Chapter 15 The Human World (5)
Syllable!
A chess piece carved from mutton fat and white jade fell heavily on the chessboard made of thousand-year-old pine, and the two dead wood branch-like fingers holding the chess piece seemed to be reluctant to give up the warmth of the chess piece, and stroked it a few times, and then reluctantly retracted it.
The old man of Tianhai was full of red light, smiled very happily, and said: "As soon as this son falls, he will be alive." Ziyang Zhenren, I'm afraid you're going to lose this game again!"
Ziyang Zhenren's face was solemn, with a black spot in his hand, he pondered for a long time, and then he was a little in the air of white chess, and then smiled: "Brother Tianhai Dao's chess skills are excellent, admire, admire!"
Although Ziyang Zhenren is old, his hands are like jade, warm inside and moist outside, which is not the work of maintenance, but the effect of Taoism against the sky.
As soon as Ziyang Zhenren's son fell, the old man of Tianhai immediately jumped with his eyebrows, stared at the chessboard and pondered for a moment, before he smiled and said, "Although you are extremely fierce and dangerous, the sword is not the king's way." If you want to turn the game around, I think it's hopeless. Yiqi is like a cultivator, a little different, but it is the difference between the heavens and the abyss! Hehe, Brother Ziyang Dao, although your chess strength is almost the same as mine, but after a few days, you have lost nine battles and nine defeats, which can be seen from this!"
Ziyang Zhenren was not ashamed of the nine defeats at all, but just stroked his beard and smiled, and said: "What Brother Tianhai Dao said is very true, there are many similarities between cultivation and chess power. The secret method of dwelling in the clouds is unpredictable, and the truth of the poor world is also what I have always longed for. ”
The old man of Tianhai smiled from ear to ear, and a white son in his hand refused to fall, and said: "Brother Ziyang Dao is too humble, the three pure secrets of your sect were left by Guangchengzi when he ascended to the immortal, and it will not be worse than the Xuanhuang Lu of my faction." It's just that...... Your sect guides some young disciples who don't have the Fa, and there are so many disciples that they don't make a big deal, so what's the use?"
As soon as he said this, the faces of real people such as Yuxu and Taiwei, who were watching the chess on the sidelines, became a little ugly. In fact, in the past few days of the big exam, the young disciples of the two sects of the Daode Sect and Yunzhongju have competed with each other, which has long been a well-known secret. The disciples of the Daode Sect, including Ji Bingxian, were all defeated, how could these real people not know? In the past few days, although the real people have been playing chess here day and night without leaving the old man of Tianhai, how can this Taishang Daode Palace be big, how can what happened escape their spiritual sense?
In fact, the vision of the real people is extremely powerful, and there is no need to really talk about the Dao competition, only seeing the three disciples of Yunzhongju, and knowing that no one in the sect can pass Gu Qing's level.
But this time, several real people couldn't bear it, and the old man of Tianhai looked around with a smile, and then he snapped and fell white, sealing the retreat of Ziyang Zhenren cleanly.
Ziyang Zhenren stroked his beard and smiled, picked up a chess piece, and groaned for a long time, but he couldn't fall for a long time. He raised his head and smiled at the old man Tianhai: "There are many outstanding disciples in Yunzhongju, and Brother Tianhai Dao must have spent a lot of thought. Especially Gu Qing is so young, but his qi can already be integrated with heaven and earth, it seems that the flying immortals are hopeful. Such a person, overwhelming the young disciples of my Daode Sect, was originally a matter of rebellion. It seems that the clouds are in the middle of the boom, and that is just around the corner!"
Smack, Ziyang real sunspot fell.
The old man of Tianhai didn't look at where Ziyang Zhenren was at all, and he couldn't help laughing: "That's, that's!
He laughed happily, but his brain was not confused, and after the son fell, he tightened Ziyang Zhenren's anger a little, and he didn't give him a chance.
The old man of Tianhai didn't notice that the faces of the rest of the real people watching the battle were a little strange, as if they were holding back a smile.
Ziyang Zhenren picked up another chess piece, not in a hurry to fall, first smiled slightly, and said slowly: "I don't know how old Gu Qing is this year?"
"It's just twenty!" said the old man Tianhai was triumphant.
