Most of the inns are full, and people have to go to the temple to settle down, which is Xiao Shuying's remnant temple, which is now also prosperous, and many people live here.

The moon in the sky is bright, the stars are dim, and the silver light is sprinkled all over, and everything in the world is covered with a faint veil, hazy, soft and beautiful.

Inside the ruined temple, the lights were bright, and a bonfire was burning in the center, reflecting the people sitting around in red, and the smell of burning grass branches wafted in the house.

Most of the people are dressed in Confucian shirts, with scholars on their side, or there are scholars with them, or alone, which is the attire of the current scholars, they either hold a book in their hands, or two or three people gather in one place to fight, everyone speaks, and most of them whisper, do not disturb others, and the rough way of martial arts high-rollers is very different.

"Brother Li, this Shuyuzhai is famous all over the world this time!" After all, there was a loud voice among the readers, although they spoke in a low voice, they sounded in everyone's ears like thunder.

Everyone heard this, and couldn't help but look at the voice, but the person who spoke was a strong man with a big waist and a round waist, sitting in the west corner of the room, leaning against the wall.

He is sturdy and dressed in a moon-white Confucian shirt, which is a little old, and when he wears it on his body, there is no sense of abruptness, which is very rare.

He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his face is slightly dark, as if he is often under the sun, and he looks even more robust, and when he sees that everyone is looking at him, he can't help but have a slightly hot face, and his eyes are lowered, but outsiders can't see the change in his face.

Sitting next to him was a thin and fair-skinned scholar, the moon-white Confucian shirt was worn on him, a little more elegant, he was good-looking, with bright eyebrows and clear eyes.

The two sat against the wall in the west corner of the room, and seemed to have no contact with everyone, but the thin scholar turned a blind eye to everyone's gaze, and said slowly: "Yes, Shuyuzhai really deserves its reputation!"

"Shuyuzhai is already very famous?" the sturdy scholar couldn't help asking, and then he was a little surprised, revealing his loneliness.

"Soyuzhai has branches in all major cities across the country,...... You don't like antique calligraphy and paintings, so it's no wonder you don't pay attention. The fair-skinned and thin young scholar smiled faintly.

"I see, no wonder so many people came!" the sturdy scholar nodded abruptly, and suddenly realized.

His voice was naturally loud, and although he muttered in a low voice, the people in the room could still hear it clearly, and he couldn't help but smile, and although he did his own thing, he couldn't help but prick up his ears to listen to the two of them.

"Brother Li, have you seen that picture of the empty mountains and lonely rain?" his expression was full of intense curiosity, even more so than just now.

Li Zhufeng, who was thin and weak, shook his head, shook the scroll in his hand, and sighed slightly: "There are too many people, and it is not yet the turn of ...... I'm number 507, I'm afraid I'll have to wait another day!"

"I'm number 607, haha, it's really a coincidence!" The sturdy Chen Bangyan couldn't help laughing, looking very happy, and attracting everyone's attention.

At this time, someone by the fire answered, and his voice was very clear, and he said loudly: "Hehe...... , the two brothers are polite,...... To say below, in order to take a look at this picture of empty mountains and lonely rain, even if you wait for ten days and half a month, you will never lose!"

"Oh, could it be that Brother Zhao has already seen it?" someone next to him asked.

This scholar surnamed Zhao has a face as white as jade, a few locks of hair under his chin, and he is indescribably handsome, and he is really an outstanding character.

"Yes, I have seen the empty mountain and rain map today, it is really ...... A work of heaven and man!" He stroked his chin and nodded, his clear eyes revealing a look of intoxication, and he couldn't help shaking his head, as if he hated himself for being too pale to describe.

"Really?!really?!"

"How's that going to be?"

People asked one after another, their faces were full of fascination and curiosity, most of them had only heard of its name, had not seen its face, were waiting, they had already been itching, and when they heard others talk about it, they hated that he could not do everything in detail.

"Little brother said it well, the empty mountains and lonely rain are really the work of heaven and man...... It's hard to imagine that ordinary people have such a mind and courage!" An old voice slowly rose, and the person who spoke was sitting in the east corner of the room, an old master, and he was also extraordinary, although he had a fluttering silver beard under his chin, his face was as ruddy as a baby, and his eyes were clear.

There were two middle-aged men sitting beside him, their backpacks bulging, their eyes shining, like two cold swords, their eyes swept from time to time, with a deep sense of vigilance, obviously the two of them were martial arts masters with profound internal skills.

