Clouds and Waters

"The West City Wall of Yueqing you mentioned is here." Murong Wan pointed to the dilapidated wall in front of her, and asked again: "A few years ago, there were many wars and the West City of Yueqing was in ruins after this catastrophe. You What are you doing here?"

Yun Chenxiao smiled but did not answer. Looking around, the sun is rising in the east, the morning glow is like fire, reflecting the red sky, the oriole is singing in the distance, and the rooster is crowing, revealing vitality.Against the backdrop of the sun, this ruin also appeared somewhat alive.Yun Chenxiao bounced around the broken bricks and tiles, and came to a big locust tree.This locust tree has luxuriant branches and leaves, soaring up to the sky, straight into the clouds, the trunk is as thick as three people hugging, it can be seen that it has gone through vicissitudes and is old for a long time.

Yun Chenxiao breathed a sigh of relief in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "There really is a locust tree here, but he didn't lie to me."

Murong Wan wondered: "Who? Who didn't lie to you?"

Yun Chenxiao stretched out his hand and scratched Murong Wan's nose and said, "You're not allowed to ask me why! You just watch."

Murong Wan suddenly smiled brightly, with a faint blush on her jade face, she whispered foolishly: "Then I don't ask. Do whatever you like."

Yun Chenxiao pursed her lips, stood under the tree solemnly, murmured something, then walked nine steps north, then closed her eyes slightly, counted, and walked two steps southeast, suddenly frowning and shaking Shaking his head, he returned to the original place again, touched the tip of his nose, as if thinking about something, but suddenly slapped his forehead, laughed a few times, and beckoned to Murong Wan mysteriously.Murong Wan went forward curiously, but she didn't know what to do.

Yun Chenxiao didn't speak, just lowered her head and stared at Murong Wan's slender waist, staring intently for a while, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.Murong Wan's cheeks were flushed with embarrassment, she took a step back and said in a trembling voice, "You...you..."

Yun Chenxiao giggled, raised her face and said, "Sister, untie your belt."

Murong Wan stared at Yun Chenxiao with her eyes wide open in astonishment, her mind went blank for a while, she almost suspected that she had heard wrong, and she didn't know how to answer.

Yun Chenxiao still had a smile on her face and said: "Sister, quickly solve it, it will be of great use to me! Oh, it will be late, and it will be hard to tell the direction."

Murong Wan said shyly in a low voice, "You...what do you want this for?"

Seeing her burying her head so low, Yun Chenxiao wished she could burrow into the soil, secretly amused in her heart, and deliberately teased her, so she bent down and tilted her head to meet her eyes, and saw her The eyes are silent and affectionate, the long eyelashes are like two small fans, fluttering, and she doesn't know what she is thinking about, and her face is even more gorgeous like peaches and plums, delicate and charming, unbelievable.

Yun Chenxiao couldn't help being stunned, now that he was meeting her eyebrows and eyes, and the tip of his nose could be touched, all the heat from her face rushed to Yun Chenxiao's face, and there was still a vague fragrance, which made Yun Chenxiao also Involuntarily her face became hot and itchy, she no longer moved randomly, her smile froze on her face, and she didn't know what to do next.

Seeing her playful smiling face, Murong Wan was startled suddenly, her heart almost jumped out of her chest, she felt Yun Chenxiao's bright and refreshing gaze flowed into her heart like a pool of clear water, and just this gaze disciplined her heart No longer belonging to oneself, following the ups and downs of the owner of that gaze.Murong Wan was startled when she thought of this, she quickly turned her back, held her beating heart, and didn't dare to look at Yun Chenxiao again.

Yun Chenxiao straightened her waist and stretched her muscles, thinking: "This girl has a thin skin too. She doesn't look like a martial artist who wields a sword." Immediately she straightened her face and said solemnly: "Hey, come out It was agreed before, you are not allowed to ask why! You also agreed!"

Murong Wan said anxiously: "Then you..."

Yun Chen smiled coolly, pretended to be deep in thought, and said, "Cough, I didn't tell you to take off your clothes. You don't have to react so much, do you? Hehe, I'll just lend you your belt, there's no other intention! If you Sorry to explain, then...haha, let me explain it for you?" As he spoke, he was about to reach out.

Murong Wan only felt her body heat up, she jumped up and said angrily: "You... big villain!"

Yun Chenxiao waved her hands and said with a smile: "Hey, silly girl, why are you so clueless? Okay, let me tell you, is your belt a special belt from Hangzhou Chenglinfang?"

Murong Wan looked down at her waist, nodded and said, "That's right, Dad brought it for me in Hangzhou."

Yun Chenxiao said: "Yes! Chenglinfang is famous for having the best silk brocades and satins in the whole country. I also have a few belts like this, so it is clear. Every belt in Chenglinfang is of the same specification. Two feet three inches long, believe it or not?"

Murong Wan frowned and said, "So what?"

