21. Burn incense on a moonlit night

"Disciple, meet the master!" the man in front of him knelt in front of her

Hua Qiangu hurriedly raised her head, facing the face of the person who smiled at her, her face was dusty, and there seemed to be clouds and clouds beside her, and the whole person made people feel warm.

Hua Qiangu was stunned and looked up at Bai Zihua, Bai Zihua nodded and motioned for her to get up.

She stood up stiffly, her legs were still trembling, but the person in front of her was still unaffordable. She hurriedly flashed to the side, only to think that the person must be kneeling in the wrong direction, and she couldn't stand it.

"Maoshan disciple Yun Yin visited the master. Unexpectedly, the man turned to him again and bowed deeply.

Hua Qiangu's face suddenly stiffened, and he hurriedly reached out to help him. As soon as I got closer, I smelled a resolute and elegant fragrance.

"Yun Yin, don't scare her, if there is anything to do, let's talk about it after entering the hall. Bai Zi painted a quiet opening.

Yun Yin stood up with her support, and his clear eyes stayed on her happily, as if he had endless words to say. Immediately, knowing that it was rude, he lowered his head and respectfully made a gesture of invitation.

"Bone Mom!" At this time, Sugar Treasure hurriedly flew out of Luo Eleven's hand, stopped on her shoulder, and whined and hugged her, which really scared it to death.

Hua Qiangu smiled and poked at it, and quietly made a worried gesture with Qingshui underneath. Then he followed Bai Zihua and Yun Yin into the inner hall.

Immediately there was a lot of discussion. It seems that they are all greatly surprised that the mortal who seems to have no magic power and background is actually the head of a faction.

Ni Mantian's fist clenched loudly, it seems that she really underestimated her, and he will become a big trouble one day.

After entering the main hall, Hua Qiangu appeared, Shizun and Ruzun were all in the sugar treasure, and hurriedly hid it in her ears. Because there are outsiders in Shengxiao, Mo is finally sitting in a different position than last time, but his expression is still lazy. Mo Yan still seems to be haunted by what happened last time, and he didn't give her half a good look.

"The disciple has seen the World-Honored Confucian. Hua Qiangu knelt down and bowed respectfully.

But I heard Mo Yan snort coldly: "We can't afford to be the head of Maoshan Mountain." Every word in the words is sarcasm.

Hua Qiangu was stunned for a moment, and her face burned spicy.

Sheng Xiaomo said helplessly: "Senior brother Qiangu is also entrusted by others in danger. ”

Mo Yan flicked his sleeves and said: "As a long-term disciple, but he is the head of another faction, it is a big joke. We've really condescended to you as a noble man for a long time. You better go back to Maoshan as soon as possible to be your head!"

When Hua Qiangu heard this, his heart sank violently, and he hurriedly looked up at Bai Zihua, but saw that he put down the tea cup in his hand indifferently and did not speak. Yun Yin frowned, but he also said.

"When the disciple received the letter from the Queen Mother and Jade Bird, he immediately rushed back to Maoshan to take care of the aftermath, because he learned that the head of the family followed the Zun back to Changliu Mountain, so he was more relieved. Because there are too many things in the faction, I can't be busy, and I don't want the head to go back at this time to face too many troubles and troubles, not to mention that I heard that the head has entered the Changliu sect and has a heavy daily workload, so I haven't bothered. For half a year, I have been indirectly learning about the news of the head of the house from the honorable. Now the door has basically been reorganized, and it is only waiting for the head of the door to go back to preside over the overall situation and give orders. So this time I came to take over the head and return to the mountain. ”

Hua Qiangu looked at Yun Yin puzzled, he should have known that he was just a mortal, Qingxu Dao Chang was dying, he had no contact with him before, he must have understood that he couldn't help him, if he had been in charge of Maoshan and stayed in Maoshan, even if all the power was still in his hands, but in form, he still had to ask for instructions on everything, and there would definitely be a lot of inconvenience. And she has no ability, she can't protect herself at all, she needs the protection of a large number of disciples, if she is not good, Maoshan has already hit the head of the sect hard, and if something happens, it will definitely collapse, and her momentum will be greatly detrimental. And what he has to do if he leaves himself in the protective range of the long-term stay, his hands and feet can naturally be much more relaxed.

Now that the Maoshan faction has finished repairing, he will pass on the letter seal and Gong Yu of the head of the sect to him in a while, there is no need to go back with him to cause more trouble, and the time is getting more and more urgent, with her tattered level, I am afraid that she will not even be able to climb the platform of the Fairy Sword Conference. All she thinks about is the apprentice who does Baizi painting, where can she take care of the head of Maoshan .

