Chapter 7: The Lovers
In the hall of elders of Huayanding, Tong Lele was squatting in the center of the main hall, wearing the same dark blue Taoist robe with a cloud pattern, a two-foot peach wood dust pinned to his waist, holding an ink tray in one hand and a brush in the other, seriously drawing various formation patterns on the ground. The water star generally fell into the hall, but it was so startled that the hairy boy fell to the ground, "oops" knocked over the ink tray in his hand, and in an instant, the beautiful navy blue cloud pattern robe and robe turned into haze in the clear sky, and the white clouds turned into dark clouds. Tong Lele was about to have a seizure in a panic, but when he looked up and saw that the person in front of him was Master Shuiyi, he lost his anger in an instant, so he slowly got up from the ground, quickly straightened the Taoist robe on his body three or two times, pulled out the dust on his waist, clasped his hands into fists, bent down and saluted: "Disciple Tong Lele, meet Uncle Shuiyi." ”
Shui Yi suddenly laughed even more happily: "Hahaha, no courtesy." Hahaha, isn't this just a dog-like little feather, good, good, hahaha......"
Tong Lele saw that Shui Yi was so disrespectful to the old, first he hurt himself not to say anything, but he also insulted his own master, he couldn't help but feel angry, but he didn't dare to attack, he clenched his fists with hatred and said: "What did the master say tonight, the moon is full tonight, I am afraid that there will be a change, and after dinner, I went to the back mountain to wash the elephant pool and keep vigil." After finishing speaking, he didn't take care of Shui Yi, picked up the ink plate brush that had been knocked over on the ground, squatted down again and continued to draw the formation pattern. When the water was poured out, he said no more, and turned and went out of the temple.
Washing elephant pond, surrounded by mountains and forests, ancient trees towering to the sky, white clouds are ethereal, one side of the six-sided pool, built on the top of Huayanding Mountain. At night, the bright moon is in the sky, the moonlight is reflected in the pool, the water and the sky are one color, the clear light is infinite, looking up at the galaxy, ethereal and immortal, just like the moonlit night of the pond.
Xun Yu Lao Dao was sitting alone in a corner of the pool, facing the pool, looking at the moon shadow in the pool, concentrating and resting. Suddenly feeling a sharp spiritual pressure, Lao Dao stood up and said: "Shui Yi old woman, this big night alone came to me Lao Dao, this lonely man and widow, don't you have any unsightly thoughts? The words were flirtatious and bantering, and they were passed behind him, but the person did not turn around, and continued to look at the moon shadow in the pool, motionless.
"Shameless thing!" The white light flashed, and the water also fell to the corner of the pool, standing across the pool from Xun Yu.
"Hmph. Xun Yu squeezed out the yin and yang strange qi from his throat and snorted coldly, but he didn't care about Shui Yi anymore, and still looked at the pool by himself.
As soon as the water was inexplicably on fire, the left hand was pinched into the air towards the pool water, and a column of water burst into the pool, shaking the entire pool water to boil, where there was still a little moonlight.
"Crazy lady, what are you doing?!Do you know that it is a full moon night today?!If you are negligent and go wrong, I'm afraid you won't be able to clean it up! Crazy woman!I, I, I, I'm when!" Xun Yu was very anxious, angry, and wanted to make a move on the water, but he quickly suppressed the fire, and the gilt dust in his hands danced wildly, and he drew several arrays on the water surface one after another, and the water surface was as peaceful as a mirror.
As soon as Shui looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and then looked at the moon shadow in the pool, he no longer made a fuss, but took the initiative to jump to Xun Yu's side, and said in a low voice: "Old Dao'er, that thing below has not been restless recently?"
"Hmph!" Xun Yu was still angry, his chest heaved and he gasped; "If there is any fart, let it go!
Shui clenched his fist, but he instantly let go, and squeezed out an ugly smile: "Old Dao'er, let me ask you, are you familiar with the Dao Tong selected in Jiazhou City?"
", the old man went to the selection in person, can there be a mistake?" Xun Yu became impatient.
Shui Yi smiled again, and continued to ask: "Then in the opinion of senior brother, how about Wen You'er's girl?"
