Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Carved River
String music is playing.
Mu Chenshi,
Blossoming flowers,
Laughing idiots say lonely..."
When Lin Zhongyu once again wrote down these familiar words with a pen. When it hangs in the middle of the study. It has been half a year since he came to the outer courtyard of the Guanghan Palace in the extreme north.
Half a shrugged day ago, he and Leng Xiangling descended from the sky on a white jade statuette, which once alarmed the two courtyards inside and outside the Guanghan Palace. And the white jade statue fell on the moon square in the outer courtyard, and one hand held up the empty mulberry mirror in his hand, and pointed to the moon wheel in the air with one hand, and then remained motionless.
The two courtyards inside and outside the Guanghan Palace, thousands of people, came to visit.
Lin Zhongyu and Leng Xiangling were thought by everyone to be visitors from outside the sky, and the white jade statue woman actually flew away for no reason on a full moon night for tens of thousands of years.
The inner and outer courtyards of Guanghan Palace, especially the outer courtyard, have many disciples, both men and women, and they all only say that this is some ethereal legend. Unexpectedly, there was a white jade statue of a woman in front of her, exquisite and exquisite, as if she was a real life, and she flew back.
The two people who came with the white jade statue girl. Naturally, it attracted the attention of people in the palace.
After going through some twists and turns, I inadvertently discovered that Lin Zhongyu was talented and good at Danqing. Lin Zhongyu was invited to serve as a calligraphy and painting teacher in the outer courtyard of Guanghan Palace. And Leng Xiangling is lively and active, where has he seen such a fairyland in Guanghan Palace at his mountain gate at a young age, and he actually worshiped in the outer courtyard of Guanghan Palace. Of course, she didn't say anything about her teacher.
The Guanghan Palace in the extreme north is one of the famous families of the Righteous Path of the Moon Wilderness, and very few people know that it is only the outer courtyard of the Guanghan Palace.
Guanghan Palace has two courtyards outside the inner and outer courts. There are many disciples in the outer court, and the number of female disciples is more than ten times more than the number of male disciples. The outer court is divided into three sects: the Heavenly Dance Sect and the Feiyun Sect. Aoba sect.
Among them, the Fu Dance Sect and the Feiyun Sect have a total of nearly ninety percent of the total number of people in the entire outer court, all of whom are women. And the Aoba sect is a maverick who is all men, and the number is scarce and very precious.
There are thousands of disciples in the outer courtyard of the Guanghan Palace, while there are only a hundred disciples in the Qingye Sect. It can be described as a little green among the real ten thousand flowers!
But even the outer courtyard is famous on the Moon Desolation Continent. Not to mention the inner courtyard. Since Lin Zhongyu came to Guanghan Palace, he had only heard of the inner courtyard, but he had never seen it, let alone knew where the inner courtyard was.
I heard that the inner courtyard only accepts women, so no matter how good the disciples of the Aoba Sect are, they can only stop at the outer courtyard of the Aoba Sect in the end. This is also the reason why there are few male disciples in Guanghan Palace. Male disciples can't enter the inner courtyard, so they will never be able to rule the Guanghan Palace. It can be said that the development potential is limited.
Compared with the female disciples of the Heavenly Dance Sect and the Flying Heaven Sect, they are blessed with unique talents. Amazing, he will definitely be valued by the elders of the inner courtyard, and he will enter the inner courtyard just around the corner.
Leng Xiangling was originally going to join the Aoba Sect, but the Aoba Sect did not accept female disciples, so she had to enter the Heavenly Dance Sect.
Lin Zhongyu's teaching of calligraphy and painting in the outer courtyard was the result of the joint discussion of the three sects. In order to avoid the inconvenience of a man entering and leaving the Heavenly Dance Sect and the Flying Heaven Sect, his calligraphy and painting class was set up in the Big Feilai Pavilion in the corner of Benyue Square.
The reason why it is called big is because this pavilion can accommodate thousands of people, even if the disciples of the outer courtyard are all there, it is not too crowded.
It is called "Feilai Pavilion" because this Feilai Pavilion is a corner of the iceberg sticking out of the mountain, like a lonely bird flying from the sky, hanging in mid-air, and Qitiansu Mountain, there is the same magic.
When I first came to Guanghan Palace, Lin Zhongyu saw the ice tower here. Igloos, ice beds, ice tables, in short, everything can be iced, and everything is ice. He sighed in his heart: "I can't imagine the wonder of the Moon Desolation World, or even Yusi." ”
The most peculiar thing is the ice bowl that is usually used for eating, the soup and rice in it are steaming, and you can feel the slight heat through the guò ice bowl, but the ice bowl in your hand just doesn't melt. It's weird.
