Chapter Seventy-Six: Ambition
Xiao Yuesheng waved his hand, which seemed to be a trivial matter.
"Master, you are monks, far away from the red dust, why did you get involved again?" Xiao Yuesheng began to try to resolve their grievances with Zhang Qingyun.
Juekong inherited Xiao Yuesheng's kindness, although he did not show gratitude on the surface, but he already remembered it in his heart, and his surname was simple, and he was close to Xiao Yuesheng, so he naturally told everything that had happened.
In the crackling sound of the burning pine branches, Xiao Yuesheng groaned for a while, letting the firelight dance gently on his face.
"Master, Buddhism attaches great importance to cause and effect, planting cause and effect, cause and effect cycle, retribution is unpleasant, in the next thought, the master should not interfere too much. ...... The Nanshan Gang is not a decent family, it must be a person who wants to repay his kindness, although Zhang's methods are quite spicy, but he is not a villain, and it is difficult to distinguish who is right and who is wrong. ”
Xiao Yuesheng said slowly, his voice was clear and peaceful, and his expression was sincere, which made people feel a sense of trust.
Seeing that Juekong wanted to speak, he rushed to the front, "Even if the master wants to intervene, he must not be in a hurry, but secretly send someone to find out what happened, and then draw conclusions, so as not to make irreparable mistakes." What does the master think?"
After speaking, he put a piece of dried meat in his mouth, took the purple gold gourd in Guo Poyu's hand, took a sip, and said so many words, he felt that he had to moisten his throat.
He poured a few sips of Biwu wine, and the mellow aroma escaped from his mouth, and his abdomen burned like a blazing fire, and then turned into heat and dispersed in his limbs, which was indescribably beautiful.
This wine is deeply Taoist rhyme, extremely restrained, preemptive, mellow and soft when entering the mouth, but into the abdomen but turned into a strong liquor that burns the belly, few people can afford it.
"Lord Xiao Shi is right!"
Juekong thought about it for a while, and was greatly admired, acting like this, it is a prudent move, his own senior brother, it is really a little reckless, fortunately no one died, otherwise it is really as Xiao Shizhu said, there is a reason for the incident, and the party that is responsible for the loss is the Nanshan Gang, isn't it a pity to hold the sky!
"Alas-" Xiao Yuechang sighed and put down the purple gold gourd, "The grievances and hatreds in the world, right and wrong, are always intricate and entangled, without the power of the Buddha, how can you perceive everything?
His eyes were focused on the bright flames, under the blazing firelight, his expression had a faint sense of vicissitudes, and his eyes were as bright as gold stars, shining brightly.
"Amitabha-, thanks to Lord Xiao's golden and jade words, the poor monk has been taught. Juekong clasped his palms together and bowed to Xiao Yuesheng through the brazier, he could feel the sincere concern in the other party's words, and he was greatly moved.
Xiao Yuesheng shook his head, didn't say anything more, raised the purple gold gourd, and poured wine up to the sky.
In the crackling and burning sound, there was a sudden sound, which was small at first, but grew louder and louder, and in a few breaths, it had become like thunder.
But it was the monk Jueyin holding the purple gold gourd, his face was red, and the firelight was shining, as if covered with a red cloth, playing like thunder, sitting and sleeping very soundly.
"Senior Brother-, Senior Brother!" Monk Juekong shook Jueyin and called softly.
"Uh-huh......" Jueyin actually answered twice, stopped playing, but his eyes were not open, and he slept soundly, and after a few breaths, he began to open his mouth again, making a roaring sound.
Juekong was helpless, and snatched the purple gold gourd that Jueyin was holding tightly in his arms.
The sleeping Jueyin's big eyes suddenly opened, and two cold rays shot out coldly, staring at the purple gold gourd in the hands of the senior brother, only the gourd was seen in his eyes, and the senior brother was not seen.
Juekong's right hand trembled, and the gourd he was holding lightly dodged Jueyin's hungry tiger pounce.
Xiao Yuesheng stretched out his hand to hold Jueyin through the brazier, after all, he was drunk, although the speed of the pounce was extremely fast, his reaction was much sluggish, and he didn't have time to retract his strength, if it weren't for Xiao Yuesheng's quick eyes, he would definitely have a hungry dog to gnaw on the mud.
In a bumper, Xiao Yuesheng's internal force entered Jueyin's body, forcing out the steaming wine in his body.