As soon as these words came out, Xun Yu's emotions, which had already calmed down for most of his part, were provoked and annoyed again: "Hmph! What do you say?! In the Yunfeng Hall that day, how domineering were you in order to rob people? Huh?...... I said Shui Yi old woman, you can't really be so vicious and boring, right? You also robbed it, you have nothing to do on this big night today? Make a special trip to anger me again?"
"Poof. Seeing Xun Yu Lao'er like this, Shui Yi couldn't help laughing, "Ahem, senior brother, it's not that I robbed you, it's just that I noticed that Wen You'er that day, although the qualifications are excellent, but the heart is the most difficult to restrain and distracting thoughts, but I need a kind and motherly master like me to train and become a talent." ”
"I'm kind, motherly, you're afraid that everyone knows about your reputation as a shrew, right? Heh, I think you must have asked me for my old way today, otherwise you would treat me like this?
"Yes, yes, Senior Brother, everything can't be hidden from your old man, Shui Yi is indeed here to ask Senior Brother for advice, I want to see if Senior Brother has a high insight, can get rid of the distracting thoughts in Wen You'er's heart, and restrain his mind to concentrate on cultivation. The water side laughed for too long, and it stiffened a little.
A cold wind suddenly blew over the top of the mountain, and the light around him suddenly dimmed, Xun Yu looked up, and a dark cloud just blocked the moonlight, without hesitation, he rushed up and went straight to the dark cloud.
"Alas, alas, you haven't answered me yet!" Shui Yi shouted at the figure of Xun Yu.
"That girl can't get rid of you and me! Only her brother called Hanako can make her live in peace!" Xun Yu was anxious, but he knew that the water was a shrew, so he replied hastily, for fear that the water would splash and miss the big thing.
"Thank you, senior brother!" Shui Yi heard the sound in his ears, but it shocked Xun Yu's brain with a sharp pain.
Xun Yu instantly scolded the vicious shrew a thousand times in his heart, but his body did not pause at all, and went towards the dark cloud.
Shui Yi also seemed to be suspicious of what Xun Yu said, but he had a lot of clues to observe and judge, and he was in a very good mood, so he walked slowly along the mountain road and went down the mountain......
Time flies quickly, two months have passed in a blink of an eye, and the water fighting homework in the White Dragon Cave arranged by Master Shui Yi has also changed from the original one tank a day to five cylinders a day, and what remains unchanged is that the spring water in the tank is filled every day, almost all of which only have Xiao Yun's spiritual pressure. Although Wen You'er also went out early and returned to the ground with Xiao Yun every day to practice, he never paid attention at all, not so much to cultivate, but to wander around, catch gnats, play with mud, and in the first few days, he was able to play until it was dark and rushed to the White Dragon Cave to get two buckets of water and twist it back, but then he gradually lost his interest in playing, and often sat depressed in the Niuxin Pavilion all day, and the White Dragon Cave did not go at all.
The daily performance of the two girls, Shui Yi is clearly understood in his eyes, but the Emei faction follows nature in everything, the disciples practice, and the master only teaches the key to the method, as for the cultivation process, it is all up to him, and the master has always been unforcibly restrained.
After dinner on this day, Shui Yi's left and right hands were dipped in some cups of tea, and two water needles popped out towards the eyebrows of Wen Youer and Xiao Yun, and the water needles broke through the skin, and after a circle in the blood of the two, they shot out from the center of the eyebrows, turning into two drops of water and returning to Shui Yi's hands or so. Shui Yi twisted the two drops of water respectively, touched Xiao Yun's head and said with a smile: "Yun'er, from tomorrow onwards, you don't have to go to the White Dragon Cave to fetch water, just concentrate on cultivating your primary water control heart method as a teacher." ”
"Yes, master. Xiao Yun obediently agreed, and at the same time secretly glanced at Wen You'er, and then looked at Shui Yi quietly, as if waiting to listen to the master's arrangement for Wen You'er.