He later learned that pine gum had been added to the ice bowl. The color is transparent and similar to ice, and it can not only condense ice cubes, but also play a role in bonding.
"Brother Linlin!" said a figure running in. It was a girl about sixteen years old, wearing a white gauze on her body, looking indescribably fresh and moving. It is Leng Xiangling, who has been in Guanghan Palace for half a year.
Leng Xiangling is also sixteen years old. At this moment, he is wearing a light veil of the Moon Palace unique to the Guanghan Palace, and he also looks good.
Seeing that Lin Zhongyu didn't seem to hear his own words. Still looking at the writing on the wall with his hands behind his back.
"Sigh wordlessly,
The strings are shadowing.
Mu Chenshi,
Blossoming flowers,
Laughing idiots say lonely guests"
I don't know why, Leng Xiangling felt a pain in her heart. "Lin, Brother Lin?"
Lin Zhongyu heard it and turned around. I saw that his head was full of white hair like snow, upwards, and backwards.
On closer inspection, there were some fine wrinkles on his face, and it was absolutely impossible to guess that he was also nineteen years old last month.
"Brother Lin, do you want to go back again?"
Lin Zhongyu was stunned when he heard this, and saw that Leng Xiangling seemed to have something on his face that he couldn't say when he asked himself, but he couldn't say anything, so he shook his head and said, "No, no." Actually, it's good here! I'm a useless person in the sect, and I never imagined that I would be treated so well here. Much better than going back!"
When Leng Xiangling heard Lin Zhongyu say this, her heart became even more uncomfortable, and she hurriedly said: "Brother Lin, don't be presumptuous, how can you be a wasted person?
Lin Zhongyu was stunned and said, "Hero, Ling'er, don't laugh at me!"
Leng Xiangling saw that he didn't believe it and stomped his feet. "Really, how could people lie to you!" that day you went crazy and cut off the arm of the big skeleton with one move. Don't you really remember?" Leng Xiangling mentioned this matter to Lin Zhongyu many times. But Lin Zhongyu no matter what... Xiao Pan believes it, because his impression of doing public things is also in his heart, and it is better to be fake.
Because he was ignorant and unconscious at the time, he only had a hateful killing intent, and the higher his cultivation, the more people he might hurt in the future.
Seeing that Leng Xiang's little face was flushed, he couldn't help but didn't want to argue about it, and smiled: "Okay, don't talk about this." Isn't it time for class?" Leng Xiangling blushed slightly and said, "No! Not yet! It's my sisters, I want you to go a little earlier." They want to hear you play the last tune again!!"
Although Lin Zhongyu is a calligraphy and painting teacher. Occasionally, Lin Zhongyu saw a guqin in the corner and couldn't help but play a song. In this bitter cold land in the far north, how many people can play the piano and tune it? Unexpectedly, his unintentional actions were discovered by a Taoist teacher with a heart. Therefore, Lin Zhongyu will have an additional subject of music and rhythm in the future class.
When Lin Zhongyu saw Leng Xiangling's appearance, she must have praised Haikou in front of her sisters and sisters, and automatically asked for help. Come to yourself in the past. But it doesn't hurt to think about it.
Moreover, Lin Zhongyu has been depressed for ten years, and finally one day he can be a teacher. That sense of accomplishment turned out to be quite nostalgic for him.
So he put the piano behind him and went straight to the Feilai Pavilion with Leng Xiangling.
The ice tower where he lives is called the Floating Tower. It is the place where a respected elder of the Aoba Sect lives. This old man is also proficient in calligraphy, painting, piano and chess, after his immortal gone. All of you are teaching because you are only good at art and not good at literature. And I am afraid that it will tarnish the quiet and elegant wind of the floating building.
And the jade in the forest fell from the sky with the white jade statue of a woman tens of thousands of years ago, although she was young and her white hair was as pale as snow, she had a chic style. It was the congregation that recommended him to live here.
Lin Zhongyu couldn't shirk it, so he came to live together. The floating building environment is quiet, and the flying pavilion class, on the verge of the tip of the iceberg. At night, the cold wind blows. The light veil fluttered in the floating building, and the starlight flickered above, and every time Lin Zhongyu sat in the study and looked at the boundless darkness in front of him, his heart would be inexplicably quiet.
Then he began to sit and forget the cultivation of the Heavenly Dao. His current realm seems to be back to the previous stage. After mastering the Heavenly Realm, his Taoism was close to stagnation. It seems that the effect of daily practice is not very great, but Lin Zhongyu has never thought of giving up.
