Asked About The World Of Mortals

Chapter 176: Guarding the Tomb

Qin Yi came to the back of Ju Yunxiu's house for the first time.

There is a cliff not far away. From behind the house to the cliff, there are green grass, a few tea trees, and the fragrance of flowers. At this time, the tips of the leaves are tender, and I don’t know if the green tea grew here...

There is a lounge chair on the grass with a book on it. It looks like a place where Ju Yunxiu relaxes, reads and sleeps in the afternoon.

Very bourgeois.

Qin Yi feels that if you add a parasol on it, pair it with sunglasses and coffee, it will be like a villa lawn, a model of petty bourgeoisie life.

There is a clear pond outside the back of the house. Qingcha said that this is where the brushes were washed. However, it does not look dirty at all. It is not stained black with ink as expected, and there is no variety of paints on the brush. On the contrary, it is crystal clear, with lotus leaves looming, and fish and shrimps flickering in and out under the lotus leaves.

There is a rainbow floating on the pool, running through the north and south, like a bridge.

Ju Yunxiu slowly walked onto the rainbow.

Qin Yi stood behind and felt a little embarrassed: "I don't know how to fly into the clouds. Will I fall if I step on it?"

Ju Yunxiu made a sound, looked back and smiled softly: "Come up, it won't fall."

Qin Yi tried to step on it, but it was neither virtual nor real, and he didn’t know the material. It felt like a dream when he stepped on it.

"Is this...painted?"

"yes."

Ju Yunxiu simply responded and stood on Hongqiao looking at the lotus leaves without saying much.

Qin Yi walked slowly to his side and heard Ju Yunxiu whisper softly: "This Hongqiao is the symbol of the initial completion of my painting. It can already make dead objects appear. Although it does not involve the soul, it already has infinite possibilities. It is also from From that moment on, Master safely passed on the sect to me."

So this is considered a commemorative boudoir place? Ordinary people cannot come.

She also has the heart of a young literary girl.

Qin Yi stood side by side next to her, feeling the fragrance lingering on the tip of his nose, and whispered: "Actually, people like you... don't want to be a sect leader."

"You can't just get a bargain and be good." Ju Yunxiu said: "Although I don't want to take on any important responsibilities of the sect, I must admit that the benefits of being the sect leader are great. These twenty-two spiritual mountains are under my control, and the mountain spirits are under my control." The land listens to my instructions, the relics of my ancestors belong to me, and the chess-crazy book fairy protects me... If a person is free and at ease outside, it seems that he is more in line with his own way, but in fact he may not be able to enjoy the comfort of today's world."

Qin Yi thought thoughtfully, the truth here is actually a bit interesting, and many people may not be able to see it clearly like Ju Yunxiu.

Although Ju Yunxiu has a youthful spirit, he is still a sober and strong person after all. He will not "run towards freedom and hobbies" and forget what is the prerequisite for truly giving himself comfort.

"So since we enjoy this benefit, we need to bear this responsibility, care about its inheritance, and maintain its majesty." Ju Yunxiu said: "I once thought that if I find a reliable successor, I can learn from the chess-crazy book fairy The two uncles are the same, if you give the burden to the young people and become a supreme elder yourself, then you can have both worlds."

Qin Yi pointed at himself with a strange look on his face: "Have you considered me?"

"I thought about it originally." Ju Yunxiu laughed and said: "Later I felt that you have less power and ambition than me, and you have no sense of belonging. If I really leave it to you, I'm afraid you will run faster than me. "

"Understand me." Qin Yi also smiled: "Because of this, you and I are the same person."

Ju Yunxiu tilted his head slightly, his face flushed, but he did not refute.

Indeed, their mutual friendship stems from this.

Similarly, he has no desire for power and greed, and loves the purity and freedom of being out of the world, and the pursuit of music and painting without competing with the world.

The same loneliness, the same feeling... like a passerby.

One is that he doesn’t even have a Fellow Daoist, so he has no one to listen to him, so he can only bully the little maid. One is that he always feels a little out of place in this world, a stranger in a foreign land. When Liu Su disappears, he feels unbearable loneliness.

Of course, the specifics are still very different. For example, Ju Yunxiu is sincerely obsessed with music, calligraphy and painting, while Qin Yi only treats it as a way of enlightenment. And Ju Yunxiu also knew that Qin Yi was not as modest and a gentleman as he appeared on the face, and he also had some dirty thoughts.

But compared to the difficulty of finding a soulmate, those differences are not important anymore, and it is not like looking in the mirror.