"Huh?...... Senior brother, what's wrong?" Jueyin's physique is excellent, even more so Guo Poyu, as soon as the alcohol is removed, he immediately regained his consciousness, and there are still some impressions just now in the haze, but it seems to be illusory and real, and he asked Senior Brother in some confusion.
"Senior brother, we should go back!" Juekong handed him back the purple gourd, saving his eyes from focusing on it.
"Well, okay, let's go. Jueyin took the gourd with some joy and replied casually, he has always been the only senior brother who looks forward to the horse, whether to leave or stay, and it is none of his own business.
Juekong turned his head to Xiao Yuesheng and titheed: "Master Xiao, the two poor monks will retire for the time being." ”
Xiao Yuesheng looked at the dark sky through the open window, "Why are the two masters in such a hurry?...... It's getting late, so it's not too late to stay here for one night, and it's not too late to return. ”
Juekong turned around and turned to the window, looked at the night, there were no stars and no moon, it was as dark as ink, it was not the time to hurry, but he was worried about the truth of the matter in his heart, and he couldn't wait to figure it out immediately, he really didn't want to delay any longer, so he turned around and smiled: "It's okay, although the poor monk's skills can't be done in vain, but it is enough to hurry, and he is eager to find out what happened, and he can't accompany the donor, please forgive me!"
Xiao Yuesheng bowed her jaw and signaled understanding.
"Master Xiao, thank you for your wine gourd!" Jueyin's face was slightly red, and he titheed, although he was not narrow-minded, he was easily defeated by the other party, and he always felt a little shorter, quite uncomfortable.
Xiao Yuesheng shook his head, but smiled silently.
He reached into his arms, suddenly took out a snow-white jade pendant, handed it to Juekong casually, and said with a smile: "Master, this jade pendant is a personal belonging, if you have time in the future, please also invite the two masters to go to Xiao's Guanlan Villa to meet, the villa is on the shore of the South Lake in Jiaxing." Entering the city of Jiaxing, showing the jade pendant, naturally someone stepped forward to lead the way. ”
Then he smiled at Jueyin: "If Master Jueyin wants to drink Biwu wine, he will wait for him in the village, and he will make the master drink happily!"
Jueyin couldn't help but grin.
Juekong took the crystal clear jade pendant, and was not polite, carefully put it in his arms, watching his junior brother laugh happily, he couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, slowly stood up, and titheed Xiao Yuesheng who got up again, and pulled Jueyin, who was still smiling, and said, "Let's go!"
Turning and walking, he stepped out of the warm hut with a bright fire.
When Xiao Yuesheng came out of the house to send the two away, when he came back, his brother-in-law Guo Poyu was already lying on the ground, frowning, and sleeping very deeply.
Xiao Yuesheng couldn't help but chuckle, his brother-in-law seemed to be still preoccupied, even if he was sleeping, he was frowning.
Easily cast an enchantment, enveloping Guo Poyu in it, making it cold and invasive, Xiao Yuesheng walked out of the hut, lightly vertical, and fell on the roof like a flutter.
It was dark all around, sitting on the roof, the light in the room was slightly revealed, and the five fingers could still be seen when stretched out.
The cold wind gradually rose, and there was a whistling sound as it passed through the pine forest, which was particularly poignant in this cold night when the birds and insects were silent. In such weather, in a bright room, with the delicate body of warm nephrite, lying in the hot quilt is the greatest enjoyment.
Looking at the pine forest with black shadows shaking, Xiao Yuesheng's gaze swept up obliquely, until the pitch-black sky dome, feeling the surging vitality around him, he was missing his wife The mood suddenly rose, with the vitality surging, he knew that a snow would fall on the earth again.
With the advancement of Taoism, he has a more and more detailed understanding of nature and heaven and earth, and can only admire the wonder of creation, although the sky is dark and lightless, but it cannot stop his gaze, above the clouds, the dark clouds surge, magnificent, all under his eyes.
"Brother-in-law,...... How is it up there?" Suddenly hearing Guo Xiang's crisp voice, she was standing in the bright light in front of the house, holding a bundle of pine branches in her hand, looking up at Xiao Yuesheng.
"Hmm,...... I'm looking at the scenery!" he replied with a smile, he couldn't say that he missed his wives at home, so come up and get rid of the lovesickness.
