Chapter 13 Beauty Below
"Senior Brother Ruochen!" A call came from outside the door, startling Ji Ruochen, who was immersed in hard reading. He looked out the window, the moon was already hanging high, the sky was full of sunshine, and he secretly wondered who would come to visit at this time.
He pushed open the door and saw a beautiful boy in the courtyard, dressed in a moon-white robe, with picturesque eyebrows and elegant like a fairy. Like the silver moon, full of his body, but also lined with his ice muscles and snow bones, indescribably graceful, indescribable dignified and chic, it is Shang Qiushui who once had a relationship.
Ji Ruochen secretly thought that he and Shang Qiushui were only one-sided, not to mention that the day they met, it had been more than a year since they met, how could he actually come to the door by himself? Although the last time the three of them talked about wine, they talked and laughed, and the guests and hosts were happy. But that subtle and unclear feeling is really uncomfortable, and I still feel like I'm stuck in my throat when I think about it.
Although Ji Ruochen was thinking like this in his heart, a smile appeared on his face, and he greeted warmly: "It turned out to be Senior Brother Qiushui! Come, come in and sit! Why is Senior Brother Qiushui so idle today, will he come to Taichang Peak for a visit?"
Shang Qiushui didn't shirk it, and followed Ji Ruochen into the study.
Before Shang Ren could stand still, he flipped his wrist, and a blue and white ancient porcelain vase nearly two feet high was already in his hand. He put the porcelain vase on the desk. The porcelain vase has not yet been opened, but a strong aroma of wine has leaked out, and a strange fragrance has come to the nose. When Ji Ruochen smelled it, he felt that the wine was fragrant, but the taste was extremely strange, which was very different from the ordinary wine.
As soon as the porcelain vase was placed steadily, Shang Qiushui held the porcelain vase in his hand and said with a smile: "I and Senior Brother Ruochen are just one side, and it was a year ago. Coming to the door with wine tonight, Senior Brother Ruochen must have scolded me for being reckless in my heart. ”
Ji Ruochen didn't expect Shang Qiushui to go straight to the point and break his heart, Rao is thicker than the copper wall, and he couldn't help but blush slightly. But as soon as his eyes touched Shang Qiushui's water-like eyes, spring-like jade fingers, and handsome and elegant posture, he immediately felt that his throat was dry, and his body was crawling like ten thousand ants, and he was extremely uncomfortable, and he couldn't wait to send the guest off immediately. However, Shang Qiushui is an important figure among the young disciples, and he can't be offended for no reason, not to mention that he came to visit, and there was no rudeness, so it was reasonable for Ji Ruochen to find an excuse to chase away the guests.
Just when Ji Ruochen's thoughts were turning, Shang Qiushui had automatically found a chair, Ying Ying sat down, and said with a smile: ". The junior brother came to disturb Senior Brother Ruochen tonight, but there were actually three things. This is the first one, is to congratulate Senior Brother Ruochen on his rapid entry into the realm, winning the top spot for four consecutive years, if you only talk about the results of the annual examination, it is enough to be tied with Ji Bingxian. ”
Ji Ruochen hurriedly said: "Senior Brother Qiushui has a good reputation, and the annual examination is nothing more than a false name, and it can't be taken seriously." I heard that the senior brother beat Mingyun and Li Xuanzhen this year and won the top spot again, which is really gratifying. ”
How do you know that Shang Qiushui smiled lightly, and did not shirk Ji Ruochen's praise, and said: "Overpowering the two of them, it should be a matter of course, for the sake of this, Senior Brother Ruochen will know in a while, you might as well put it aside at this moment and talk about the second thing first." Originally, if Senior Brother Ruochen took the first place in the annual exam, he would never let me come to the door to disturb me. It's just that I heard that Senior Brother Ruochen didn't fake any foreign objects in this year's exam, and his blood was covered with cold clothes, and he was as decisive as a decisive battle! This kind of arrogance is rare. I made a bottle of good wine by hand, and it happened that the heat was enough, so I specially brought it to enjoy the moon with Senior Brother Ruochen. ”
Although Ji Ruochen is not good at wine, the aroma of this wine is really a little strange, and it smells quite tempting.
