Volume 1 Asking the Assembly Chapter 28 Zhongzhou
Wu Xuanyu sat on the edge of the pool.
Holding a piece of bright green grass in his hand, he pointed to the water under his feet one by one, looking at the ripples in the circle, and secretly distracted.
The water reflected her indistinct face, and in a moment, she seemed to see the scene that had disturbed her the day before.
Liu Xiyue held the bamboo bird and smiled happily in front of Mu Qingyun.
At that time, it was as if something was pinching hard in her heart, and she didn't have the courage to take another look.
She involuntarily ran out.
When I remembered that he said that he was like his sister, it was as if he was being tightly choked by a pair of hands in his throat, and the infarction was uncomfortable.
Whether it's annoyance, or anger, or whatever.
She wanted to stay away from him.
But when she heard that he was in danger and in danger at any time, she wanted to rush to him desperately.
When he woke up, she was already awake, but she didn't know what mentality to use to face him, and she continued to pretend to sleep without thinking about it.
Her cheek was tapped lightly by him as if teasing, and she felt some inexplicable joy, and her heart was about to jump out.
In order not to let him notice her abnormality, she turned her head.
His every word and every move seemed to have become a thread that involved her joys, sorrows, and sorrows.
What's going on here......
Unable to help but sigh softly, she looked at the starry sky, trying not to get caught up in these disturbing memories again.
When she looked up, she seemed to catch a glimpse of another face on the water.
"Senior Brother Mu, Senior Brother Mu!"
She subconsciously exclaimed.
Mu Qingyun also sat down, and walked his legs down to the inside of the pool, almost stepping on the water.
"Sister dancer, you seem to be worried lately, is something wrong?"
"It's okay......"
"Ahh Mu Qingyun nodded.
As if there was nothing to say, both fell silent.
Mu Qingyun looked at the moon with interest.
But I wondered in my heart: This atmosphere seems to be a little embarrassing, it wasn't so difficult to speak in the past, could it be that I made her unhappy? I knew that I wouldn't sit down, but if I got up now, would it make her think that I was unhappy.......
Just thinking about it, Wu Xuanyu suddenly asked, "Isn't Senior Brother Mu going to find Senior Sister?"
"Huh, why am I going to find Senior Sister Liu?"
Seeing that he was puzzled, Wu Xuanyu also knew that her question was abrupt, she hurriedly shook her head and said, "It's nothing." ”
Seeing this, Mu Qingyun thought that she was euphemistically ordering the eviction of customers, so she took out the bracelet she had specially brought when she changed clothes from her arms, and said, "I walked here, and I didn't intend to disturb the dancer sister, this thing has been going to give it to you, but it has been delayed until now." With that, he put the bracelet beside Wu Xuanyu, stood up, and said, "Then I'll leave first, and you can go back early." ”
"Give it to me?"
Wu Xuanyu looked at the bracelet in a daze, as if she was a little incredulous.
Mu Qingyun nodded, turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait!"
Wu Xuanyu grabbed the bracelet and asked hesitantly, "Senior Brother Mu, this is the ...... you bought for me?"
"Not really. I saw some knick-knacks on the street the afternoon before yesterday, and before I knew it, I picked up a lot of them, and I was going to go back and give them to you. I've already sent it to Senior Sister Liu, and then I'm looking for you, but you're not in the room, so I'm going to find someone to send you when no one is around, after all, if other people are there, it will inevitably cause misunderstandings, and it's not appropriate for them to be sent at that time. ”
"I thought you just wanted to give it to Senior Sister ......"
"How can it be, no one can forget you...... Uh, how did I forget Qianyu. ”
"Senior Brother Mu, thank you. ”
Wu Xuanyu gently held the bracelet in the palm of her hand.
Mu Qingyun waved his hand and said, "It's not a valuable thing, you don't have to be polite, I'm leaving." ”
"Senior Brother Mu," Wu Xuanyu stopped him again.
He frowned suspiciously, and said, "What's wrong?"
"You...... If things are not urgent, can you stay with me for a while? She blushed and seemed to be breathing.
He was stunned for a moment, then hesitated back to the pool.
For a long time, no one spoke.
Mu Qingyun couldn't help it, so he picked a topic and said, "I will continue to go to the Five Buddhas tomorrow, and I think it will be half a month at most." ”
"Hmm. Wu Xuanyu kept holding the bracelet, and after hearing his words, her hand paused slightly, and she didn't raise her head in response.
"A long time ago, Master mentioned about you, saying that you have extremely high qualifications, profound cultivation, and are very famous among the younger generation. But on the way, I heard that this is the first time you have participated in the Asking Questions, and you have been restless these days, are you nervous about it?"
Hearing this, Wu Xuanyu looked at him and shook her head with a smile.
He took a deep breath, slipped the bracelet on his wrist, and looked at the sky.
"I'm a little nervous about the Asking Conference, but I'm just a little nervous, and I'm very confident in my cultivation. ”
"Yes, it seems that this first must be the dancer's sister. ”
"Master often said to me that God rewards hard work. Although everyone has praised me for my good qualifications since I was a child, what I want them to notice more is my hard work. I have been cultivating hard all along, and I dare not slack off in the slightest, and I believe that none of these efforts will be in vain, even if I can't compete for the first place, it will definitely not be bad. ”
She looked at the bright moon and said this, her flawless face was like another bright moon, and she was not afraid to compete with it. A mesmerizing smile adorned the corners of her mouth, and her moist eyes seemed to contain the stars of the heavens, bright and dazzling.