Ziyang Zhenren nodded, and said with a smile: "So very good! The age is compatible, the character is good, and the relationship is very happy, your sect is also considered to be a good match, it is rare for Brother Tianhai Dao to come with his apprentices, but it has achieved a good thing! Brother Tianhai Dao is highly respected, and the poor Dao is also a few years older, and he can also be a master for the younger generations." In my opinion, let's take advantage of this auspicious day to finalize the marriage between the apprentice and Gu Qing as soon as possible, which is also a grand event for me. ”
The old man of Tianhai was taken aback, stared at Ziyang Zhenren for a long time, and said angrily: "What is Brother Ziyang Dao talking about?! What is Qing'er's marriage? Qing'er has never gone down the mountain for fifteen years, what does it have to do with your apprentice? Such a bad idea, you can't even think about it!"
Ziyang Zhenren didn't care at all, and casually dropped the chess pieces in his hand, and said: "Although Gu Qing hasn't taken a step out of the clouds for fifteen years, he obviously has some long-cherished relationship with the apprentice. When Taiqingchi met the disciple that day, she came to me and wanted to refer to my moral scriptures. Poor Dao thinks that although the two factions of you and me have had a deep view of the portal for thousands of years, Qing'er and the apprentice are both geniuses, and in this chaotic world, these portal views may as well be put aside. As a result, Poor Dao allowed her to access any collection in the Daode Sect at will. ”
The old man of Tianhai screamed, and immediately jumped up, pointing at Ziyang Zhenren, his face was flushed, and he was speechless for a while. Shicai Ziyang Zhenren has already opened his mouth to propose marriage, and with his identity as the head of the Daode Sect portal, it can be said that every word he says is like being engraved in stone, and there is no joke. In today's world, the techniques in each party's door are all secret, and there is no one like Dao Daozong who is allowed to watch such a big test. Therefore, Gu Qing's request to read the moral sect scriptures as a disciple of Yunzhongju was an extremely polite request, but Ziyang Zhenren actually allowed it!
This dowry is a bit big.
The old man of Tianhai glared at Ziyang Zhenren for a long time, and saw that he looked calm and did not mean the slightest joke, so he sat down again, threw a son randomly, and said in a sullen voice: "So what has Qing'er been doing these days?"
Ziyang Zhenren immediately responded and said with a smile: "In the past three days, she has been practicing and studying the scriptures at the apprentice, and she has been getting along with the apprentice very happily. Seeing this, Poor Dao made this abrupt request to Brother Tianhai Dao. If the two factions of you and me are in the same spirit, there are many benefits. Brother Dao is a man of great wisdom, and there is no need to say much about this. ”
The old man of Tianhai was silent again, and buried himself in chess, this time he fell like a fly, full of mistakes and omissions, and ruined the good situation.
From the moment he entered the Daode Sect, the old man of Tianhai was separated from the three disciples, but he only played chess with several real people of the Daode Sect day and night. He was confident, knowing that he was not there, Shi Ji and the others could do it without scruples. Sure enough, the three beloved disciples lived up to his high expectations, and killed the younger generation of disciples of the Daode Sect with an understatement.
But he never expected that there would be such an ending in the end!
If this marriage really happens, it is indeed a major event that sensationally affects the righteous path, but he has changed from a challenge to sending people up the mountain, not just leaving a name for the ages?
But Gu Qingcai went to Moganfeng, how could he be so entangled with Ziyang Zhenren's apprentice?
The old man of Tianhai left the Taiqing Palace, his murderous aura was like a tide, and in a blink of an eye, he came to the residence of Gu Qing and the others. At this time, the night was low, the cold stars were hanging high, and before he stepped into the courtyard gate, he heard a quarrel in the courtyard.
"You run to Ji Ruochen's residence every morning and return late at night, what kind of system is this? This is an extremely rare thing for him, who is known for his determination.
"Yunzhongju's face is not tied to me, and my senior brother is serious. Gu said lightly.
"No matter what, don't go to Ji Ruochen's residence tomorrow!" Chu Han shouted.
At this time, Shi Ji seemed to feel that the atmosphere was wrong, and hurriedly interjected: "Senior brother, why should you be angry? Senior Sister Gu must have other plans.....
Before Shi Ji finished speaking, Gu Qing interrupted her, and there was a faint chill in her indifferent voice: "Senior Brother Chu Han, what you said just now, after you take charge of the Yunzhongju Portal, it's not too late to say it!"
"You ......" Chu Han was speechless for a while.
The old man of Tianhai snorted heavily and stepped into the main hall.
