In the early morning, a gentle breeze blows slowly, and the green bamboo forest all over the mountain is swaying together. The sound of rustling bamboo waves is like the sound of nature, which makes people feel peaceful. There was a heavy rain last night, as if everything between heaven and earth had been washed away. The fresh air blew past my face, and the mountains and rivers in the distance were covered with blue, and the landscape was picturesque.
The stone path under your feet is still wet. Occasionally, there is still some rainwater that accumulated last night in the gaps between the stones. There are many falling bamboo leaves on and on both sides of the stone path. They must have been blown down by the wind and rain last night. It was still early, so no one had come to clean it yet.
Lu Xueqi, dressed in white as snow and as delicate as the dust, walked alone in the bamboo forest path. In the dim light of the morning breeze, her hair is draped softly on her shoulders. Looking at her skin that can be broken by a blow, there is still a faint hint of pink in the snow-white, like the beautiful flowers blooming quietly in the deep mountains and valleys.
On both sides of the stone path, the tall bamboos swayed slightly, and there were condensed dewdrops on the green bamboo leaves, sliding quietly over and flying quietly to the earth.
She stepped forward without looking back, her white clothes fluttering, and she walked into the depths of the green bamboo forest.
The stone path was deep and winding, and the early morning light filtered in through the dense gaps in the bamboo forest. The bamboo shadows swayed slightly, illuminating her slim figure.
A simple bamboo house gradually appeared in front of him. It was the place where Master Shuiyue, the first of the Xiaozhufeng lineage, usually meditated and practiced.
Lu Xueqi walked to the hut, stopped at the door, hesitated for a moment, stretched out her hand and gently tapped the door made of bamboo.
¡®Master, my disciple Xue Qi pays my respects. ¡¯
'come in! ¡¯ Master Shuiyue¡¯s voice came out from the hut. It was neither happy nor sad, and seemed to have the slightest emotion, as light as water.
The door creaked and Lu Xueqi gently pushed it open. Lu Xueqi walked in and saw her master sitting cross-legged on the bamboo bed with her eyes closed and her expression calm. She couldn't see anything because of her arrival. And the changing expression.
Lu Xueqi silently walked up to Master Shuiyue, knelt down, and whispered: 'Master, my disciple is here. ¡¯
She paused for a moment, and then continued: "Xueqi knows that she is unworthy and has failed to live up to your old man's expectations and made you sad, Master. Please punish me!" ¡¯
Master Shuiyue slowly opened his eyes, and his gaze fell on Lu Xueqi in front of him. He stared at it for a long time, then sighed and said: 'If I punish you, will you change your mind and leave that boy named Xiao? ¡¯
Lu Xueqi lowered her head in silence, not daring to look at her master's face, and didn't say a word. She just looked at her expression, but there was no sign of regret at all?
Master Shuiyue shook his head and said with a wry smile: 'You are already married to him, it's a done deal, what's the point of me punishing you, that's it, that's it. Get up! ¡¯
Lu Xueqi bit her lower lip slightly. She seemed a little excited, but she still controlled herself and stood up.
Master Shuiyue gently patted the bamboo couch beside him and said: ¡®You should sit down too! ¡¯
Lu Xueqi shook her head and said: 'Disciple doesn't dare. ¡¯
Master Shuiyue glanced at her and said: "There are just the two of us here, what's there to argue about? Is it possible that in your heart you resent me as a master for being separated from me?" ¡¯
Lu Xueqi suddenly raised her head, shook her head hurriedly and said: 'Master, I'
Master Shuiyue waved his hand and said with a smile: 'Okay, okay, you were raised and taught by me. Don't I know what your temper is like? ¡¯
She reached out and took Lu Xueqi's hand, gently pulled her over to sit next to her, looked at Lu Xueqi's beautiful and elegant face carefully, sighed and said: "No matter what, I am the master." , in the end it¡¯s all for your own good, you have to remember. ¡¯
Lu Xueqi moved the corner of her mouth and whispered: "As I understand, it is actually my fault"
Master Shuiyue shook his head and said: "Forget it, let's not argue about who is right and who is wrong now. It is your blessing that you and him can come together" At this point It was as if Master Shuiyue himself had touched his mind, and was stunned for a moment.
Lu Xueqi did not dare to disturb the master, but felt the warmth coming from the master holding her palm, which was familiar to her after a long absence.
I don¡¯t know how long it took, but Master Shuiyue was suddenly shocked and woke up from his trance. He smiled bitterly, as if he was a little self-deprecating, and then said to Lu Xueqi: "Hey, let¡¯s talk about these things later. I asked Wenmin to call you last night." Come here, has she told you everything she did? ¡¯
Lu Xueqi shook her head and said, "Senior sister didn't say anything. She just told me to come to Master early in the morning. If anything happens, Master will tell me." ¡¯
Master Shuiyue nodded silently and said: ¡®That¡¯s right, even though that girl Wenmin knows a little bit,But after all, it¡¯s not much, so let me tell you! ¡¯
Lu Xueqi's heart was slightly shocked. Seeing that Master Shuiyue's face was a little heavy, as if there was something difficult in his heart, he couldn't help but said: "Master, is there anything difficult? If there is a place where the disciple is needed, just give me the order, and the disciple will try his best to go there." Do it, even if you do it, even if' She hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Even if the disciple can't do it, Yun Fei will definitely help me do it."
