Listening to someone talking at the end of the seat, Bai Shijun raised his eyes and saw that the person was the head of Qingyun Dao, a guest in the middle of the house.

This Qingyun Daoist was originally a Taoist priest who traveled all over the world, and he had only come to Baifu for half a month. Although this humane behavior is not profound, Bai Shijun saw that his intention to defect was very sincere, and he could do some illusions, so he reluctantly accepted it. After entering the mansion, this Qingyun Dao person's usual behavior is unremarkable, and his behavior is often a little obscene, so in the hearts of several of Bai Shijun's henchmen, he has been classified as a "chicken and dog thief". And tonight's moon-viewing night banquet, many other strange people in the house did not come, but this Qingyun Dao man who was not outstanding in ability rushed to the banquet.

However, now he is fortunate to be able to break the siege. As soon as he heard that the Qingyun Dao people took the initiative to ask for help, the unequaled son, who was embarrassed, immediately perked up, and said happily: "Okay! Such a good night, if you just drink and sing and dance, it will be boring, then there is Lao Qingyun Dao Chief." ”

When Qingyun heard this, he was about to get up, but Bai Shijun pressed his hands and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Dao Chief, Shijun still has something to say to these two distinguished guests first." ”

After speaking, Bai Shijun got up and left the table, came to Xue Yi's side, looked at her and Xingyan deeply, and said apologetically: "Miss Xueyi, Brother Xingyan, I'm sorry, Fang Cai Shijun drank a little too much, and I am afraid that I am offended by my words, please forgive the two of you!"

Seeing him apologize so sincerely, the Four Seas Hall Master, who was originally a little unhappy, felt a little embarrassed, and quickly got up to return the salute, even saying that it was okay.

After Bai Shijun calmed down this embarrassment, the Qingyun Daoist got up and saluted the banquet, saying that the trick he was going to perform today was called "Wine Brewing Tour". With that, he asked his attendant to fetch an empty flask, and then went to the lake, stooping down and filling the tin jug with clear water. When he took the wine jug full of water back to the table, the ordinary-looking Qingyun Dao man closed his eyes and stared, and the corners of his mouth snorted, as if he was reciting some incantation.

At the time of Qingyun's practice, like everyone else, Xingyan also watched attentively. However, it is slightly different from others, this Shangqing Hall Master, who also debuted from the Sect, pays more attention to every move of Qingyun Dao people. It turns out that Xingyan has seen Qiong Wei's funny little tricks when he was playing, and now he also wants to know what is going on with these illusions of ficacious objects.

Qingyun mantra, not long after chanting, there was a faint light in the palm of his hand, and then he stroked his palms on the wine jug, just a moment, Qingyun Dao people laughed: "It's done!"

Just as he opened the lid of the pot, the guests near Qingyun immediately smelled a mellow aroma of wine.

Seeing that the technique was successful, Daoist Qingyun first walked to Bai Shijun with a pot and filled the gold bottle that had just been emptied. Then, he handed the flask to the waitress next to the table and asked her to pour wine for the other male guests in the room.

After a while, all the empty wine glasses specially prepared during the banquet had been emptied, and a rich aroma of wine immediately filled the pillow table. When the lake water in the cup turned into the entrance of the wine, a series of praises sounded in the banquet.

Seeing Qingyun show his hand, the guests and hosts in the audience were a little impressed by him.

It's just that in this piece of happiness, there is one person who is not so happy. This person is the awakening. Now that he is a good cultivator of righteousness and Taoism, after carefully watching the Qingyun Dao people's "Wine Brewing Tour", he also has a good understanding of illusion. It's just that when he sipped the wine that the Taoist priest had turned into into his mouth, he found that the entrance was still a light and tasteless lake.

"Illusion is just illusion after all......"

Gaze at the contents of the cup, and know the truth immediately. Looking at the jubilant guests next to him, he felt a little regretful: "That's it, if you don't have the ability to cultivate, wouldn't you be able to drink a thousand cups of wine tonight?"

When he was thinking wildly, in order not to spoil everyone's interest, he had to pretend to be happy and drank a whole glass of water.

