when the wind and cloud cry

Chapter 9

Nangong Xianyun who returned to Liubo Palace was a little absent-minded, Shen Li's words made her feel confused.

That day, several new junior sisters were sitting by the lake talking.

They are all young ladies of the Ruishi family, so they have the opportunity to join the Shocking Evil Sword Sect. There is no commoner, let alone a slave.

A man named Jin Lian said: "The master treats us very well. My father's salary for half a year in the border gate is not as good as my one-month offering. I am more competitive than my two younger brothers!"

Another person named Hua Yun said: "So we must always be grateful to the imperial court, and even more grateful to the teacher."

The person named Shui Fu said: "The person I want to thank most is my father. If he hadn't been born as an elite, we would be as miserable as those slaves!"

Jin Lian said: "Our Sishui prefecture and county had a disaster, and more than 3 people starved to death. The river was full of common people's corpses, and the fish and shrimp were fattened!"

Shuifu said: "No wonder my mother said that fish in the water cannot be eaten. They are all for the common people. They eat fish fed by the flesh and blood of their own kind. It's scary to think about it!"

A figure slowly approached, Huayun looked back, her face changed drastically: "Senior Sister Xianyun..."

Nangong Xianyun's face was as white as paper: "Is what you said just now true?"

All the girls realized that they had made a mistake and saw that the situation was gone.

Nangong Xianyun was the only one left by the lake.

The autumn wind blew a few dead leaves to her feet, and a lone goose wailed a few times, startling the sky like a bloody sunset.

Suddenly someone shouted in the distance: "Look, it's a mirage!"

Nangong Xianyun raised her eyes, and saw countless corpses floating on the river, and dried corpses hung in the woods on both sides...

It seemed that the world Shen Li depicted was clearly printed on the bloody sky.

Spectacular and terrifying!

Creepy!

"It turns out...he didn't lie to me!"

Nangong Xianyun murmured: "It turns out that the world is like this. Dad, is this the world you gave up your life to protect?"

"Why it came out like this……"

She raised her head and asked softly, the sky was silent, only a tear fell from her bright eyes.

you can be naive,
you can be ignorant,
But time can always slowly unfold the truth step by step, and finally put it in front of you!

Perhaps unbearably light, perhaps unbearably heavy.

No matter how well intentioned or malicious, lies can temporarily blind a pair of bright eyes, but not forever.

Because the sky is always so clear, like a mirror reflecting the real projection of the world.

Ever since a rare mirage appeared on Yujian Peak that day, Nangong Xianyun could no longer smile from the bottom of her heart.

You face life with a fake smile every day.

Every day I hear compliments from others that are heartfelt.

I have to fight with my heart every day.

You doubt whether your classmates from your father's generation are really doing the right thing, and you deeply examine and even question whether the values ​​​​of your master are correct.

You fall into the emotions of self-examination, self-doubt, and self-denial.

You can no longer convince yourself.

You can't make yourself believe that the world is still so relaxed and beautiful.

You can't pretend that everything around you is still so fresh and pleasant.

And so on day after day.

Slowly one day turns into January...

Living like this every day, my heart finally couldn't bear it.

really tired.

You find that you can no longer be as heartlessly happy as before.

then……

You start to choose to escape.

When you find out that the whole world is lying to you, will you flee to the only truth?
"I've only been to Yujing City, I never imagined that the outside would look like this."

When she came to that mountain peak, the young man was still sitting on the rock and looking into the distance, with sharp edges and corners on his stern face.

"Why did you come to me again? Do you expect me to comfort you? Please like them?" Shen Ru looked at her with a sneer.

When everyone behaves hypocritically and hypocritically under the autocratic will of the real Tianji, the rebellious and perverted Shen Li shows stand out in the eyes of Nangong Xianyun.

He looked very different.

Nangong Xianyun's eyes were misty, and she said delicately: "Can you be patient with me? Although I am naive, I am not stupid and sweet. I have never done anything harmful to nature, so I don't deserve your hatred. I just hope that I can see you often in the future." Seeing you, I want to talk to you intimately!"