However, he saw that Shang Qiushui made wine from celadon ancient bottles, and Ji Ruochen's heart was slightly different. You must know that Ji Ruochen was born in an inn and personally brewed coarse wine, and knew that the custom at that time to make wine was mostly made in jars, which were easy to absorb the earth's qi, and secondly, the altar drink was also heroic. However, Shang Qiushui is actually a celadon ancient bottle, although elegant, but it is finally more delicate, it is difficult to meet the style of spirits, but it is quite in line with the charm of Shang Qiushui himself.
Look at him tonight, he is wearing a crescent white robe, decorated with dark moire, his eyes are full of waves, and he seems to have infinite tenderness. The hand that gently holds the porcelain bottle is also Bai Shengxue, soft as jade, with five slender fingers, and its beauty is no less than that of any woman in the city.
The more Ji Ruochen looked closely, the more frightened he became. If there was a woman sitting across from him, he would have risen in amazement. Ji Ruochen only felt that the wind in the study had condensed, and it took a lot of strength to take a breath. He suddenly recalled that Li Xuanzhen said that he would take him to meet a wonderful person, and Li Xuanzhen's relieved smile when he was drinking and talking, and he faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart.
It's just that this idea is too unbelievable, even if Ji Ruochen is well-informed and has a cold and resolute mentality, he doesn't dare to go a little deeper at this moment. As soon as the thought came to him, he cut it off by the roots, and in a panic he expelled it as if he had touched a piece of red-hot iron.
Shang Qiushui seemed to be completely unaware of Ji Ruochen's thoughts, so he poured two large bowls of wine and pushed one bowl in front of Ji Ruochen. As soon as the wine left the bottle, it smelled even more strange. As soon as Ji Ruochen saw this posture, he understood that he couldn't blast Shang Qiushui out for a while, so he simply drank happily. At that moment, he no longer shirked, picked up the wine bowl and drank it all.
This bowl of wine is like a stream of fire rolling down, and not only does it not sting hotly, but irons the internal organs comfortably. Then a scent suddenly returned, spreading into the limbs. Ji Ruochen only felt a bang, and his whole mind was surrounded by this strange fragrance. The aroma of this wine is strange and delicate, and it seems to be a mixture of hundreds of different aromas, which is ever-changing and endless, and it can be called an endless aftertaste.
Ji Ruochen closed his eyes for a long time, then Fang spit out a mouthful of wine, opened his eyes and said, "Senior Brother Qiushui, this wine ......"
Shang Qiushui said with a smile: "This wine is made by me picking different grapes from Xixuanshan, and after it is made into wine, it is steamed and dried seven times, supplemented by many spices, and it takes three years to get it, and it is only this one bottle." It's just that the time is too short and the flavor is limited. The only good thing is that this wine is much stronger than ordinary liquor. It's such a booze, and it has some flavor. ”
This wine is extremely powerful, Ji Ruochen went down a bowl, and the wine surged up in a moment, his cheeks were slightly drunk, and the hidden worry in his heart earlier also took advantage of this wine to fly away without a trace. Hidden worries are relieved, and you should drink freely. Moreover, although Shangqiu Sailor's handmade sake is powerful, the monks are also very human, and they will definitely not be put down by a bottle of spirits. It was the two of you who went back and forth, and in a few moments, the large bottle of grape spirits was drunk clean.
Shang Qiushui's cheeks were like fire at this time, his eyes were like water, and when he looked under the lamp, his skin was like jade and smoke, which was really beautiful. He sighed and said, "It's really a pleasure, Come, Senior Brother Ruochen, while the interest is high at this moment, I will take you to meet someone, this is the third thing tonight." ”
Shang Qiushui said, didn't wait for Ji Ruochen to answer, directly grabbed Ji Ruochen's hand and pulled him away.