Yun Chen Xiaoxuan raised his eyebrows, looked at Murong Wan and said, "How? I want to measure the length with your belt! Do you understand?"

Murong Wan stumbled and pouted, she gave Yun Chenxiao a blank look, she had no choice but to untie her belt resentfully, and handed it to Yun Chenxiao.Yun Chenxiao bowed his hands in thanks, picked up one end of the belt and stood it where he stood, then threw the other end to Murong Wan and said, "Sister, you take that end and pull it to the southeast." After saying that, she stretched out her finger Refers to the southeast direction.

Murong Wan followed her words, and it was only then that she suddenly realized in her heart that what Yun Chenxiao said about delaying time meant that the direction of the sun when it was born was due east.In this way, Bafang will naturally understand.But once the sun rises again, the position will change.When Murong Wan thought of this, she also smirked and laughed for no reason.

The two cooperated with each other and used the belt as a ruler to measure the distance of two feet and three feet.Yun Chenxiao hastily stopped, wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and said, "Hehe, this is here..." The smile on his face flashed as he spoke, and then he calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Let me do the math." Calculate..." So he picked up a piece of bricks and tiles, and performed calculations on the open space.

Murong Wan squatted down to take a look, but saw that Yun Chenxiao was actually calculating the "Guitian" (triangle) problem, and it looked like "Pythagorean Inner Circle" (the inscribed circle of a right-angled triangle), but it didn't look like it.Although Murong Wan's family is well-educated and proficient in mathematics and science, she herself is tired of these things, and was forced by Murong Guang to learn some superficial things.At first, Yun Chenxiao thought that she could understand a little bit of the calculations, but the more she got to the end, the more she couldn't understand, so she simply stopped looking at her calculation problems, and stared blankly at the expression on her face.

She looked at it for a while, and saw Yun Chenxiao smiled "haha" and said, "Hey, it's right here!" She took the belt to measure for a while, stood on the ground, but frowned again: "The location is I found it, alas, it’s a pity that I came out in such a hurry that I didn’t bring a shovel.”

Murong Wan was puzzled, "Why do you need a shovel again?"

"Dig the soil! I'm going down the mountain this time to dig the soil!" Yun Chenxiao squatted aside sullenly with his hands on his hands, and said like a discouraged bag: "It's good this time, it took a long time, but it didn't work." It’s a return without success!”

Murong Wan smiled sweetly and said, "Digging is not easy? Let me try."

Yun Chenxiao was slightly taken aback, and looked at Murong Wan.But seeing that there was a wooden stick in her hand at some point, Yun Chenxiao was about to ask a question, Murong Wan suddenly gave a coquettish cry, held one end of the wooden stick in her hand, and inserted the other end into the soil on the ground.After a while, there was no movement.Yun Chenxiao didn't say a word, knowing that there must be a mystery in it.Sure enough, after a while, Murong Wan's clothes were airless, her pretty face turned pale, and a little white steam came out of her head, probably caused by the internal force.Then there was only a "bang", which seemed to be a giant explosion, and it was like thunder piercing through the sky, which was deafening.Yun Chenxiao didn't have time to retreat, his eyes were already dim, his cheeks were sore, and the soil was filled with yellow sand, like sharp swords stabbing Yun Chenxiao all over his body.

Yun Chenxiao groaned secretly in her heart, but felt a heat on the back of her hand, and a delicate little hand of Wen Yu didn't know when to attach it.Yun Chenxiao didn't have time to think about it, that person took advantage of the situation, Yun Chenxiao lightened up and was pulled up.When I opened my eyes to look again, I was already far away from the dust, and the beautiful woman beside me was wide-eyed, panting and coquettishly said: "Big idiot, you know that I want to use my kung fu, but you don't know how to avoid it?"

Yun Chenxiao shook the dust off his clothes and said, "Damn girl, why don't you tell me in advance if you have this ability?"

Murong Wan was reaching out to pat the dust on Yun Chenxiao's back, and when she heard her calling herself a "dead girl", she felt slightly annoyed, and slammed Yun Chenxiao hard on the back, angrily saying: "I helped you! Are you blaming me for being busy?"

Yun Chenxiao felt a pain in his back, and felt miserable, so he could only forced a smile and said: "No, no, thank you sister! Hey, where did you get that wooden stick?"

Murong Wan saw the painful expression on Yun Chenxiao's face, and she regretted that she had shot too hard. In order to cover up her mood, she hurriedly replied: "That is my wooden door's magical weapon, what kind of wooden stick? It is called 'Pozhenzi' ', when Patriarch Zhilan created it, it was specially used to break the formation. Hey, it’s just that I’m not good at kung fu, and I can’t exert its power. It’s okay to dig a hole for you, but as for breaking the formation, I don’t need to talk about it.”