Who knows if the Heavenly Dao Law will recur?
Heaven rewards hard work, he deeply believes in this truth, and he also believes that he will one day be able to expel the Heavenly Dao Law from his body.
He said to himself countless times in the dark night.
He cultivated the way of sitting and forgetting the heavens, and wanted to prove himself from the past. Now it's become a habit. An instinct to suppress the Heavenly Dao Dharma. He didn't think about how far his Heavenly Dao would progress, nor did he think about how he would rule the world in the future. He just wants to live each day well. Because he cherishes this hard-won tranquility.
Now, he seems to be used to life in Guanghan Palace, he has had enough of being ridiculed and ridiculed, and he doesn't want to participate in any more competitions and fight with others!
There is no need for that, even if he wins, what is it? He began to get used to teaching and educating people as his destiny, and every time he saw those students, he learned a word or a song. There was always a genuine joy in his heart.
For the miss of the teacher, I have to go back from the past. Until now, silently blessed in distant places. Yes, blessings, blessings forever and ever. As for the senior sister, he finally let go of his arms after the age of nineteen, the kind of extravagant hope that a teenager began. It turned out to be such a distant and unrealistic dream. It's sad, but it's not questionable.
On the very day he understood these truths. He drank for the first time in the Guanghan Palace, and the wine in the Far North was also bitter and bitter.
Missing is a strange thing, the more you think about it, the more sad you become, and if you don't want it, you have nothing!
Only time can dilute a qiē, maybe Lin Zhongyu's heart has been tired for too long, and he is desperate to find one. The harbor stopped. He also needs to stop at a location.
Maybe his life should be so mediocre and plain, but who can say that this is not happiness?
But I saw the flat and vast moonlight field in front of me. Green ice is like water like a mirror, walking above, you can clearly see your own shadow. But I saw that the statue of the white jade woman in the center of the square was 100 feet high, and she was still holding her own empty mulberry mirror in her hand, and pointed to the sky with one hand. Lin Zhongyu secretly came to take the mirror several times secretly, but with his cultivation, he couldn't take it away no matter what.
Besides, he didn't dare to push too hard, and the woman came back to life, and he didn't know if he would go crazy and bring himself to a more strange place.
But I saw a corner of Benyue Square flying into the pavilion. It has long been dark and full of students.
Leng Xiangling jumped up and ran in first. Immediately caused a burst of joy among several of the female students.
It was nearly dusk.
Lin Zhongyu carried the piano bag, his white hair was as pale as snow, and the sun wheel at dusk seemed to be above his head, and his face was also because of the backlight. And there was darkness. Such a lonely figure, with a slight desolation in the gloom, but it has a unique charm!
"Senior Sister Ling'er!
"Wow, Mr. Lin is so handsome."
Listen to the screams of these girls. I only heard a boy in the front row, and said in a loud voice:
"I don't see you every day, and the red flies over the floating building!"
The female disciples immediately blushed. It turned out that there were very few male disciples in the Guanghan Palace, and they were all in the Qingye Sect, but because the Qingye Sect had a few development potentials, any man with some qualifications would not come to the Qingye Sect of the Guanghan Palace to practice. The so-called caused the Aoba sect, "few people and bad quality" situation.
But in the case of such an imbalance in the ratio of men and women, as long as it is a man, it has become a rare thing in the Guanghan Palace. If there is a little "posture", it can be said that there will be many suitors, and the kind of scenery that is sought after by people is naturally indispensable for thousands of beauties.
The appearance of the corpse jade is not handsome, and it is slightly delicate and ordinary, but with the white hair and black Zhu Yuyan, it suddenly set off a "Lin Yu" wind among the women of Guanghan Palace. More importantly, Lin Zhongyu is erudite and taciturn. It doesn't reveal a kind of bitter melancholy, but it doesn't show it at all.
The female disciple in the outer courtyard of the Guanghan Palace is the age when love is beginning to bloom and full of illusions. In their eyes, this gray-haired, slightly melancholy man became their deadly poison. Moreover, because he is a teacher, and most of his admirers are students.
This kind of gap between the ethics of teachers and students has added to the challenge of the female disciples of Guanghan Palace to their fate. A bold rebellion against secular etiquette. Many female disciples secretly swore to the heavens in the middle of the night: The women of the Moon Desolation have been enslaved for thousands of years, and the fate of oppression will be changed because of me.
Driven by this trend of thought, there is one. A woman with a bold style, on a windy night. I wore a few light yarns, and I wanted to run to the floating building. Ask Mr. Lin about the "double study".
