure on Xiao Shu's body, which she had only experienced when facing Tianjizi.

"What do you mean?" Qing Xuanzi frowned and watched Xiao Shu's back gradually move away.

"Do you remember what the master said about the artistic conception? If I guessed correctly, what he has achieved is self-forgetfulness. Linglongzi felt very cold, not the coldness brought by the outside world, but a kind of coldness that penetrated her heart, the coldness in the depths of Xiao Shu's empty eyes, she couldn't see any emotion, and she didn't have any warmth as a human being.

"No, he's young, why did he achieve such an extreme artistic conception?" Qing Xuanzi felt a little unbelievable, martial arts ultimately pursued the self, so when he said it, he forgot himself but gave up his heart and placed his heart on other things, which was extremely unstable, and once he couldn't grasp it, he would become a madman.

"I don't know, Senior Brother Qiu, he is just hovering on the edge of the artistic conception, and he can't understand it for a long time, so he chooses to travel far away in order to see his true heart clearly. Linglongzi said.

"I originally thought that my junior sister would be the first of our seven sons to comprehend the artistic conception. ”

"It is difficult to know people's hearts, and it is precisely because of this that it is more difficult for me to comprehend. Linglongzi smiled bitterly and shook her head.