When Gu Qing, Chu Han and Shi Ji saw Tianhai coming, they all saluted and greeted. Gu Qing was still indifferent, Shi Ji was always smiling shallowly, unable to see his mind clearly, and Chu Han was slightly happy.
The old man of Tianhai sat in the center, his eyes were like substance, staring at Gu Qing, silent, and his face was like thunder. After staring at a pillar of incense like this, the old man Tianhai said slowly: "What kind of Ji Ruochen's residence have you been staying in for the past three days?"
"Yes. ”
"You asked Ziyang Zhenren to refer to the Tao Te Sect scriptures?"
"Yes. ”
"Tell me, what have you read in the past three days?"
"Time is in a hurry, but I have read a few of the three halal recipes. ”
"Three Halal Tips?!"
The old man of Tianhai broke off and slapped the iron-hearted wood-carved turtle chair under the seat heavily! This palm fell silently, but the seat that was invulnerable to water and fire and stronger than steel dissipated without a trace, as if it had never appeared in the world.
The old man of Tianhai danced to himself without wind in a few strands of his hair, and said word by word: "I have countless secret methods in the clouds, which point of Xuanhuang Baolu is worse than the three halal secrets, and you want to read the collection of the Daode Sect? Do you know that the Ziyang Zhenren has already proposed to me today!!"
When Shi Ji heard this, he couldn't help but cover his lips lightly, and let out a soft cry. Chu Han's face also changed in an instant.
Gu Qing smiled lightly and said, "Then agree." ”
Rustling, rustling, like a whisper of spring cannibalizing leaves, the glorious main building of the triple height of the Water Pavilion suddenly turned into pieces of fine sand, and went away with the night wind, but there was nothing left, even the green jade ground and the dark rock foundation were wiped clean. For a time, the center of the Water Pavilion was located, and only a large pit more than two feet deep remained.
The old man of Tianhai sat in the air, still maintaining the posture of clapping his hands and striking down. And Gu Qing stood in the air with his hands in his hands, calmly opposite, his plain shirt was like washing, and the dust was not clean.
For a long time, for a long time, the old man of Tianhai exhaled a breath of turbidity, and this breath was roaring, and it thundered in the middle of the night: "Although I can't control you, I can still take you back to the mountain." I will say goodbye to Ziyang Zhenren early tomorrow morning and set off for the mountain in the afternoon!"
In the early morning of the second day, Ji Ruochen, who was preoccupied, watched Gu Qing walk into the courtyard with the first line of morning light, as he had done in the past three days.
The taste of these three days is really indescribable, and the way is unclear.
On the first day, Ji Ruochen still subconsciously didn't dare to look at Gu Qing, perhaps because of her unfathomable profundity, or because of her penetrating gaze.
When he finally overcame this problem and was able to face Gu Qing head-on, he was able to discover Gu Qing's world-class posture. It's just that she is too atmospheric, so atmospheric that it is like there is a heaven and earth in her chest, in front of her, Ji Ruochen only has the intention of retreating, and she can't be surprised at all.
In the past three days, Gu Qingzhen accompanied him to study hard and study the true meaning of the Great Dao. Ji Ruochen knew that she was about the same age, but whether it was astrological divination, Danding talismans, or immortal legends, and mystical studies, Gu Qing knew everything, and all of them were refined, and they were all deep, and they couldn't see the bottom. When Ji Ruochen was drawing talismans or meditating for a while, Gu Qing occasionally moved to tidy up his residence for him, making Ji Ruochen frightened.
Ji Ruochen wasn't afraid that Gu Qing would find out any secrets when he tidied up the room, since she knew all about the secret of dissociation, what other secrets could not be known? He just really didn't know why Gu Qing would deign to tidy up the room for him.
Seriously, it was just a one-sided relationship with this Gu Qing at first, and it was even more incomprehensible because she acted like this. Thinking of the possible meanings behind these actions, even Ji Ruochen himself felt that it was incredible, absolutely impossible.
When she first heard Gu Qing say that Ziyang Zhenren allowed her to consult the classics, Ji Ruochen was still suspicious, but firstly, the real people were fighting chess with the old man of Tianhai at that time, and he couldn't find Ziyang Zhenren, and secondly, when Gu Qing came to the door the next day, there were already three more ancient scrolls in his arms, which were Taiqing Shangsheng, Gaosheng, and Taisheng Three Classics. These three scriptures can only be obtained from the Tibetan scripture hall, and only then did Ji Ruochen know that she could indeed read the scriptures at will, including the three pure truths.