For a while, this incomparably confident momentum made Mu Qingyun stunned.
"And. ”
“...... You said. ”
"In the future, I will call you Senior Brother Qingyun, and you will call me Senior Sister Xuanyu. ”
Since this night, Wu Xuanyu's whole person seems to have returned to the cheerfulness she was when she first met.
Mu Qingyun and the Cangluan faction marched towards the top of the Five Buddhas.
......
......
Zhongzhou, the center of Kyushu.
There are many sects in this area, and some of them are even hard to remember.
Nowadays, there are many sects of Taoism, each family has its own inheritance, but the foundation is not thick and the strength is not high, after all, it is difficult to resist the passage of time, and some small sects choose to attach themselves to the gate faction and become its subordinate sects.
For example, the Taichong Sect, which stands at the top of the Dao Gate, shelters several major sects at the bottom, and the Gate Sect governs more than a dozen medium sects, and there are many small sects under the medium sect, and the protected party makes a promise, and the protected party pays the price.
This is true of the Taoist gates, and the same is true of the Buddhist and demonic gates.
The Five Buddha Temple is the first temple of Buddhism, a rare pure place in the world, and this time the first time to hold a meeting to ask the Tao, it can be regarded as giving enough face to the Daomen.
At present, the conference has not yet begun, and even if the invited sects come early, they do not dare to be cheeky to live in their Zen monastery rooms, and they have chosen to live temporarily in their subordinate sects. The Cangluan Sect was no exception, after the group came to Zhongzhou, the two elders Yun Xi and Yun Xiang ordered the two disciples to go to a small sect under the jurisdiction of the Cangluan Sect and let them clean up their rooms.
It is a great honor to be favored by the first sect, and no sect dares to slack off.
After the two disciples left, the two elders led the remaining disciples to the Five Buddha Temple.
The top of the five Buddhas is full of red maples all over the mountain, and the vast surging sea of fire complements each other with the distant bell from the top of the mountain.
Legend has it that thousands of years ago, a monk in the temple who was about to live was dreaming of the Buddha at night, and he asked the Buddha a question that had been bothering him, but the Buddha did not answer, but gave him a fiery red maple leaf.
After the monk woke up, he sat in the courtyard with a maple leaf in his hand, and this sitting was a year.
One morning, he suddenly opened his eyes, and after saying a Buddha name, he sat down with a smile, and the monks around him knelt down one after another, only to see that the maple leaf turned into a red fire and incinerated his body in the blink of an eye.
At the right time, a gust of wind swept in, and the ashes were scattered all over the top of the five Buddhas, year after year, and gradually grew this endless maple forest.
Walking up the mountain road from the foot of the mountain, Mu Qingyun and other disciples couldn't help but admire the beauty of the scenery here.
There is still half a month before the opening of the conference, and out of respect, there are many sects who have gone to the conference early.
However, some of them are uninvited, these sects are basically not high in status and not famous, but not so that they can't be on the stage, cheeky to congratulate, looking forward to being familiar with the Five Buddha Temple, and then satisfying from where to go back and forth.
The Cangluan faction is prestigious, and the sects encountered on the road have all given way.
The two elders, Yun Xi and Yun Xiang, only nodded slightly at their grovel, and as a matter of course, they led their disciples to go first.
......
You can already see the mountain gate of the Five Buddha Temple in the distance.
There was a faint burst of laughter like silver bells in front of me, mixed with a little shouting.
Mu Qingyun paused and said in a low voice, "This dead girl." ”
Beside her, Wu Xuanyu said suspiciously, "Senior Brother Qingyun, what did you say?"
I saw a boy running down on the quiet maple forest path, chasing a girl behind him.
The boy looked wooden, and he just ran forward vigorously, and when he crossed the Cangluan faction and his group, he didn't notice Mu Qingyun waving at him.
"Senior brother, this is your disciple of Taichong, right?" asked Wu Xuanyu curiously.
Mu Qingyun didn't answer, but saw the right time and grabbed the little girl's ear that passed by.
"Yikes!"
The little girl cried out in pain, and subconsciously slapped it at him with a palm.
He lightly clasped his five fingers, clamped the little hand tightly, and said viciously: "Dare to hit me, the skin is itchy, right?"
"Huh, second senior brother, you're here!" Liu Jun'er was pleasantly surprised, screaming while trying to break free from his control, "It hurts, it hurts, you let go!"
"You dead girl, bullying your fourth senior brother all day long, don't you think that no one can control you. ”
"How can I bully him! I'm competing with him to see who can run faster!"
"What in your hands. ”
"Little bugs that bite. ”
At this time, Shang Luying and Yi Han, who had been chasing the two, and another Taichong Sect disciple also ran over.
"Senior brother!" Shang Luying looked at Mu Qingyun in surprise.
Mu Qingyun let go of Liu Jun'er, who was dancing with her teeth and claws, nodded at him with a smile, and then patted Yi Han, who looked gloomy as usual, on the shoulder, and said, "I haven't seen you these days, are you okay?" ”
Yi Han nodded and said, "Okay." ”