Master Shuiyue nodded and said with a smile: "Of course I believe you, but there is indeed a big thing right now, and I'm afraid your ability is not enough to do it. However, Xiao Yunfei should still be sure, I think." After much deliberation, among the Qingyun Sect, he is the only one who can do this now, so I asked you to come here. ¡¯
Lu Xueqi raised her eyebrows and said in slight surprise: 'Master, has something big happened to our sect? ¡¯
Master Shuiyue smiled bitterly and said: 'Who says it's not the case? ¡¯
Lu Xueqi said: ¡®What happened, Master? ¡¯
Master Shuiyue pondered for a moment, seeming to be thinking about it, and then said slowly: 'Your master, uncle, and uncle Tian Buyi from Dazhu Peak, disappeared together a few days ago. ¡¯
Lu Xueqi¡¯s whole body was shocked and she said: ¡®Did they disappear together? ¡¯
Master Shuiyue said calmly: "On that day, some of the Nagato disciples saw Tian Buyi coming to Tongtian Peak and went straight to the Ancestral Hall of the Patriarch of Houshan. During these days, everyone knows that the head senior brother is almost always in the Ancestral Hall of the Patriarch. And no one has seen them since. ¡¯
Lu Xueqi frowned, obviously very surprised.
Master Shuiyue paused for a moment and then said: "After this incident happened, Xiao Yicai, who is now in charge of Tongtian Peak, did not dare to cover it up because he was too involved. However, he did not dare to announce the incident anyway. He just secretly informed us several times." The person in charge of the pulse. Afterwards, I also went to the ancestor¡¯s ancestral hall to check, but I didn¡¯t expect that there was already'
Lu Xueqi was startled and said, ¡®What happened to the ancestor¡¯s ancestral hall? ¡¯ After living in seclusion in the back mountain with Xiao Yunfei for a while, she knew that with Uncle Wan Jian guarding the place, any accidents could happen.
Master Shuiyue shook his head and said: 'Almost all of the ancestral hall was destroyed. It can be seen at a glance that it was destroyed by the magic power of the fierce fighting. ¡¯
'What? ¡¯ Lu Xueqi cried out softly.
Master Shuiyue sneered and said: 'The Ancestral Hall is where our Qingyun Sect enshrines all the ancestors of the past generations. The two of them dare to do something in such a solemn place. It is really lawless. And there is something more serious. ¡¯
Lu Xueqi was surprised and shocked again. She really couldn't think of anything more serious than the destruction of the ancestral hall. She couldn't help but ask: 'What else? ¡¯
"Yesterday, Xiao Yicai hurriedly came to me." Master Shuiyue's face became solemn, and his eyes became more worried, and he said slowly: "According to what he said, since Senior Brother Daoxuan disappeared, he tried his best to trace it. When that didn't work, he wanted to check out what his master left behind to see what he found. Unexpectedly, he discovered something big during his search. ¡¯ Master Shuiyue closed his eyes, as if he was a little tired, and said, ¡®Xiao Yicai discovered that our sect¡¯s Ancient Sword of Zhuxian was also missing. ¡¯
Lu Xueqi was stunned and speechless.
Master Shuiyue opened his eyes and said: "I know you are a smart person, and you naturally know the relationship and mystery. Although the Zhuxian ancient sword has been damaged, the matter is too relevant, and most outsiders don't know about the damage of the sword. If If it is spread out, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome; besides, there is actually a huge secret in the Ancient Sword of Zhuxian, which is even more important. Only a few people including me, the headmaster of Qingyun Sect, know about it. If it is leaked, there will be consequences. It¡¯s unimaginable. ¡¯
Lu Xueqi was shocked and said: 'Aside from being the divine weapon of our sect, does the Zhuxian Sword have any secrets? ¡¯
Master Shuiyue was silent for a long time. Lu Xueqi did not dare to speak. She stood aside with her hands lowered and whispered for a long time: 'Disciple is rude and lost his temper just now. ¡¯
Master Shuiyue shook his head silently and said after a while: "I don't mean to blame you, but the relationship here is very big and the ins and outs are extremely complicated" When she said this, she paused for a while, as if she was thinking deeply. After a moment, he said: "In fact, it stands to reason that even I, the leader of the Xiaozhu Peak lineage, cannot know about it. It was because of the chaos a hundred years ago that a few of us accidentally learned something about it." ¡¯
Lu Xueqi said in astonishment: "A few of you, could it be that besides you, Master, does anyone else know about such a huge secret?" ¡¯
Master Shuiyue said calmly: 'During the chaos that year, there should have been five people involved in the chaos. In addition to me, there were also senior brother Daoxuan, Tian Buyi, and junior sister Suru'
Lu Xueqi was listening, but suddenly Master Shuiyue stopped, calculating in her mind, she couldn't help butHe said: ¡®Master, there are only four people here, is there another one? ¡¯
Master Shuiyue sighed, a hint of melancholy flashed across his face, and said, "It's your uncle named Wan Jianyi." ¡¯