When the jubilation subsided slightly, the Qingyun Daoist who was in high spirits said that he still had a trick of "empty bottles and flowers". Who knows, when he explained the spell briefly, the little girl next to him who had been silent for a long time finally couldn't help muttering: "My brother will also change ......"

"Oh?"

Hearing Qiong Wei's words, Bai Shijun was surprised, so he asked Qingyun to stop for a while, and then asked if what the girl said was true. After he nodded yes, Bai Shijun became interested, so he asked Xingyan to show everyone like Qingyun. couldn't help it, so Xingyan had no choice but to get up and prepare to perform the method of flowering in an instant.

In fact, for Xingyan, I have just seen Qingyun's "Wine Brewing Tour", which can almost grow flowers out of thin air according to the principle of illusion. It's just that for the sake of insurance, he is still ready to show his familiar method of "flowers bloom instantly".

In the eyes of everyone, Xingyan slowly came to the water pavilion and carefully looked at the layers of lotus flowers by the water. After looking at it for a while, he selected a lotus bud that had not been released, and turned to everyone and said: "Everyone, please see, this water lotus flower is waiting to be released, and now I will urge it to bloom." ”

As soon as the words fell, before he could recite any incantations like Qingyun Daoist, a burst of bright green light suddenly came out of his palm, and the green shadows were colorful, and wisps of them were wrapped around the tender buds. And when the turquoise light just touched the lotus bud, this tightly closed flower bone, like a blow, suddenly expanded, seeing the petals peel off layer by layer, in a blink of an eye it unfolded into a delicate and full lotus, swaying with the wind in the night lake breeze, like smiling at people.

Seeing the flower bones bloom into a blooming lotus, everyone's amazement was no less than that of Fang Cai. Bai Shijun, the unequaled county guard who was not focused on solicitation, is now also impressed by the awakening words. It's just that they don't know yet, with the current ability of this new Dao Sect master, Taihua Dao power is coming, and Xu Yao Guanghua is gone, not to mention a lotus bud, even if it is a large lotus pond, it can make them all bloom!

Seeing that the spell was successful, Xingyan didn't linger much, turned to smile at the surprised guests, and returned to his seat.

When he returned to his seat, Bai Shijun naturally admired it, and said that he thought that Xingyan was just excellent in swordsmanship, but he didn't expect this illusion to become so ingenious. Seeing Qingyun Xingyan's skillful performance, Bai Shijun was in high spirits, but also felt a little pity: "It's a pity that I'm not here, otherwise this wine feast will definitely be more lively!"

Among these jubilant guests, there was one who was secretly surprised at this time. This person is the Qingyun Taoist priest who has just turned water into wine.

Unlike the others in the seat, the ordinary Qingyun Dao people knew very well the mastery of the young man's method of urging flowers for a moment. He understands that although his illusionary simulacrum anthropomorphism is nothing more than an illusion of the viewer. The so-called "wine brewing tour" and "empty bottle of flowers", after the implementation of the clear water is still clear water, empty bottle or empty bottle, but the viewer mistakenly thinks that the water has the smell of wine and the bottle of flowers. Therefore, although these spells may seem magical, they are actually just small tricks for cultivators.

But just now, Qingyun saw clearly, the young man who came suddenly made the lotus bud bloom in an instant, but he really let it open. This spell that can reverse nature, Qingyun knows very well, it is the "moment the flower blooms" of the Taoist Thirty-six Heavenly Gang*. And these 36 Heavenly Gangs* are subtle and profound, and they are really beyond the comprehension of ordinary cultivators.

Knowing this, and thinking about Xue Yi's breathing appearance before, for some reason, this Qingyun Dao person, who was at the bottom of the government, actually showed some hesitation in his eyes.

He was hesitating in his heart, and he had returned to his seat, holding a cup in both hands to thank Little Grandpa Bai for his praise. At this moment, Qingyun suddenly saw the black and white ring between his left fingers, and immediately couldn't help but change his complexion: Qingyun Dao Chang, who had excellent eyesight, saw that around the black smoky jade in the young man's ring, the circle that looked like snow silk and silver dust was actually a circle of fine jade-like white bones!