"I don't know anything, I don't know how to do it, you came just in time, I can pass on the position of head to you, which is exactly what the Taoist chief entrusted on his deathbed. ”

Yun Yin shook his head: "The disciple understands the meaning of the family teacher, and he also knows that the head of the family is in trouble now. It's just that the Maoshan faction is now suffering from internal and external troubles, if the disciples take over the position of head of the sect at this juncture, and deal with things, their identities will remain the same, and some people who regard the disciples as thorns in their eyes will even take the opportunity to make trouble, so they can only ask the thousand bone girl to serve as the head of the family, and the girl is personally entrusted by the family teacher, and she has a great favor to the Maoshan faction, and she can still serve the public. When the time comes, if the girl still doesn't want to continue to be the head, shall we make another plan?"

Hua Qiangu knew in his heart that he was too young after all, and he was just a mortal, and his ability was insufficient. Yun Yin's meaning is to be a puppet behind the scenes, and he manipulates everything in front of the scenes, so as to solve the danger of Maoshan Mountain. I can't help but admire him a little.

Since he said it so reasonably, how could he not help. So he could only nod and add at the end: "But I have always been just a long-term disciple." ”

"I understand it below. Yun Yin bowed and said: "It's just that in a few days, it will be the Maoshan Ceremony, all the Yunyou disciples will return to the mountain, and the head of the sect has to attend, otherwise it will be a big blow to morale, so the disciples are mainly here for this, and it only takes a few days of hard work, and then the disciples will definitely personally send the head back to Changliu Mountain." ”

Hua Qiangu looked up at Bai Zihua, and Bai Zihua nodded slightly in acquiescence.

"Well, I'll go back to Maoshan with you. ”

Haoyue was in the sky, and in the forest, Hua Qiangu lit incense, burned paper, worshiped twice, and then sat under the tree and watched the flames. Changliu Mountain is not only rich in jade, but also rich in spices, and I don't know what kind of flavor is mixed in this incense, which is different from others, with a strong sense of sorrow and sorrow. In the smoke, it makes people intoxicated.

She sneaked out alone in the middle of the night, but it was because it was her birthday and her mother's death day.

Obviously, ordinary people are happy, but she is the saddest time every year.

always brings misfortune to the people around her, so she is destined to be alone forever. Lonely so lonely so lonely.

Tomorrow, I will go back to Maoshan with Yun Yin, say goodbye to the world for half a year, and then go back, I don't know if there will be a feeling of vicissitudes.

"What is a man doing here?"

The sudden sound frightened her little life, and before she could look up, she immediately knelt down.

"Bye bye to Your Excellency. ”

lowered his head and saw his extremely white shirt dragging on the ground, staining a few yellow leaves, and suddenly wanted to reach out and brush it away.

"I went to the hall to look for you, but you were not looking for the taste, but when you got to the neighborhood, you were lost in the incense, and you came to look for the incense, and you are here. Why do you burn paper? Whose death day is today?"

"My mother's. Hua Qiangu said gloomily.

"It's like this, mourning-" Bai Zihua never said much, and he didn't know how to comfort people, seeing Hua Qian's thin body kneeling on the ground, trembling in the autumn wind.

How could this child be so afraid of him by birth?

"You get up and speak. ”

Hua Qiangu stood up, but still didn't dare to look up at his face.

"Is Your Excellency looking for me to return to Maoshan tomorrow?"

Bai Zihua nodded: "If you go back tomorrow, there will definitely be many hardships and obstacles all the way, so you must be mentally prepared." ”

"Why? Isn't it just going to a ceremony?" and not going back to war.

"On the one hand, Yun Fei and the undefeated people in the Spring and Autumn Period will definitely try their best to harm you, so that Maoshan, which has already lost a lot of strength, will be even more depressed, so as to break through the immortal world. On the one hand, there are not a few people who want to compete for the position of head of Maoshan, and naturally they will not let you go back easily. Yun Yin will naturally do his best to protect you, but it is inevitable that there will be times when I am lacking in skills, I don't feel at ease, I want to go with you, but there are too many things involved, and my identity is inconvenient to show up. So you have to deal with it positively by yourself, don't lose the face of the Changliu and Maoshan factions. ”

"The disciple knows. ”

Bai Zihua paused and said, "You still don't know how to resist the sword?"

Hua Qiangu nodded with anxiety and guilt in her heart. The Heart Dao Venerable must be very disappointed in himself. I couldn't help but feel annoyed and uncomfortable.

Bai Zihua suddenly waved his fingertips, and a silver rainbow swept through the sky like lightning from his waist, hovering in the air for a few weeks, and then stopped in mid-air, the sword body was as thin as a cicada's wings, as clear as a glass jade, and the five-colored streamer flowed gorgeously on the sword body, with a long sword sound.

"I'll teach you. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Hua Qiangu.

Hua Qiangu looked up in shock and saw his upside-down appearance, and for a moment, he only felt that the clear light of the moonlight behind him instantly dimmed. The whole person was stupid, leaving everything behind, just reaching out for him to hold it, cold as water, the whole person seemed to be submerged, she had no breath, no way out. I suddenly had a premonition that I would never be able to escape in this life.