Shui Yi didn't speak again, but also touched Wen You'er's head, and went out of the room and went upstairs. At night, Shui Yi lay on the couch tossing and turning, repeatedly recalling Wen You'er's daily actions in the past two months, and couldn't help but think of what Xun Yu said, so he simply turned over and got up, and walked towards the sky under the mountain......
In Jiazhou City, although Yi Xiaotian is not used to being alone, he is much more relaxed when he has a younger sister to take care of, but whenever he is bullied, he misses the only relative in the world very much.
On this day, Yi Xiaotian was caught stealing food again, and the vicious vendor was ruthless, beating Yi Xiaotian's head and bleeding, rolling all over the ground, until he was tired of beating, and then he scolded and stopped his hand. Yi Xiaotian struggled to get up from the ground, covered his bleeding mouth and nose, and limped away, tears hanging from the corners of his eyes, Yi Xiaotian was worried about Wen You'er, and he didn't know how this girl was doing well in Emei Mountain? Thinking of this, Yi Xiaotian suddenly wanted to go to the bookstall where his sister used to read books in the past, and read the picture books that his sister loved to read, as if he could reduce his inner thoughts a little, and even began to fantasize about turning the corner, he could see the familiar back from a distance, sitting cutely on the straw mat.
Yi Xiaotian limped across the street corner step by step, and the familiar place was still lively, but the location of the bookstall, which was originally unattended, was crowded today, scrambling to buy fresh bamboo shoots.
Yi Xiaotian approached and asked unwillingly: "Uncle, isn't this stall a lazy man who buys books on weekdays, why ...... today?"
The old man who sold bamboo shoots raised his head and glanced at Yi Xiaotian, and replied impatiently: "Hey, that snoozing lazy ghost, he left Jiazhou two months ago and went back to his hometown in the south. ”
Yi Xiaotian let out an "oh", left the downtown and returned to the broken temple with a sullen sigh, his body was in pain, and he shrank in the grass and fell asleep. I don't know how long I slept, it was already dark outside the ruined temple, Yi Xiaotian opened his eyes in a daze, and was about to sit up, but he felt that there seemed to be a person standing in the darkness behind him.
"Who's there?!" Yi Xiaotian sat up in panic and looked behind him.
"Child, your name is Yi Xiaotian, right?" In the dark, the middle-aged woman's voice came from far and near, sounding like she was walking slowly.
Enduring the pain all over his body, Yi Xiaotian struggled to stand up and turn around, and at this time, the strange woman had lit the candle in her hand and walked to Yi Xiaotian. Although he didn't know who the white-clothed, black-veiled woman in front of him was, he could feel the powerful aura emanating from the other party's body, Yi Xiaotian held his breath nervously, staring at the other party, not daring to move at all.
The masked woman continued to ask, "Child, Wen You'er is your sister?"
Yi Xiaotian thought in his heart, this person in front of him should not have malicious intent, if he wanted to harm me, he would have already lost his life when he fell asleep just now, and when he heard the other party say his name, he asked about his sister, he must be someone he knows. Thinking in his heart, Yi Xiaotian relaxed a little, but his voice still trembled: "Yes...... Be...... My name is Yi Xiaotian, and my sister Wen ...... Wen You'er is Brother Emei...... Disciple, you ...... If it hurts...... Hurt me, E...... The Meipai must be looking for ...... Looking for you ...... Troublesome. ”
"Hehehehe, a little called Hanako, and I also know how to use my Emei as a shield, hehehehe. The masked woman laughed, and the aura around her body weakened instantly.
Yi Xiaotian suddenly felt a sense of oppression, and he was a lot more relaxed when he heard the words "I am Emei faction", so he quickly took a few breaths, rolled his eyes, and set up almost: "May I ask if my predecessor has seen my sister? Can you tell my sister to cultivate with peace of mind, and that everything is fine with my brother, don't worry about it." ”
"Sure enough, the brother and sister are in deep love. Yi Xiaotian ......" The masked woman was halfway through her words, and the candle flame in her hand suddenly flickered. "Where is sacred?!" the woman snorted, and the white shadow flashed, and she had reached the courtyard outside the wall, standing with her hands in her hands, exuding a domineering aura that enveloped the entire courtyard, and the candle in her hand was about to fall to the ground where she had stood before, igniting a small pile of hay. Yi Xiaotian was shocked, hurriedly stepped on the flames, quietly hid behind the broken wall, and peeked out.