Shen Li was silent like a sculpture, making it impossible to guess his heart.

Nangong Xianyun asked softly, "You, why don't you play that flute?"

"Seeing you, I'm not in the mood!" Shen Li said.

"Then...you don't need to please me, I will please you!"

Nangong Xianyun thought for a while, then suddenly said, "How about... I'll show you the dance?"

"You can still dance?" Shen Li pouted.

Gracefully removing the hairpin on top of her head, Nangong Xianyun's black hair fell down like a waterfall in an instant.

When the hair on the cheeks touched the glamorous and elegant face, it became more evil and charming.

Facing the hunting wind, she raised her waterfall-like green hair to surround her smile, and said sweetly: "If you want to ask the sound of the flute to turn into purple smoke, you have also practiced dancing for a long time. Why do you regret dying when you are young, and the long song is so long. my heart……"

At that moment, she rolled up her long sleeves suddenly, and flew into the sky, like flying in Dunhuang, Shen Li's eyes lit up when she saw it.

Nangong Xianyun's physique is weak, although she can't practice Taoism, she still has basic lightness skills. In addition, she is very talented in music and dancing, and she immediately showed amazing dancing postures.

When that beautiful and graceful figure was reflected in Shen Ran's eyes, there seemed to be a poignant beauty that shocked people's hearts.

His dismissive expression was replaced by fascination.

He stared at her infatuatedly, feeling more and more that the slight grievances and hurts he felt towards this beautiful senior sister were undeserved.

The clear singing is like the chants of Yifeng, and the wonderful dance returns to the sky.

"Turning back but looking at the world, playing the flute and drums in the hall, making the clouds, and swaying the green silk, so that you can take advantage of the blessings and smiles, guide the smoke of the mountains together, and accompany you to the end of the world..."

Shen Li's heart moved at will, and he played the flute.

that person

that fog,

that flower,

that tree,

that cliff...

It was as if they were all in harmony with each other all of a sudden, completely blending together.

I can't tell which is a person, which is a tree, which is a flower, and which is the sound of a flute.

The ethereal and surging flute sounds are dancing, lingering in this lonely and vast world.

From this day on, heavy gully winds often blow from the mountains, bringing not only freshness and coolness, but also faint singing...

In order to please Shen Li, Nangong Xianyun often finds new music scores and writes lyrics for him...

It is a bond that transcends the world.

This fetter is not only tied in the intoxicating dance music, but also tied in the hearts of the two.

After another period of time, Shen Li was very bored lying on the bed, and the time to wake up was getting longer and longer.

"Senior Sister Xianyun and I are obsessed with singing and dancing all day long, is it going to continue like this?"

Thinking that he couldn't do anything, Shen Li sat up from the bed, sighed and said: "If I can live up to it, can I be able to be with my senior sister..."

"Shen Ran, are you there?" Nangong Xianyun's excited voice sounded outside the attic.

Shen Li opened the door and saw Nangong Xianyun took out a silk package: "This is for you."

"For me?" Shen Li was stunned after shaking away.

It was a scroll depicting the words "Qi Jue Pu".

Taking advantage of people not paying attention, Nangong Xianyun hurriedly pushed Shen Li into the room, and said in a serious manner: "This is something from the Demon Palace in the Western Regions. I stole it out after searching through the library. Do you like it?"

The thing of the magic palace?

No matter how precious something is, it is nothing more than a curly sheet music.

Facing Nangong Xianyun's expectant gaze, Shen Li opened the scroll and looked at it, smiled casually, and stuffed the thing back into her hand.

Nangong Xianyun said in surprise: "What? You don't like it?"

Shen Li said: "Even though your master and your mother love you, stealing the belongings of the Demon Palace is a felony for the master, so you should return it!"

Nangong Xianyun said: "It's not some kind of exercise secret book, it's just a curly score?"