As soon as he touched Shang Qiushui's hand, Ji Ruochen instinctively retracted his hand as if he had been shocked by an electric shock, but Shang Qiushui's hand was as fast as electricity, and he was not allowed to resist at all, and he was grasping a solid knot. Don't look at Shang Qiushui's beautiful and weak appearance, but Zhenyuan is extremely fierce and fierce, the strong force in his hand is simply beyond the reach of people, and Ji Ruochen has no power to resist at all, so he can only let Shang Qiushui pull all the way away.
In all fairness, Shang Qiushui's hands are cold and greasy, and the touch is almost as good as that of a smoky hand. But Ji Ruochen was pulled by Hanyan, it was a rippling heart, and he was pulled by Shang Qiushui, but he was in great distress. Along the way, Ji Ruochen thought hard about what excuse to shake off Shang Qiushui's hand, and his feet slowed down unconsciously.
Shang Qiushui smiled lightly and said, "Senior Brother Ruochen, the hour is not early, if we are not faster, we won't be able to see that person." As he spoke, he pulled Ji Ruochen to speed up and fly away.
The two of them suddenly crossed the rope bridge, circled around the Taishang Daode Palace for half a circle, and stepped on the rope bridge leading to Changyang Palace in a blink of an eye. Xu is because Ziwei Zhenren has been in retreat for too long and his disciples are sparse, compared with other palaces, Changyang Palace seems to be quite deserted and has few lights.
Shang Qiushui dragged Ji Ruochen through the palace, without stopping, all the way to the remote place behind the mountain of Changyang Palace, until he reached a small peak, and then he gently settled.
Ji Ruochen suddenly felt that the atmosphere was condensed, and there was a hint of sharpness in the night breeze. He was puzzled in his heart, and looked at Shang Qiushui, seeing that he had already smiled, his jade face was frosty, and his expression was extremely solemn, as if he had changed someone. Ji Ruochen was slightly surprised, and looked at him, and saw that there was a wooden house built on the mountainside not far away.
As if he knew the question in Ji Ruochen's heart, Shang Qiushui said slowly: "Senior Brother Ruochen, that is Ji Bingxian's residence." ”
Ji Ruochen was stunned, seeing that the wooden house was rough and simple, and judging by the size, it was a straightforward one, which was the residence of an ordinary disciple, and I was afraid that it was several times stronger than this. There is a small plaque on the lintel of the wooden house, which is faintly engraved with the word 'Ice Heart'.
Such a wooden house is actually Ji Bingxian's residence? And in the middle of the night, what did Shang Qiushui do when he dragged himself to Ji Bingxian's residence?
At this time, a strange whistling sound suddenly sounded in Ji Ruochen's ears, and it sounded like a giant beast breathing. He turned his head in surprise and saw Shang Qiushui's eyes slightly closed, inhaling deeply and slowly exhaling.
As soon as the pranayama was finished, Shang Qiushui immediately took out a small black axe the size of a palm from his bosom, shook it in the wind, and instantly turned into a giant axe with a handle four feet long and an axe as wide as a car cover! The giant axe took shape in the air, fell obliquely, and the tip of the axe was silently inserted into the hard rock, reaching deeper than two feet, and then it stopped falling.
The giant axe was dark and heavy, and it was faintly visible that there were dark patterns on the axe handle, and it was obvious that there was another mystery in it. The shape of the giant axe is clumsy, the thickness of the bowl mouth of the axe handle, and it is needless to say that it is sharp to see the right place, and then look at the size, it must weigh hundreds of catties to say the least.
Shang Qiushui's five fingers in his right hand curled like an orchid, and he gently held the handle of the giant axe, and under the moonlight, the frosty hand was in stark contrast with the dark black axe handle. He said slowly: "This axe has been cast for seven hundred years, weighs eight hundred and eighty pounds, is fierce and ruthless, indestructible, and its name is forgotten." ”
During the Daode Sect's annual examination, most of the disciples responded to the enemy with wooden swords, and Ji Ruochen was still the first time to see such a fierce weapon, and he couldn't help but be stunned: "Senior Brother Qiushui, you are ...... this"
Shang Qiushui laughed and said, "I'll know immediately!"