At this moment, a black light fell from the sky, as fast as lightning, breaking through the roof and falling from the top of Yi Xiaotian's head, seeing that he was about to succeed, Yi Xiaotian hurriedly raised his head, and his eyes were white, and the masked woman in white actually stood above her head out of thin air, using her elbow as a shield, "Bang!" The black light bounced away, and then squatted and jumped, soared into the sky, and disappeared into the dark night sky.
One of them is the masked woman in white, and the other is tightly wrapped in a black night suit from head to toe, only leaking bloody red eyes. With the two of them as the center, the two invisible auras, one white and one black, rapidly expanded and spread in a spherical shape, colliding together in the middle of the connection between the two people, and in an instant, lightning shone brightly, and three waves of giant qi waves were swung out one after another, but no sound came out, and there was a dead silence around them...... After a moment, the electric light flowed backwards, the qi waves contracted, and re-converged to the center point, and that point, the incomparably void darkness, devoured time and space, and the electric light and qi waves all disappeared......
The two figures shook at the same time, falling from a high altitude, the woman in white hid her hands behind, her sword pointed quickly, secretly drew runes, fell into the air, one turned over and stood up, put her hands together, and recited the incantation: "The vast universe, the vastness, the brilliant galaxy, falling for nine days!
The woman in white held the spell in her hand, ready to attack, and looked up in the direction of the mysterious man in black. The man in black was also standing out of thin air at this time, with his hands behind his back, and a pair of blood-red eyes narrowed slightly, as if smiling. The woman in white was slightly surprised, but she didn't hesitate to spell in her hand, and with a flick of her middle finger, "Fall!" shouted, and countless light arrows shot out from the Flying Fire Meteor Array, heading straight for the man in black.
The man in black didn't dodge, still smiling at the corners of his eyes, letting hundreds of millions of light swords rush to his face, seeing that he was about to pierce his heart with ten thousand arrows, he shouted softly: "Fall!", the black runes above his head instantly lit up, and the shape and pattern were the same as the "Flying Fire Meteor Array" cast by the woman in white! In an instant, countless dark arrows shot out in a volley, and the light arrows and black arrows collided head-on, and the lightning splashed, and the flames were everywhere......
The woman in white was dumbfounded, furious, and shouted: "Great rebellion!" flew out and rushed towards the man in black, eager to fight hand-to-hand.
"Hahahaha, Master Shui Yi is really impatient and violent. When the man in black saw the water rushing to him, he laughed loudly, and the laughter reached his ears, and the person was gone......
The water suddenly felt bad, hurriedly dived, ran to the ground and broke the temple, and fell to the ground Yi Xiaotian, the child was safe and sound, and Ren looked up at the sky in the same place. As soon as Shui let out a long breath, he looked around and explored, but there was no sign of the man in black, presumably he had already gone. Yi Xiaotian looked at the woman in front of him and was about to speak, when he suddenly felt that his eyes were dark and he lost consciousness.
Late at night, in the Yunfeng Palace, Shui Yi was quite impatient: "Senior Brother in charge, are you a fool in your cultivation head? Or can't you trust me Shui Yi? I'll say it again at the end! I'm sure it's the Flying Fire Meteor Array!"
Li Tianxing kept wandering in the hall: "If what my senior sister said is true, this mysterious person's cultivation is not even inferior to me." But the most puzzling thing is that the Flying Fire Meteor Array is a unique sect of our sect, how can it be? Could it be that the man in black is a member of my sect? Who could it be?......
"What I can't figure out even more is whether the man in black is coming at me, or at Yi Xiaotian, and why did he suddenly retreat without a fight?" Master Shui Yi frowned.
"So you were even more determined to bring the kid back......? That's fine...... Senior sister, please remember that the matter of the man in black is only known to you and me for the time being, so you can go back first. Li Tianxing sent Shui Yi away, and also walked out of the Cloud Star Peak Hall and went to the golden top below.