Bai Zihua looked at the little her: "Don't forget the mantra and the mental method, but the most important thing is to be integrated with the sword, feel that he is a part of your body, you can fly wherever you want, and naturally it will not fall." ”

As he spoke, he was like a fairy flying out of the sky, carrying Hua Qiangu to take off slowly and lightly, standing on the sword, the sword was no more than three feet long, but because Hua Qiangu was too small, it was not too crowded.

Hua Qiangu was crumbling, and felt that Bai Zihua was behind him, supporting him, and his heart was a lot more stable.

"Adjust your breathing, don't be afraid, now the sword is in your hands. ”

As he spoke, the sword shook up and down in the air twice, and then began to slide downward in a zigzag pattern.

Ah, Hua Qiangu screamed in her heart, saw a big tree in front of her, and saw that she was about to crash into it, and hurriedly closed her eyes, and suddenly remembered that Zunshang was behind her, and hurriedly concentrated her strength, pulled the sword aside, and the leaves passed by, and she was sweating profusely.

"Very good, now let the sword be a little more stable and pull it up slowly. ”

Hua Qiangu only felt that the sword was in the air without any rules, and the curve was turning wildly, up and down, only one or two meters above the ground, which was too thrilling. But it's already very good to be able to do this, firstly, because this sword is very good, and secondly, there is a venerable behind him, as if he has taken a reassuring pill.

It is really dangerous enough to go around among the big trees, and Hua Qiangu stared at the moon intently, screaming upwards and upwards in his heart. Finally, a back-rushing leap out of the forest sword carried the two of them into the watery moonlight.

The oncoming breeze blew the flower thousand bones as if they were about to float, and the sword gradually began to fly steadily.

Hua Qiangu took a deep breath, the smell of incense in the air mixed with the fragrance of flowers and vanilla is very comforting, it turns out that this is the feeling of flying, and her wings are not swords, but zuns.

Hua Qiangu slowly mastered the trick, and after a few more turns in mid-air, she now realized that she could finally fly so high and high, even overlooking the entire Changliu Mountain and the Three Palaces.

At the end, it slowly descended. The sword automatically flew back to the waist of the white painting and put it in the sheath.

"Fly well. Bai Zihua nodded approvingly, and the flowers were sweeter than eating honey. Thinking of something, he suddenly asked:

"Is the demonic aura on me still very strong? You can smell it everywhere, and you can still find me?"

"That's not demonic energy, it's just a strange fragrance that is easy to provoke demons, and now you have a hook jade on your body, and many demons and ordinary people can't smell it, but I can still smell it." ”

As he spoke, he took down the sword and handed it to her: "I see that you have a lot of fate with this sword, so I will give it to you." ”

Hua Qiangu was shocked: "How can this be thanks to the Venerable for lifting up the love Qiangu and not daring to accept it." ”

"Don't worry, this is not a horizontal frost sword, it's just my daily sword, called 'Broken Thoughts', light and delicate, but also suitable for girls' families. Aren't you still a weapon? Although Broken Mind is not a peerless sword, it is definitely the best in the sword, and it is very spiritual, and it can protect you in times of danger. Besides, isn't it your birthday? If you want to be a good student, don't let down this good sword. ”

"Disciple Xie Zun understands......"

Hua Qiangu took the sword with trembling hands and knelt down, her voice trembled a little, and this was the first time someone gave her a gift on her birthday. Because of my mother's sake, my father always avoided talking about it, let alone celebrating.

The warmth in my heart was overwhelming, sour and moved, and my chest was stirred, but I couldn't say a word more.

But how could His Majesty know that today was her birthday? She looked up at him, Bai Zi saw her childish face swaying gently like a dandelion in the night breeze, as if she was about to drift away if she was not careful, as if she understood what she wanted to ask, and said: "Just look at your face, pinch your fingers, and calculate." After a pause, he said: "Maoshan swordsmanship is famous all over the world, you can resist the sword now, if you encounter problems in the future, it's good to have a response, you can't rely on Yun Yin to support you, okay, it's late at night, you can rest early, and you have to get up early tomorrow and hurry back." ”

Hua Qiangu was moved, and I didn't know what to say, it turned out that the Venerable came to teach himself, not to mention the sword, and gave the sword to himself, and there was still this meaning. He must be worried that he has returned to Maoshan with the dignity of the head of the family, if he still has to rely on the Yunyin Imperial Sword or Tengyun, he will definitely lose his command and will not be able to convince the public. And if you encounter difficulties with people, at least there is a saying that you can't take care of the demons if you encounter them, and there is also a means of escape. He was so subtle that he thought about her, so how could she not be ruined?

Looking at Bai Zihua's back, drifting away like a cloud, the wind was born, and the sword in his arms actually felt like crying.
