Chapter 15 The World
Taiqing Pond is located on the west side of Taishang Daode Palace, named Pool, in fact, it covers an area of 1,000 acres, it is mighty, there are pieces of red lotus and green lotus floating on the blue waves, and there are more cranes and birds lingering on the surface of the lake. There is a small pavilion in the middle of the lake, which is quaint and colorful. The top of the pavilion is like a gourd facing the sky, and the green tiles cover it, which is resplendent and brilliant, and is full of brilliance. The four corners of the cornice, the wings are like eagles spreading their wings, and they are ready to fly. On the Danzhu, there are more painted paintings, the color is gorgeous, lifelike. The whole pavilion is exquisite, but what is even more mysterious is that this pavilion is actually floating in the air, about a foot away from the water.
Taiqing Pond is so vast that it has become a scene of Taishang Daode Palace. The lake is paved with white sand and gravel, wearing flowers and trees, dividing water and stones, elegant and full of atmosphere.
At this time, dozens of young disciples were strolling along the lake, not so much admiring the southern scenery above this snowy peak, but rather watching the magnificent immortal traces that moved against the sky. The vast majority of this group of people are young men, all of them are immortal and graceful, and they are obviously not weak. When such a group of people walked together, the fairy energy of Baoguang stirred each other, attracting countless bees and butterflies, and they could not fly.
On the other side of Taiqing Pond, there are several high-rise buildings, with the sky at their back, facing the broad lake in front, which can be described as majestic and magnificent, and the momentum is extraordinary. High-rise buildings with red pillars and gray tiles, carved beams and painted buildings. In particular, the doors and windows in the building are hollowed out on both sides and carved with exotic flowers and plants, rare birds and monsters, and painted with vermilion lacquer. Seeing this building, I can't help but feel that the high-rise building is dazzling in the world.
Shang Qiushui and Ji Ruochen were standing on the top floor of one of the tall buildings, looking at the group of young people swimming in the lake from the railing. A small number of them were disciples of the Daode Sect, most of them were young people from various factions who came to watch the ceremony, and several middle-aged Taoist elders were the Zhike Dao Dao people who led the three of Yunzhongju to visit the Taishang Daode Palace. Shi Ji, Chu Han, Gu Qing and the other three were in the middle of the crowd, surrounded by a group of young people like stars holding the moon.
Looking at it from afar, Shi Ji smiled skillfully, and every gesture he made often caused the young monks around him to lose all their concentration and be at a loss. Chu Han Yushu is in the wind, and it copes with it decently, and there is a faint wind of a king, which is heartbreaking.
Gu Qing is still indifferent, it seems that even if the landslide is in front of her, she will be indifferent. Unlike Shi Ji and Chu Han, Gu Qing's body was quite empty, and although those young monks kept sneaking glances at her, no one stepped forward to talk to her.
"Hmph, these wild bees and butterflies, with such a kind of mental character, also want to cultivate the Great Dao?" Shang Qiushui commented viciously and sourly.
He looked at it from a distance like this, but he was not afraid of being discovered by the three of Yunzhongju. One is that, as he said, dozens of bees and butterflies are flying around, noisy and noisy, how many spare energy do the three people have to observe. The second is that by the edge of this Taiqing Pond, there are really many elders or disciples of various factions, all of whom want to see what the heirs of Yunzhongju sent to gamble with the Daode Sect look like.
Ji Ruochen was reluctantly dragged over by Shang Qiushui, but he just looked at the opposite side of Taiqing Pond at random, and his eyes couldn't be taken off anymore.
"Alas, the world is declining, and people's hearts are not ancient. After getting along with Ji Ruochen for a long time, Shang Qiushui seemed to show his true nature a little, and he became more and more charming. Even this pretended old-fashioned criticism has a hidden meaning of resonance.
He made cynical accusations for a long time, but Ji Ruochen was quiet and did not move at all. Shang Qiushui was slightly surprised, turned his head to look, and saw Ji Ruochen staring at Shi Ji, almost staring at him. Shang Qiushui's face changed slightly, but he immediately noticed that Ji Ruochen's face was pale and his expression was different, not as if he was fascinated by the goblin, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Ruochen, what's wrong with you?"
Ji Ruochen was suddenly shocked, let out a sigh of relief, his face was ruddy, and he said with palpitations: "What a fierce and ruthless thing!"
Shang Qiushui was very surprised, he obviously saw that Ji Ruochen was looking at Shi Ji, but he didn't expect to say such a sentence, so he asked: "Is Brother Ruochen talking about Shi Ji?" I have dealt with her, well, how to say it, although I instinctively dislike her, but in my heart, she is extremely rare in terms of appearance and qualifications, and she is also very comfortable. Why does Brother Ruochen have such a bad impression of her, and he still uses the word "thing?"
Ji Ruochen sighed, turned to look at Shang Qiushui, and said, "Since Brother Qiushui has fought with Shi Ji, how can he still have such an evaluation? I see that although Shi Ji is beautiful on the surface, his nature is extremely yin and ruthless, and he is definitely a rare murderous thing. Even if you look at her from afar, you can feel her fierceness! Strange, how can Yun Zhongju say that she is also a famous family of the righteous path, how could she put such a thing as Shiji under the door wall? Even if she is a human being, her nature does not meet the requirements of the righteous path, not to mention that although I can't see what her body is, but she is not of my race, this is certain!"
Shang Qiushui sighed, and looked at Ji Ruochen blankly, no longer silent.
Ji Ruochen was startled, and called Senior Brother Qiushui a few times before he could be called back. Shang Qiushui stared at Ji Ruochen left and right, and then glanced at Shi Ji a few times, before he let out a long sigh and said, "I have fought with that Shi Ji opposite, but I have not been able to see her abnormality. Brother Ruochen only glanced at it, and he had already seen through her true appearance, alas, born with a wise eye, born with a wise eye......"
No matter how thick-skinned Ji Ruochen was, he also felt that Shang Qiushui's emotion was too numb, so he coughed at the moment, quickly changed the topic, and said, "Chu Han I have already seen it, it is really heartbreaking." Listening to Senior Brother Qiushui, Gu Qing seems to be the highest Dao practitioner among the disciples in the clouds, but why didn't I see it?"
Shang Qiushui was surprised: "Although I haven't seen Gu Qing yet, it should be that one." It's strange that there's no one around her. ”
"Which one, why didn't I see it?" Ji Ruochen asked again.
Shang Qiushui was greatly surprised, he looked at Ji Ruochen's gaze, and while reaching out to the other side of Taiqing Pond, he corrected: "Brother Ruochen, it should be the woman in a plain shirt." Well, it's really indifferent and lonely, and his character is unparalleled...... Hey, Brother Ruochen, where are you looking? Farther away...... You're looking too far again, take it back,...... Why did she go to the east again? She's right in the middle, in the middle!"
In order to correct Ji Ruochen's gaze, Shang Qiushui's whole person almost had to lean on Ji Ruochen. Ji Ruochen's whole body stiffened, and he involuntarily bent towards the other side, just like a thin bamboo in the wind. But for some reason, his gaze was always skewed, and he refused to say anything to the center of the crowd.
Shang Qiushui had obviously never encountered such a strange thing, and he couldn't make Ji Ruochen see Gu Qing after several efforts, so his eyes lit up with anger, and he suddenly said softly: "Brother Ruochen......"
Ji Ruochen was taken aback, knowing that if he delayed any longer, it would definitely be bad, so he took a deep breath, forcibly used the trick to shock his heart, and finally saw Gu Qing, who was standing in the center of the crowd, but was like a lonely place between heaven and earth.