Fortunately, on the day of his nineteenth birthday, Lin Zhongyu was already drunk and did not forget to lock the door. Otherwise, the consequences will be worrying. But it was a coincidence that the wind was too strong that day, so please blow the red veil around the woman's neck upstairs.
The next day, Lin Zhongyu woke up and saw an object hanging on the window, how did she look like a schoolgirl.
So the next day, as soon as I started class, I returned it to the girl in public. This is a terrible situation.
The stakes are high. caused an uproar.
When the girls saw Mr. Lin, they didn't say anything to themselves, but they only smiled at the girl, which made them unbearable. Among them, the cold fragrance is the most fierce. actually took advantage of the time when no one was there to pull Lin Zhongyu's pants, and cried: "Did you do something sorry for me??"
Lin Zhongyu listened to the big head and said, "I'm drunk." I'm sorry for you?"
Leng Xiangling cried at him even more. In the end, it wasn't until Lin Zhongyu said that he had locked the door a long time ago. One person is upstairs and refuses to stop.
After this incident, other girls saw this and followed suit. Often take advantage of the "night when no one is around". Run to the floating building. Take off your own shoes and socks. Dirty pants, belly pockets, etc. Throw it on the floating floor. All in all, throw everything you can. It is a woman who is deserted in the time and moon, and her underwear is mostly red.
It is said that there is no one in the dark at night, but in fact, among the female disciples in the outer courtyard at that time, the "night throwing into the wind" was often just thrown by the former person, and the latter person touched it.
Sometimes they can meet each other, and then the two of them will smile heartily and don't explain. Eventually, it has developed into a must-do before going to bed.
Familiar, those who "throw it at night". You can often say hello too.
"Hey, you're going too?"
"Well, no, just came back!"
"What about you?"
"I'll go too!"
"So, go with you?"
"Let's go!"
"Let's go!"
"Senior sister, did you "throw" it today?"
"It's really good!"
This matter was later inspected by the elders of the Guanghan Palace, and it was only when it was concluded that it was resolved. A group of crazy female disciples were only captured by the prestige of the elders. No more nonsense. In this sport, Lin Zhongyu. Uninformed.
Because every time he woke up the next day, he didn't see anything, and those things that were thrown away at night were put away by the cold incense spirit hidden in the dark. She has to scold every piece of clothing she receives,
"Shameless!"
"Ah, disgusting!"
"Ah, stinky woman, she even took this out. I haven't even yet."
It was Lin Zhongyu who always felt that someone was scolding him when he went to bed at night in those days. And Leng Xiangling's eyes were also painted with dark circles for a while.
The matter subsided though. But this one event had two major impacts, and it will go down in history:
First, the mysterious organization of the "Yulin Army" was established. I heard that the founder is Lin Zhongyu and the woman who sent her yarn.
The second is, "I don't see you every day." Flying over the floating building" became the sour spoken words of the male disciples of the Aoba Sect. Before Lin Zhongyu came, they were all fragrant and sweet.
Seeing that Mr. Lin Zhongyu was about to come to the Feilai Pavilion. Suddenly, all the female disciples let out a cold snort, and the male disciple immediately sat on the seat like a soft-footed shrimp under the coercion of everyone.
Lin Zhongyu came to the nose of the lecture case, put the guqin on it, adjusted a few loose buttons, and looked at the countless disciples below with shining eyes.
His breath sank, and he said, "Today, since everyone asked me to play the last song again, let's start earlier! After a while, when it gets dark, you have to meditate and practice. So let's hurry up! Everyone should listen attentively. If you understand it, you'll be done!"
Saying that, Lin Zhongyu did it in front of the piano, put his two hands lightly on the piano, breathed slightly, and then slightly bent his fingers to hook the first string, and the song began from there.
In that song, people seem to have come to a hazy fairyland, the mist is shrouded, the mist is constant, and there is a fairy in the depths of the fairyland who is quietly gazing at you.
She couldn't help but dance when she found you snooping on her, she was so beautiful. So lonely, yet so sad!
At the end of the song, Lin Zhongyu accompanied the strings in his hand and sang softly:
"Last night the west wind,
Yushu carved Bihe,
Sighing silently, the strings are whispering.
Mu Chenshi,
Blossoming flowers,
The laughing idiot said Lonely
Listening to his singing, whether desolate, lonely, or lonely, all the students, men and women, were deeply intoxicated.
A slanting sun shone slightly on Lin Zhongyu's face. From then on, no one present could forget his clear outline.