In the past three days, Ji Ruochen has not gained anything from his travels. Every night is the time for him to meditate and meditate, and when he meditates, Gu Qing will quietly leave, and the next day will come at the same time as the first line of morning light. But even if she had left, Ji Ruochen always felt that those clear eyes were watching him, where could he calm down?
In the early morning of the fourth day, Gu Qingyi walked through the hall as if entering and leaving his own courtyard, walked directly into the study, and sat on the main seat behind the desk. Ji Ruochen smiled awkwardly, and had to sit tremblingly in the guest seat as a few days ago.
Gu Qingru Shenlong came from outside the sky, and as soon as he appeared, he caught him with the big handle of the dissociation immortal technique, no matter if she wanted wind or rain, how could Ji Ruochen not obey?
Gu Qing stared at Ji Ruochen and was silent. Ji Ruochen was used to being stared at by her like this, and he could bear it, but under the gaze of that clear as water, he seemed to be unable to keep the slightest secret, and this taste was still indescribably uncomfortable.
"Brother Ruochen, can you show me your hands?"
Facing Gu Qing's snow-like hand stretched out in front of him, Ji Ruochen couldn't help but be stunned. He hesitated for a moment, although he felt that it was ridiculous, in this situation, he should have changed roles with Gu Qing. But Ji Ruochen knew that he had no choice, so he still had to raise his right hand and put it in Gu Qing's snow-white palm.
The two hands are gently put together like this.
Gu Qing pondered for a moment, and said, "Brother Ruochen, you and I have met for a short time, and it is time to say goodbye." As soon as noon is by, I will go back to the clouds. ”
Ji Ruochen was relieved and let out a sigh of relief.
Gu Qing couldn't help but smile lightly, which made Ji Ruochen's eyes light up in an instant.
She flipped her hand, gently patted the back of Ji Ruochen's hand, and said softly: "Brother Ruochen, in this world, there will be chaos, and you and I will be extremely bad. I see that your mind is like steel, you know Tao Hui's way of perseverance very well, and your hands are full of blood and killing intent, and it is not difficult to kill and kill ruthlessly, but if you want to survive the catastrophe of this world, it is not enough. You are feminine and forbearing, but you are not strong and resolute. Ruochen, you are a dignified seven-foot man, you can't always and everywhere only think about forbearance and scheming, and you should have the heroism of ten swings and ten decisions!"
Ji Ruochen was stunned when he heard this, all kinds of things in the past came to his heart at the same time in an instant, and it was the first time he saw Gu Qing's gentle state, and for a while, he only felt a roar in his ears, his thoughts were confused, and he couldn't think clearly.
Gu Qing sighed lightly, patted Ji Ruochen's hand, stood up, and spread the paper and ink in front of the desk, waving the new words in an instant, looking at the handwriting, the silver hook and iron stroke, with the edge not exposed, implicitly containing heaven and earth.
Ji Ruochen also stood up and read in a low voice:
immortal
Guyue, a famous mountain
Nourishing the body, rejuvenating the face
Eat potpourri and drink the fountain of youth
Enjoy the pine waves and watch the cranes fluttering
Reincarnation resolves grievances, and Xiuzhen abandons attachments
Whoever says that the fairy road is light and dusty, will know that I continue to be the leading edge
......
Ji Ruochen's attainments in poetry and books are limited, but after reading this word, he tasted a little loneliness in the ethereal fairy, and he was stunned for a while.
Gu Qing looked at the sky and said with a smile: "The time has come, don't pass it here, he should see Brother Ruochen again in the future." ”
Ji Ruochen was stunned, but he sent him off silently. Walking to the gate of the courtyard, he stood still, and when he wanted to speak, he was a little hesitant. Gu Qing wasn't in a hurry, he just stood with his hands down.
Finally, Ji Ruochen sighed and said, "According to your words, your robbery is also extremely heavy, so ...... Be careful all the way. ”
This time it was Gu Qing's turn to be stunned.
Quiet.
Gu Qing suddenly smiled and said, "There is no need to worry about this matter. I will pretend to be gentle and graceful in front of you!"
The words are still in her ears, but she has already gone far away.
Ji Ruochen opened his mouth and stood for a long time, then shook his head and closed the courtyard door.
That night, he did not touch a single thing in the courtyard, as if this was the only way to keep this chaotic few days.