I didn't see Shang Qiushui exerting force, and the giant axe came out of the rock, and it seemed to have no weight. He took off the golden ring of his hair and threw it on the ground, and the wind around him blew his black hair like a flag!
Under Ji Ruochen's stunned gaze, Shang Qiushui rushed to the front of the wooden house in an instant with a slender figure, a fierce giant axe, and rushed in!
The wooden door trembled and creaked, but it was not kicked away, but slowly closed on its own.
The wooden house was dark, and in the short moment when the door opened, Ji Ruochen's eyes couldn't see what was going on inside the house. After Shang Qiushui rushed into the house, he saw that the wooden house shook a few times, and another light flashed at the window, and there was no sound again.
Between the cliffs, under the bright moon, the wooden house hung alone, lonely and peaceful.
If it weren't for the deep axe marks on the rocks under his feet, and the faint body fragrance of Shang Qiushui sent by the night wind, Ji Ruochen would almost have wondered if he had a dream just now.
In the blink of an eye, half of the incense had passed, and the wooden house still stood quietly, so quiet that it was maddening.
Ji Ruochen couldn't help but run towards the wooden house, he really remembered Shang Qiushui's safety in his heart. What's more, when Shang Qiushui rushed to the wooden house just now, the indomitable resolute momentum was not at all like cutting at the same door, but like a ......
It seems to be a stunning woman facing thousands of troops, not only did she not flee, but resolutely rushed into battle. What a desperate fierceness that is!
Ji Ruochen suddenly came to his senses, and couldn't help but be taken aback by all the strange thoughts that welled up in his mind. This Shang Qiushui is very weird, and he will always give him all kinds of seemingly and inexplicable pressures, forcing him to think crankily.
While he was thinking wildly, a breeze seemed to blow by him. Ji Ruochen stopped in an instant, staring at the few black hairs that were slowly falling in front of him, the whole person had been immersed in ice water for many days, so wooden that he could barely breathe!
Ji Ruochen slowly turned his head.
On the ground a few feet behind him, there was a huge dark black axe, most of which had been submerged in the rocks.
The giant axe seemed to fly from the underworld, passed by Ji Ruochen, cut off a few of his hairs, and then fell silently, and Ji Ruochen was almost unaware!
It's just that the axe is here, but what about the people?
With a squeak, the wooden door opened again, and a figure flew out like a broken kite, landing gently at Ji Ruochen's feet.
The wooden door closed on its own, and the moment the door opened, Ji Ruochen could still only see darkness in the wooden house.
Ji Ruochen looked at the wooden house, and then looked at Shang Qiushui, who had no scars at his feet, but couldn't even stand up, only to feel that his scalp was numb, and a chill secretly surged.
Shang Qiushui smiled reluctantly, stretched out a hand to Ji Ruochen, and said, "Brother Ruochen, please pull me up...... Ahh
As soon as Ji Ruochen saw Shang Qiushui stretching out his hand, he knew that he was injured to the point that he couldn't stand up at all, so he secretly gritted his teeth, held Shang Qiushui's hand, and pulled him up. But as soon as he heard that Senior Brother Ruochen in Shang Qiushui's mouth had become Brother Ruochen, although it was only one less word for Shi, the meaning seemed to be very different. Shang Qiushui was seriously injured, and his qi was also insufficient, but his voice was still very beautiful.
Ji Ruochen was frightened, his hand trembled suddenly, and he almost threw Shang Qiushui back to the ground.
Ji Ruochen was frightened and frightened, and hurriedly grabbed Shang Qiushui in mid-air. There was no room for hesitation at this moment, he gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and thought back to the situation when he was young when he was isolated in the snow field and alone against the evil wolf, and finally aroused a ruthlessness that regarded life and death as nothing, grabbed Shang Qiushui's waist and helped him up.