The gossip was skipped, not to mention the fear in the hearts of Qingyun Dao people, and the unequaled son, who drank a few more glasses of wine, saw that the two girls beside Xingyan were bright and picturesque, and unconsciously there was another burst of wine, and he sighed a little in his heart: "Cough, this Kou girl, compared with that person, is only between the best." If I, Bai Shijun, can marry one of them in this life and be with him for a long time, then why bother to have any ambitions. ”

Thinking of this, this young man's unparalleled Taishou, who had been ambitious all the way, was a little gloomy: "Alas, I don't know why that person is so cold here." More than half a month has passed, and he only wants to see me two or three times......"

"Could it be that she is really bent on converting to the Qingjing Dao Sect now?"

It turned out that Xingyan didn't know that in this year of famine, such a luxurious night banquet in front of him, the amorous son beside him had set up more than a dozen scenes in the pillow pavilion closest to Yingxiantai, almost singing every night. And the host of all these extravagant night banquets is just hoping that he can use such a drinking and singing voice to attract the woman who is accustomed to luxurious scenes to come to the city to have a look, cross the jade bridge, and meet him. Who would have thought that the woman who was born extremely wealthy lived in the Yingxiantai Garden, and lived in a simple place, as if this trip was really just to spend the summer.

Just when Bai Shijun was thinking about being a little sad, he suddenly saw something, his expression immediately moved, and he raised his glass and asked Xingyan: "Brother Xingyan, I see a jade flute hanging on your waist, I don't know if you are familiar with this flute art?"

Listening to his question, Xingyan didn't think of anything else, so he replied honestly: "I'm not afraid of the son's shame, I am a first-class flute artist, and I have indeed worked hard." ”

Hearing him say this, Bai Shijun's face was overjoyed, and he pleaded sincerely: "Then Brother Xingyan, can you do this county a favor?"

Suddenly, seeing Bai Shijun become so polite, Xingyan was just confused, so he had to say that if he did what he could, he would definitely help. Hearing his answer, Bai Shijun was immediately overjoyed, and told the truth of the matter: "I won't tell you, there is such a Xuerui Qiong-like girl by your side, and in my unparalleled mansion, there is also a beautiful fairy who is also the best in the world." ”

"Oh, then I want to congratulate Bai Gongzi Jinwu Zangjiao. ”

Hearing Bai Shijun suddenly talk about the wind and snow, he was confused, so he had to echo it. Hearing his words, the handsome and peerless Bai Junshou sighed and said helplessly: "Alas...... This person is not my golden house. She's just a guest in my house. ”

Hearing him say this, a flash of inspiration flashed in the minds of some dazed young men, and suddenly thought: "Could it be that the distinguished guest mentioned by the sword during the day is this woman?"

was speculating, only to hear Bai Shijun continue: "Wake up and say that you don't know, this female guest is a little unaccustomed to crowded places, so she will go to the banquet tonight." Otherwise, I will show you something!"

"Ah, that's a pity. ”

Observing the words and looking at the situation, he replied, and most of what he said was the heart of this young county guard. Hearing him say this, a smile immediately appeared on Bai Shijun's face, and he said eagerly: "Actually, if you want to see her, it's not very difficult. ”

"Oh?"

"That's right, I know that this beautiful woman has been very fond of flute music lately, and if you try your best to play a song, if you can have something beautiful about it, maybe you will be able to attract her to follow the sound and come to see her!"

"Oh, I see. ”

Hearing this, Xingyan said in his heart, it turned out that after talking for most of the day, Bai Junshou just asked him to play the flute -- what is the difficulty in playing the flute? This is exactly what he does! Thinking that this matter is easy to do, Xingyan was just about to answer generously, but saw Bai Shijun laugh again and added: "Brother Xingyan, you will definitely know in the future, if you can attract the honored guest in my mansion tonight to take a look, it will be the creation of your three-life cultivation!"

Speaking of this, Bai Shijun's face was radiant and radiant. Seeing him like this, Xingyan was also aroused by six or seven points of interest, and quickly got up and left the table, went to Taixie Shuimei, and played the flute at Qiulu Lake under the moon.

At the beginning, the faint flute sounds near the water have not attracted the attention of the people in the audience. It's just that, gradually, everyone found that in the quiet water lakes and mountains under the moon, there was a wisp of water in the sky, like a cold spring flowing through the white stone, and the ears were incomparably clear.