"The old gentleman has also seen the picture of the lonely rain in the empty mountain?" The white-faced scholar surnamed Zhao who was sitting by the fire made a gesture and asked the old master to salute gently.

"Exactly, the old man has been idle recently, he has passed through Chengdu, and he didn't think that he had such an adventure, after reading it once, he still felt unfinished, and he was reluctant to leave, and he wanted to watch it again. "The old master is also easy, but there is a faint dignity.

These white-faced scholars are not officials, and they have little experience, so they can't notice that this old master is unusual, but seeing his awe-inspiring bearing, he must be a knowledgeable elder, and he unconsciously has a sense of respect in his heart.

"Yes, it's still unfinished, it's still unfinished!" The white-faced scholar surnamed Zhao sighed with affection, nodded vigorously, and then shook his head and sighed: "I don't know who this Guanlan monk is, he has never heard of it!"

"Listening to what the people of Shuyuzhai said, it should be true that he is a strange man in the mountains and wilderness who lives in seclusion, if he does not live in the famous mountains and Daze, it is difficult to raise such a vast atmosphere and paint such a masterpiece!" the old master nodded and sighed with emotion.

In the past, ordinary layman, he was too lazy to take care of it, but now he looked at the empty mountain and silent rain picture placed in Shuyu Zhai, and his thoughts were surging, and he was unable to calm down, not vomiting or unhappy, and Fang said so many things in front of everyone.

The white-faced scholar surnamed Zhao stroked his beard, and his face was full of admiration: "At noon today, Shuyuzhai was crowded with a bunch of people, and the weather was hot, standing in it at first, it was so hot that it was breathless, but when I saw the hanging picture of the empty mountain and the lonely rain, I suddenly felt cool, as if I was in the painting, in the empty and reckless mountains, drenched in the slightest light rain, it was really mysterious!"

"Yes, yes, people are in the painting, people are in the painting, this is such a wonderful place!" the old master slapped his right knee heavily, stroked his palm in admiration, and his ruddy face carried indescribable pleasure.

Everyone listened to the two of them, and their hearts were even more curious, as if countless ants were crawling in their hearts, and their hearts were itching, and they couldn't wait for their turn to look at this picture of empty mountains and rain.

"If it's like a strange painting, I don't know after all?!"

"Then we have to break the endgame set up by the Guanlan monks, this endgame is said to have the ability to disturb people's hearts, many people don't sit down for a long time, they spit blood, or yell, or cry bitterly, it's really weird!"

"I heard that Master Tianwen, a senior monk of Fuxian Temple, once cracked the game, but in the end he just sang a Buddha horn, said a word of bow, and left with a smile. ”

"Master Tianwen is our No. 1 chess master in Sichuan and Shu, if he is also restrained, I am afraid that there is no one to solve, it seems that there is only the blessing of watching!"

"Such a wonderful painting, being able to see it, is also a rare blessing, isn't it insatiable to be greedy?!"

Everyone talked about it, there were those who sighed, there were those who lamented, and there were those who were excited, and the temple was buzzing and lively.

In the early morning of summer, the sky is very early, the morning dew has not disappeared, the birds are chirping, the cold valley is quiet, the faint mist is shrouded, hazy, like a fairyland.

The breeze was slow, and a burst of laughter like a silver bell suddenly came from the cold lake with the wind, and then five hazy and graceful figures appeared in the mist, like a fairy Lingbo, fluttering.

Fluttershy and Xiaoqing, who are boiling water in the kitchen, greet each other, dressed in plain and elegant skirts, looking like fairies in Langyuan, and they don't eat the fireworks of the world.

With the refinement of Bishui Jue, the temperament of the two is clear and refined.

The five people who came from the lake were Xiao Yuesheng's five junior sisters, Xiao Shuying's skills were still shallow, led by Lin Xiaoqing, the five of them could walk leisurely on the cold lake, and their skills were already quite profound.

They are all dressed in brand-new satin suits, with different colors, showing off their graceful figures, and they seem to be not afraid of the eyes of the senior brother.

These practice clothes were also brought back by Xiao Yuesheng when he returned to the mountain, and asked them to replace the old ones, which were not only bright, but also had excellent textures, and were much more comfortable to wear than the original.

"Sister Fluttershy, isn't Senior Brother up yet?!" Liu Qingquan's delicate voice rang out, asking with resentment.

"Yes, Childe hasn't woken up yet. Fluttershy purses her lips and laughs, wearing a plain floral apron around her waist, revealing a little jasper-like enchantment.