Shang Qiushui coughed a few times, pointed at the giant axe again, and said weakly: "Brother Ruochen, forget ...... feelings"
Ji Ruochen looked at the giant axe weighing eight hundred and eighty catties, his face was embarrassed, and said, "This magic weapon is too big, you better change it back." ”
Shang Qiushui smiled bitterly: "My true yuan has been exhausted, how can I have the strength to change it?"
Ji Ruochen couldn't, so he had to grab the handle of the axe with one hand, exhale and open his voice, and carry the true yuan, and lift the forgetfulness with one hand. As soon as he started to forget his feelings, Ji Ruochen realized what it meant to be eight hundred and eighty catties, he didn't go far, and his hands were already a little sour, and then he recalled that Shang Qiushui had just waved his forgetfulness, as easy as nothing, and he unconsciously had a new estimate of this delicate and soft Arctic Palace master.
Ji Ruochen didn't want to alarm the disciples of Changyang Palace, so he held Shang Qiushui with one hand and dragged his feelings with the other, bypassing Changyang Palace far away and heading towards the rope bridge.
When he walked out of the road for a while, Ji Ruochen couldn't help but ask: "Senior Brother Qiushui, was it ...... just now?"
"Sparring. ”
"Sparring, how could Sparring hurt so badly, do you have a personal vendetta with Ji Bingxian?"
Shang Qiushui chuckled and said, "The Ice Immortal is my good sister, how can I have a grudge against her? In fact, the Ice Immortal is already very, very measured...... Well, I'm hurt like this because we're still a little different from the usual fights after all. The difference is that I tried my best to find her, and she could only fight with me......"
Ji Ruochen was dumbfounded.
Shang Qiushui coughed a few times, and then said, "Senior Brother Ruochen, no matter what, you should meet the Ice Immortal. Getting along with her, even if it's just for a moment, will never make you regret it. ”
Ji Ruochen was surprised: "Is she difficult to see?"
"Bingxian almost never sees outsiders, usually she can only see her once during the annual examination, but if you want to see her twice more in the annual examination, you have to catch up with her cultivation speed, who can do this? But Senior Brother Ruochen don't be discouraged, I have a good way to make you meet her when you want to meet her. Shang Qiushui exhaled like an orchid.
How smart Ji Ruochen was, he snorted at the moment, his face was already very ugly, and said, "It won't be like you rushed in and fought hard like you just did, right?"
"Senior Brother Ruochen is really smart!"
“...... This one...... You don't have to. ”
"Senior Brother Ruochen, don't worry, Bingxian is a measured person, and she can't die if she beats him......"
"Don't!"
Shang Qiushui sighed and said, "I thought that Senior Brother Ruochen was brave and could be a little different from Li Xuanzhen, but I didn't expect it to be so useless! I thought that Li Xuanzhen and I were originally looking for the Ice Immortal at the same time, but a year ago, Xuanzhen didn't know if he was scared of being beaten, or he couldn't let go of his face, and since then he has never set foot in the Ice Immortal's residence again." So this year, he is no longer my opponent. That's exactly what I said, it was a matter of course to overpower the two of them. ”
Ji Ruochen said curiously: "So, Senior Brother Qiushui often asks Ji Bingxian to 'learn'?"
"At least three months, at most half a year, I always have to break into Bingxinju once. ”
At this time, Ji Ruochen could feel that Shang Qiushui Zhenyuan was extremely weak, his body was cold, his clothes were completely soaked with cold sweat, and he would occasionally tremble slightly, which was obviously a severe pain. Ji Ruochen couldn't help but admire a little, and said: "It turns out that Senior Brother Qiushui is also a temperamental, no wonder his cultivation is a thousand miles a day......!
Halfway through his words, he was interrupted by Shang Qiushui: "No, it's a ...... of repeated defeats."
"Huh? this ...... It doesn't seem to be any different, right?"
"Of course it's different!"
"What's the difference?"
"The momentum is different!"