Guo Xiang pursed his lips and chuckled, turned his head, looked at the dark sky, the surroundings were also a blur, nothing could be seen clearly, where was there any scenery to see, there must be something in mind, she was smart and icy, and guessed ** in a blink of an eye.
"Where's the captive?" she saw her brother-in-law sitting there alone, and she always felt uncomfortable in her heart, as if she could feel the loneliness in his heart.
"He slept soundly. Xiao Yuesheng looked at her sister-in-law and found that she was no longer a little girl, looking at the beauty under the lamp, it was really the best, under the warm firelight, Xiang'er looked delicate and abnormal, and it was moving.
In today's Song Dynasty society, women are twenty-eight years old, that is, sixteen years old, and they are suitable for marriage, and Xiao Yuesheng's concept of coming from modern people is still deep-rooted, and she always thinks that girls are only adults when they reach twenty, so they always regard Guo Xiang as a little girl, and now he suddenly realized that the sister-in-law is so beautiful, not inferior to her eldest sister, and in two years, she must be a top beauty.
Guo Xiang nodded, didn't say anything more, and went back to their room lightly with pine branches.
Xiao Yuesheng's gaze crossed the dark night sky, observing the clouds in the sky, and his heart gradually surged with pride, wanting to overflow out of his body, and he wanted to do something to comfort his heart, but unfortunately his poetry talent was not good, and he couldn't write poetry.
A yaoqin appeared out of thin air in his hand, with a Fuxi-style body, without any color, only the strings were as white as silver, shining with a glittering light in the dark night, which was extremely eye-catching.
The house he built was all flat-roofed, saving a lot of things, sitting on it, extremely stable, Yaoqin rested on his lap, poured the jasper bottle that appeared in his hand and poured it full, slowly drank a big sip, Meimei sighed, the jade bottle was placed beside him, the wine was strong and heroic, and it was even more squirting.
"Zheng-Zheng-Zheng-" He lightly twisted the white strings, and the clear tone suddenly began, and the beginning was the tune of the feather sign, like thunder on the flat ground, straight into the sky.
"A laugh in the sea--the tide on both sides of the strait-" Qingyue's voice sounded with the sound of the piano, like a crane clearing, with the sound of the piano, cutting through the darkness and resounding between heaven and earth.
Xiao Yuesheng's voice was already clear and warm, coupled with the vast and infinite internal force, under the agitation of the mood, it was like a dragon chanting for nine days, resounding through the heavens and the earth, surrounded by pine trees, green needles falling in a row, like needle rain. The flames in the house also jumped and lit up.
Although he has no poetic talent, he has a preference for singing, which is really an excellent way to relax his feelings, so some popular songs in modern society are moved by him, put on the poems of the society in which he lives, chant and sing by himself, and enjoy himself.
The songs that can be used by his lyrics and songs are only a few famous songs that are quite classical and heroic, and this one is one of them.
"Ups and downs with the waves-, just remember-today-"
His eyes were slightly closed, his fingers were soothing, calm and calm, and he let the Yifei feelings surging in his chest drive him to sing a long song, although he was a demon in his heart, but he didn't want to stop it.
"The sky-laughing-, the world-strife-disturbed-"
His lyrics are not exactly the same as the original, but they are changed arbitrarily, as he likes, but he wants to express his pride.
"Whoever loses wins--who knows-"
At this point in the long song, the voice turned low, and he sighed faintly, so he sighed with infinite emotion.
The jade bottle was held by the invisible hand to his mouth, slowly tilted, poured wine into the mouth, and Xiao Yuesheng's hands did not stop, the long fingers twisted and plucked, and the sound of the piano gradually climbed higher from the low, as if the two white cranes he had adopted, fluttering up, flying higher and higher.
The jade bottle fluttered back to Xiao Yuesheng's side, the white strings on his knees shone brightly, a little brighter than at the beginning, and the body of the piano that blended into the night was enveloped and entangled by the phantom of white light, which was extremely dazzling.
Xiao Yuesheng didn't look down at the body of the piano, he looked at the pitch-black sky from afar, and raised his neck and let out a long howl, which sounded to stop the clouds.
"The mountains are laughing, the snow is drifting-"
His voice turned higher again, and the clearer and more rushed straight into the dark clouds, as if he was full of vitality again, no longer the loneliness just now, magnificent and heroic, passionate and heroic.
At this moment, small snow fell from the sky, which coincided with his singing.