So they were so compatible with each other that even the plan to let him participate in the discussion conference was changed.

Originally, they were just confidants who comforted each other, and neither party had any impure thoughts. However, after being tossed by the "picture scroll confession" that was misunderstood by the entire Immortal Palace, it was finally no longer pure.

The moods of both parties are rippled, and the reason is unclear. The channel of love has not yet been completed, and even if it is said to be cut off, they will not let go.

So "I want to draw you with my own hands" became the best excuse between the two.

In fact, they stand side by side on the Hongqiao Bridge, enjoying the gentle breeze blowing by the pool. They are quiet and quiet. They are just companions, so where do they get the brushes?

He didn't know how long he stood quietly before Qin Yi broke the silence: "Your master's painting is in the hands of Zheng Yunyi... Is it the one you said you lost to the Zheng family in a bet?"

After all, business is important, and you can take your time with other things.

"That should be another one. My master should not give my portrait to others." Ju Yunxiu pondered: "In my understanding, this painting should be buried with the master..."

"From this tone, you didn't bury it with your own hands?"

Ju Yunxiu said angrily: "Who do you want to bury monks like us? Choose your own tomb, and it will be sealed in all directions, and the world will be unknown."

After a pause, he continued: "When the gods and humans are in decline, their ugliness is fully revealed... They are even more embarrassed than mortals dying. No one wants to be seen unless necessary."

Qin Yi complained: "The monks are obsessed with saving face, but they still look beyond the surface."

"..."

"So since you didn't bury it yourself, this painting was lost to the Zheng family, and the other one was buried with it." Qin Yi said: "You think your master won't give your portrait to others, maybe he didn't give it to others. Your master intended to bring you and someone from the Zheng family together, but he later put it aside."

Ju Yunxiu frowned and thought for a while, then said to himself: "It's not impossible. If so, it means that the master was dissatisfied with the palace master at the beginning and reached some kind of tacit understanding with Mou Zong."

"Huh? And the story of the palace master?"

"Because the palace master has not been seen in person for many years. Everything is relayed by the crane. Even if we go to the palace to see him, we talk to him from a distance and never see anyone."

Qin Yi finally understood why this Tao discussion conference, which was supposed to reflect the importance of the palace master, did not see the palace master in person.

It’s no wonder that some people in the Planning Sect began to use their calculations on their fellow sects, intending to gradually annex or squeeze space to seize resources. The ultimate goal is probably to seek the position of palace master. Shouldn't the Palace Master be completely unaware of such a situation among his disciples? Perhaps he is in some abnormal situation and it is not appropriate to deal with it in a big way, so he has to understand it tacitly?

"I'm afraid something may have happened to the Palace Master... Before he showed up for the last time, did you hear that he was going to secretly practice any skills or do anything?"

Ju Yunxiu thought for a while: "I only heard a very strange word from Xianhe, saying that he was guarding tombs. But in this fairy palace, whose tomb is worthy of being guarded by the palace owner in seclusion?"

Qin Yi was also at a loss when he heard this. Ju Yunxiu didn't know anything about the Myriad Dao Immortal Palace for thousands of years. He knew even less about the Immortal Palace, let alone trying to figure out what was going on.

But at least one thing can be judged.

The palace owner is actually in a semi-retired state and will not show up under normal circumstances. In fact, most of the deacons in the main hall of the Immortal Palace do not have high levels of cultivation and are responsible for the operation of internal and external government affairs. In other words, the actual controllers of the Myriad Dao Immortal Palace are the four strongest sects. Whoever defeats the other three sects will be the acting palace master...

Then you, Qinqi, Shuhua, there are only two or three kittens here. If others don’t come to you for surgery first, who else will they go to?

"If this is the case... we can actually ask the other two sects to intervene and tell them the truth of the death of lips and teeth. If we fail, they will be next. Why should we two sects stupidly fight each other?"

Ju Yunxiu hesitated and said: "If someone else intervenes, I'm afraid the situation will be more complicated. After all, we have few people and will be stretched to cope."

Qin Yi said: "But the other party has invited outsiders to intervene, and he is not as gentleman as imagined. I'm afraid that we will have to fight one against two, and that would be a tragedy."

"Huh?" Ju Yunxiu didn't react for a moment.

Qin Yi sneered slightly: "Where did the Dahuanxi Temple elixir in Xixiangzi come from?"

Uh, what about 520, the update will be a little later tonight... there will be an update tomorrow.