"Hmph, big lazy!" Liu Qingquan was dressed in a green suit, heroic, stomping on his little boots, and complained hatefully.

"Okay, when we finish practicing, Senior Brother will naturally get up,...... Be quiet, don't disturb him, so as not to make him unhappy!" The third senior sister Lin Xiaoqing coaxed with a smile, her voice was still delicate, but in front of the junior sisters, she unconsciously revealed a senior sister's demeanor.

She was dressed in a purple suit, tall, convex and backward, extremely angry, if the man next to her saw it, it must be a soul grant, and she lost her soul.

Xiao Yuesheng got up angry, and several of their junior sisters had also learned it, but they didn't think it was anything, but they felt cute and didn't mess with him.

The group slowed down, glanced at the cabin, and crept through the kitchen hut into the woods.

There was a round clearing in the forest, the trees had been removed, the ground had been flattened, it looked quite smooth, but there were no stones, and the texture was quite strange.

The original trees on this clearing were not cut down at the beginning, but Xiao Yuesheng bent down and hugged them, and pulled them up, making the senior sisters stunned and speechless.

They first practiced the easy tendon forging bone method taught by the senior brother, stretched their bodies and became full of energy, and then they began to practice swords.

Xiao Shuying practiced the introductory swordsmanship, and the other four people were both catching and practicing against each other.

The birds around them are accustomed to it, and they don't frighten them away, but they just catch insects while glancing at them a few times, and by the way, they sing a few times.

When they are done practicing their swords, they go to Xiao Yuesheng's cabin to rest, and Fluttershy offers them tea and a few plates of snacks, and they chatter while waiting for the elder brother in the room to get up.

The group of females chirped and laughed, how could Xiao Yuesheng not wake up, so he could only get up helplessly.

Xiao Qing delicately carried the basin in silently, and served him to wash, dress, and arrange the bedding, just as careful when he lost his soul.

Soon, Xiao Yuesheng walked out of the bedroom in a green shirt and sighed loudly to the girls in the house: "Disturbing people's dreams again, what crime should you be guilty of?!"

"Hehe, senior brother, I can't complain about us, this is what the master meant, I won't let you sleep lazy!" Liu Qingquan, whose cheeks were flushed, smiled and smiled.

Wen Yubing saw that he was too lazy, and said to him a few times, but seeing that the effect was not good, he came up with such a vicious plan, and Xiao Yuesheng was also helpless.

"Alas, I'm so miserable!" Xiao Yuesheng sighed helplessly, sat down next to Li Ruoyun, and was very close to her, and the faint fragrance suddenly entered his nose, exuding people's hearts.

Li Ruoyun was dressed in a moon-white silk satin suit, and her face was as white as snow, clear and beautiful, as if ice and snow were bones and muscles.

Seeing that the senior brother was so close to him, Li Ruoyun glanced at him, but he didn't make any moves, with Xiao Yuesheng's jokes, she also became a lot more cheerful, although she was still silent, but she could already watch them laugh with the junior sisters.

Xiao Yuesheng took the snow porcelain teacup handed over by Lin Xiaoqing, took a sip, put it on the table, and said: "Fourth senior sister and fifth junior sister, today you go down the mountain once and send one thing to Shuyuzhai in Chengdu!"

"Go down the mountain, send something?" Yang Yuqi, the fourth disciple of the Shuiyun Sect, couldn't help but put down the snow porcelain teacup and asked, she was dressed in a pink power suit, looking delicate and charming, her voice was slightly hoarse, and her slightly thick lips were full of temptation.

"Senior brother, what are you going to give?!" Liu Qingquan was full of excitement, she was a little junior sister, she had been cared for by others, and it was not her turn to go down the mountain to do errands, this time she finally had the opportunity, and she was inevitably excited.

"Xiao Qing, bring over the things I got last night!" Xiao Yuesheng commanded, Xiao Qing, who was cleaning up the bed for him in the house, agreed delicately, and walked out, holding two pieces of rice paper in his hand, one large and one small.

The women looked curiously, and the rice paper was placed on the table, and what caught the eyes of the women was a landscape painting and a chess game.

In the painting, the mountains are shrouded in a light veil-like drizzle, and a figure looms in the mountains and forests, but it is not clear to see.

The subject matter is ordinary, but this painting has a strong attraction, which makes people look at it, and the mind can't help but be sucked into the painting, as if turning into the person in the painting, walking quietly in the lonely empty mountains, drizzling and cooling.