Vertical and horizontal, the generous and high-spirited piano sound came to an abrupt end, and Xiao Yue's roaring sound rose from the sky, the whistling sound was extremely short, and then there was a long laugh.
Zhang Qingyun and the four of them in the room had already closed their mouths when the piano sounded and listened attentively.
The warm and moist true qi that kept circulating in their bodies seemed to be able to experience the excitement of their masters, and the flow became faster and faster, gradually, several times faster than usual, and in their bodies, they were like lightning and walked for a great week.
Xiao Yuesheng was excited, and unconsciously, the surrounding vitality surged, enveloping the entire room, the vitality moved with the sound of his piano, active and abnormal, the clear flow in the body of Zhang Qingyun's master and apprentice was the same source as the surrounding vitality, naturally attracting, becoming stronger and stronger, in the blink of an eye, it had become mighty, even more than their enclosed internal force.
Guo Xiang and Zhang Qingyun's master and apprentice were fascinated by it, and were moved by their Qingyue extravagant feelings, and their hearts rose and fell with the sound of the piano, and they were intoxicated.
Suddenly, the sound of the piano stopped, and Xiao Yuesheng roared again, Zhang Qingyun and the others had not yet woken up, and suddenly caught off guard, a long howl, almost made her heart pop out, her face was slightly flushed, and she couldn't help but whisper: "What a weirdo!"
But his eyes were tightly closed, not looking at the expressions of the people around him.
The song sung by Xiao Yuesheng shows a heroic momentum that is very contrary to his usual gentle and leisurely temperament, which is confusing, but also a little curious.
Guo Xiang carried the pine branch into the house, added it to the stone basin, wanted to go out again, jumped on the house, talked to his brother-in-law, and talked about his loneliness.
Unexpectedly, before the pine branches were added, the sound of the piano had already sounded.
Guo Xiang was born a little more heroic than others, likes to make friends from all over the world, and is extremely longing for the martial arts, Xiao Yuesheng sings, heroic and detached, as if he has seen all kinds of flowers in the world, although with a faint sense of dust, but the pride, but the pride makes Miss Guo Er feel very comfortable, and she can't lead to singing, singing with her brother-in-law.
Hearing Zhang Qingyun's whispering, Guo Xiang glanced at her, not only was he not angry, but he was faintly proud, he was called Xiao Dongxi, and his brother-in-law was called a strange person, but he was a fellow believer.
"Alas, I didn't expect Master Xiao Zhuang to have such a mind!" Duan Ziyan sighed and sighed to the junior sister lying beside him.
Qin Siying nodded, her eyes were slightly hazy, still immersed in the artistic conception of the song.
"Huh?" she snapped into surprise.
"What's wrong, junior sister?" Duan Ziyan asked hurriedly.
"Senior sister, do you feel that there are any changes in your body?" Qin Siying asked in a cautious whisper.
"Change?...... Huh?" Duan Ziyan was first confused, then surprised, and his snow-white face was full of surprise.
"Senior sister, is it true that your strength has recovered and your injuries have healed?" Qin Siying asked cautiously, a little uncertain.
Duan Ziyan smiled, suddenly sat up, and said with a smile: "You lie down first and don't move!"
After that, he stood up from the couch again, waved his tender lotus-like arm, and carried the internal force, but unfortunately the long sword was not by his side, so he could only use a few sword moves with his bare hands under the gaze of his sister and master, and carefully felt the situation in his body.
"Okay, it's indeed fully recovered!" Duan Ziyan was relieved, although she already felt that her body was fine, but Xiao Yuesheng's words made her feel that she couldn't help but listen, she was afraid that what she felt was just an illusion, once she moved, the consequences would be unpredictable, so she got up first and tried it, so as not to have any accidents between her senior sister and master.
"Sister Duan, you said your injuries have healed?" Guo Xiang stood in front of the brazier, looking at Duan Ziyan who was dancing on the couch, extremely worried.
"Yes, Sister Guo, I didn't expect it to be so wonderful, why did all of a sudden, such a serious injury suddenly disappear?!" Duan Ziyan stopped dancing, feeling that he didn't have to try again, and leaned down to help Master get up, while answering Guo Xiang's words.
Qin Siying also got up to help Zhang Qingyun.
Zhang Qingyun pushed away the hands of the two of them, got off the wooden couch neatly, his heart was also full of doubts, and after thinking about it slightly, he guessed that it must be related to Xiao Yuesheng's piano sound.