On a quiet moonlit night, how can we hear the sound of deep mountain springs and streams? Looking back at the source, it turned out to be the young man who could make the flowers bloom instantly, holding the flute to the wind, playing the flute song on the shore of the clear lake.

At this moment, most of the guests in this room are well-informed; why don't they know the wind and moon song board and the smoke willow painting boats? It's just that listening to this flute song under the moon now makes them feel a strange and strange feeling in their hearts: The clear and elegant flute sound, sometimes it is clear and exciting, sometimes it is moist, but no matter how slow or urgent, it seems to be integrated with the mountains, rivers, moons and clouds, and it is no longer possible to distinguish what melody is at the bottom and what music score.

And the melodious flute song, the more ethereal it became, as if it came from the clouds.

Listening to such a dusty flute sound, everyone was immersed in it, even the unequaled son, who forgot the original meaning of letting the young man play the flute, and just listened stupidly.

When such an otherworldly flute sound was wandering between the water, the moon and the clouds, and the meaning of this flute song was beyond the dust, suddenly a burst of singing came from the side of the lake and mountain. This wisp of singing like a fairy sound, singing: "The sea of clouds embraces the high Tang Dynasty fog, the sideburns, the wind, the mustache, the slightly combed fairy clothes, the roll of the fairy clothes, the clouds and the clouds, the waist is slender, a pillow, the dream is fragrant, the clouds are half-sailing, the endless rivers and mountains are listened to the railing, the frost tube is in the toad palace, the cold fragrance is ............"

This kind of singing that works seamlessly with the flute music has gradually come from the lake breeze, but it has made it more clear and secluded, like snow in the falling moon.

And when this song without fireworks rose from the side of the lake and mountain, the flute boy didn't hear it, but he still had no distractions, and finished it naturally. It's just that when the singing fades away, he wakes up like a dream. The voice is......

"Is that her?!"

Realizing such a familiar singing voice, Xingyan suddenly felt a shock in his heart, quickly opened his eyes wide, and tried his best to look towards the other side of the lake and mountain - only to see that in a quiet and elegant moonlight, there was a girl in white like a dream, leaning on the white jade bridge!

When the drunken young man saw this face again that he didn't know how many times his soul had been bypassed, all his previous doubts and sorrows disappeared in an instant, and he didn't know whether he was urged by the wine or held by the song, but at this moment he only had one thing in his mind to think about repeatedly: "I want to meet her!"

Look at the front of him, at this time, the only thing that can still block him is the sparkling Yanbo Ping Lake in front of him. Almost without thinking, the young man who had a frenzied attack jumped into the clear lake with a few exclamations behind him!

...... The smoke is vast, and a ping can be crossed.

The Shangqing boy who came from the Luofu Cave was flying at the moment, standing on a green lotus leaf, and floated towards the end of the lake and mountain.

At this time, there was silence in the song and dance building behind him.

"It's Sister Ju Ying!"

The silence in the Pillow Flow Pavilion was suddenly broken by a crisp voice. And the little girl who got up excitedly was about to fly away after her brother, but was gently pulled by the woman beside her—at this time, everyone's eyes were either surprised or suspicious, and all eyes converged on the young man who had gone away in the lake. And the Luqiu Lake in front of him, which had been poured by Bai Shijun and Zhang Xingyan successively, also seemed to be no longer quiet; in the waterway behind the floating waves, fish and carp shining with silver moonlight were jumping up from time to time.

Just when Xingyan Mu was dressed in moonlight, and Yuqi Lingbo walked quickly to the white jade arch bridge, the girl who was leaning on the railing, blooming her quiet makeup like a lotus, exhaled like an orchid, and chanted leisurely under the bridge: "Lonely and proud...... Who's hiding?"

The young man who approached him smiled when he heard the sound, but when he was about to answer, he hesitated slightly, and then he stretched out his right hand, and turned Taihua slightly, and saw an ethereal and transparent red lotus, which was condensing out of thin air in his hand. So Xingyan smiled at the flowers, and chanted to the smoke-like man on the bridge: "The same flowers bloom...... Is it late?"

At that time, the heavens and the earth were silent, and only the streamers were flying.