Shen Li couldn't bear to reject her offer, so he stuffed the scroll under the pillow, and sat on the side of the bed sullenly.

"Are you not happy?"

Nangong Xianyun sat beside him, reached out and touched Shen Li's forehead: "Are you sick?"

"It's been a year since I came to Yujian Peak, and in two years' time it will be the internal examination of the three veins. Now the disciples of all the veins have learned something, even Shuoyue and the others have been promoted to rank six imperial warriors!"

"But I'm just a waste..."

Shen Li looked at the jade flute in his hand and clenched it tightly.

Nangong Xianyun said softly: "You don't want to be like this, isn't it good for us to be like this now? Yan Wu Shengge smiles proudly in the world of mortals, why bother yourself?"

"No!"

Shen Ran stood up and yelled: "This is not my original intention of coming to Yujian Peak. You won't understand. I am different from you. How can you understand my unwillingness?"

Nangong Xianyun was terrified by his appearance.

It turned out that I didn't understand his heart at all, and what he wanted was not such a life.

But what can I do for him?
After a while, Nangong Xianyun stood up, walked out of the room silently, and closed the door gently.

"Although I don't understand your heart, how can you understand mine..."

With her back against the door, tears streaming down her eyes, she said faintly: "You won't understand, and you will never understand."

After Nangong Xianyun left, he didn't come to see Shen Li for many days, which made him very worried.

Shen Li realized that he shouldn't lose his temper. Although the anger was not directed at Nangong Xianyun, he made the senior sister sad after all.

With this guilt in mind, Shen Li came to Liubo Mountain, but was blocked by Shui Fu and Jin Lian from the mountain gate.

Shui Fu shouted: "Shen Li, thanks to you being the first adopted son, don't you understand the rules of the family?"

"Our Liubo Mountain is not a place for male disciples to walk around casually!" Jin Lian said.

"Two junior sisters, please don't get me wrong. I have no other intentions, but because I haven't seen Senior Sister Xianyun for many days, I am very worried. I don't know how Senior Sister Xianyun is now?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, Shui Fu snorted: "You still have the nerve to say, a few days ago, after Senior Sister Xianyun came back from your Songzi Valley, she couldn't get sick. You know that her heart is depressed, and you feel sad Yu's life is in danger, but he makes her sad, what kind of heart is there?"

Upon hearing that Nangong Xianyun was ill, Shen Li asked anxiously, "How is Senior Sister Xianyun?"

Jin Lian said: "Don't worry, senior sister's condition is now stable. Don't bother her anymore!"

Shen Li choked: "Am I pestering her?"

Shui Fu said, "Isn't it? No one in the family knows that you have a calamity in alchemy and have no chance of cultivating, so you use your sweet words to trick Senior Sister Xianyun to win her favor. It's just to climb a high tree. If you still know your sense of shame, you should do it as soon as possible." Stop this evil thought and save some face for your Songzi Valley!"

Jin Lian said: "Because of this incident, Senior Sister Xianyun was banned by Master for half a month. Even if you Song Zigu can afford to lose this person, our Master will still have face!"

Shen Ru couldn't help but feel agitated.

After all, he is just at the age of youth, and he is not a piece of wood. After getting along with Nangong Xianyun for a long time, he will naturally develop a man and woman's heart.

Moreover, he really, really likes this considerate senior sister.

This kind of tenderness was something he had never had before.

It's just that Shen Li didn't dare to go half a step beyond that thunder pool, and he didn't expect that the rumors between the two of them had already spread wildly.

At that moment he said in a shy voice: "Senior sister and I are out of temperament, we share the same interests, and we have no such wrong intentions. I was ignorant before. I'm sorry for her, and I hope she will cherish it!"

After saying that, Shen Li left sadly.

A never-before-seen sadness rose from my heart.

It was him who cruelly uncovered the truth of this world and left a scar in her heart.

If he could go back to that beautiful evening, he would rather not say anything to her.

Maybe, just passing by like that, won't increase the distress so much.