At this moment, a long whistle suddenly sounded from afar.
Its clear air came to his face, although it could not be compared with Xiao Yuesheng's warm and free voice, but it was also a rare clear voice.
Guo Xiang hurriedly handed over the three long swords next to the brazier to Zhang Qingyun's master and apprentice, turned around and hurriedly walked out of the house, she knew that someone was coming again.
When I came to the house, I saw my brother-in-law holding a jade bottle, looking up to the sky and drinking, and the bright white strings of the yaoqin in his knees emitted a faint light, shining the jade bottle's turquoise crystal. There are only three shades of sake in the bottle, and when it shakes gently, it looks clear and warm.
"Brother-in-law, shall I go up?" Guo Xiang raised her voice, she looked at the light snow falling from the sky, and she was full of joy.
"Well, come on. Xiao Yuesheng took the jade bottle away from his mouth, and reached out to wipe the wine stains overflowing from the corner of his mouth, as rough as a hero in the green forest.
Guo Xiang stepped lightly on the grass, jumped up quickly, and faced the breeze and snow, like a fluttering butterfly, and landed lightly beside Xiao Yuesheng.
Xiao Yuechang waved his sleeves, brushed away a thin layer of snowflakes on his side, patted his palm, and motioned for Guo Xiang to sit here.
Guo Xiang's beautiful little face was slightly red, and he sat down a little shyly, with his legs on his knees, extremely elegant, next to his brother-in-law.
"Has anyone come, brother-in-law?" Guo Xiang heard a clear howl again at this time, but he only used his skills to investigate, but found nothing.
Xiao Yuesheng nodded, pushed the Yaoqin on his lap to Guo Xiang, who was sitting elegantly beside him on his knees, and said with a smile: "Xiang'er, let's talk about a tune." ”
As he spoke, he held the bottle in both hands and took another big sip of sake.
Qingmeng wine is another kind of wine he made himself, the taste is completely different from the biwu wine, the first taste is light like water, and the abdomen is overflowing with a light fragrance, and there is no strong aroma, but the fragrance is in the intestines, making people clear and transparent, fluttering like a fairy.
"Brother-in-law,...... I'm not good at the piano, and I can't play it well......" Guo Xiang took the yaoqin, but he didn't move, lowered his head, and was extremely ashamed.
Xiao Yuesheng turned his head and smiled gently, "Xiang'er, playing the piano is just for self-entertainment and distraction, you don't have to care if you are good or not, even if you play around, as long as you make yourself happy and comfortable, it is a good thing." ”
Guo Xiang listened, breathed a long sigh of relief, then no longer polite, legs from sitting side by knee to cross-knee, put Yaoqin on it, as for where the qin changed from, and what is special, she no longer thinks about it, it is no longer strange.
Inhaled gently, with solemnity on her beautiful face, her delicate and white fingers pressed lightly on the snow-white strings, and the clear voice of Cong Cong flowed softly, pouring out from her fingers.
Xiao Yuesheng gently closed his eyes, his fingers moved slightly, and he should close the piano song, and the snowflakes sprinkled in the sky gradually became larger, like petals and peach blossoms were scattered by the fairies above the nine heavens.
"Hehe, what an elegant piano sound!" a clear voice came from the forest.
The sound of hooves in the forest was soft, and three horses slowly came out, and the three people on horseback were dressed as white as snow, even in the dark night, they were still faintly white.
Xiao Yuesheng already knew about the approach of the three of them, but they were drunk and didn't bother to pay attention, they didn't come forward, and they were happy to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Even in the woods, the three horsemen are still standing in the shape of a character, the previous one has a handsome face, a sachet and jade pendant hanging on the waist, a hero scarf, a white crane, eyes like a star, a nose like a hanging gall, handsome and heroic.
Behind him are two petite and delicate women, their faces are almost identical, they are twin sisters at a glance, just a smile at the corner of their lips, one is as cold as frost, they are all beautiful, far beyond ordinary people, and they are not inferior to Guo Xiang next to Xiao Yuesheng.
The two of them were also dressed in snow-white shirts, each carrying a long brocade bag on their backs, although Xiao Yuesheng didn't care, he also knew that they were each wrapped with a yaoqin and a long sword.
"Dongfang Lei in the Lower Hidden Sword Valley, I came rashly, and I hope that the master will not be disturbed!" The voice was clear and sincere, which made people feel good.