Yun Chenxiao saw that she was quite dejected as she spoke, so she smiled slightly, patted her on the shoulder and said, "Amazing! You can break ground for me, who in the world would dare to spy on you? Hehe , that's enough. If you're like that Minato girl, alas, that's going to be very bad..."

Murong Wan felt hot in her heart, and thought: "Yes, as long as I can help her, my kung fu will not be in vain." Thinking of this, the bit of self-abandonment just now disappeared, and she asked casually: "Shuimen? Xiaoyun, do you still know the sisters of Minato?"

Yun Chenxiao said with a smile: "I know each other, two of them. Hey, I forgot to ask you, one of them is called Shui Xinyou and the other is called Shui Zhihuan, do you know? I also know the big man from Huomen, Huo Heng Yang, you are from the same sect, so you are also your senior brother, right?"

Murong Wan's heart moved, and for some reason, she was a little flustered, forced a smile and said: "Senior Brother Huo, I have met. As for the fellow of the Water Gate you mentioned, I have only heard of it."

At this time the dust cleared, Yun Chenxiao waved his sleeves, pulled Murong Wan to run forward, only to see that a hole five or six feet deep had been dug there by Murong Wan's "broken moment".Yun Chenxiao raised her brows with joy, and praised while digging the soil: "Sister, you are so skillful! Hehe, oh, by the way, you said you've heard of Minato, but haven't seen it?"

Murong Wan nodded and said: "That's right, Shuimen has always regarded itself as noble, and doesn't have much contact with the other four schools, so I don't recognize it. But I have heard of Sister Shui Xinyou's name for a long time. I heard that although she started late, her comprehension is very good. Excellent, but a rare martial arts genius. Uncle Shuimen cherishes talents, and passed on her the unique water sleeve swordsmanship and residual ice and snow to her. Now Senior Sister Xinyou seems to be the leader of our younger generation of Wuxingmen , I really admire her, thinking that whenever I can, I can see the demeanor of Senior Sister Xinyou. And..." She hesitated a bit when she said this, glanced at Yun Chenxiao, and said softly: "People say Xinyou Senior Sister You is not only talented, but also a first-class beauty. Her beauty is the best in the world, and her beauty is unmatched by anyone. She is the embryo of an unborn beauty..."

Yun Chenxiao pondered for a while, and said to himself: "So this guy is quite capable, hmph, why is he so arrogant and overbearing?" Then he smiled at Murong Wan: "Sister, you don't have to admire her. Hey, your kung fu is not bad either. Oh, don't worry about Shui Xinyou. She is as fierce as a tigress, she can't wait to eat people, if you don't see her, it's better not to see her for the rest of your life!"

Murong Wan felt a little strange, and said, "Are you familiar with Senior Sister Xinyou?"

Yun Chenxiao thought of the unreasonable look in Shui Xinyou's eyes, so he snorted coldly, but didn't speak, and kept groping with his hands.Suddenly, his fingertips touched a hard object.Yun Chenxiao felt her heart beating faster, her blood boiling, and she said happily, "Good guy, I found you!" Immediately, with all his strength, he took out an iron box from the soil layer.

Murong Wan looked intently, and saw that the box was covered in dark brown, she didn't know if it was the original color or it was stained by dust.It seems to be made of pure iron, square and square, not surprising.But Yun Chenxiao looked left and right, beating and beating, as if it were the most precious treasure in the world.

Murong Wan asked: "What is this thing? Did you come here on purpose to dig this thing today?"

Yun Chenxiao lifted the box with some difficulty, looked at it against the sun for a long time, and thought, "I don't know what's in it, but the old monster still wants me to get it?" Feeling that there seemed to be engraved words on the iron box, he became more playful and took water to clean the surface of the box, but found that the textures on it were not words, but strange symbols.There are horizontal and vertical, straight and curved, and things that don't look like four.Yun Chenxiao frowned greatly, even though she was extremely alert, she couldn't figure out the mystery of the iron box for a while.Just as he was in a trance, his heart skipped a beat when he suddenly remembered something, and he said silently: "Xue Daxia, Jingshan, Heshibi, Yandang Mountain, Chuanguo Yuxi, the mysterious iron box... Could it be... Could it be..."

Although Yun Chenxiao wasn't sure what was in the iron box, she felt vaguely that there must be some connection among them.But what is the connection?Maybe, that weird old man knew?Maybe God only knows.

"Hey..." Yun Chenxiao sighed softly, and thought: "I'm in danger now, and I'm still fantasizing about these things? Hurry up and help that old monster do things well, so I can save my life!" , picked up the box, and asked: "Sister Wan'er, is there a 'Qing Ya Xuan' in Yueqing City?"

Outside the Qing Yaxuan, Yun Chenxiao was dressed in a bright robe with a jade belt and a high crown, dressed like a gentleman of a noble family, taking advantage of his white jade face, elegant temperament, handsome and handsome, like a tree facing the wind.With one hand behind her back, she lightly squeezed a landscape painting folding fan with the other, gently fanning the wind, and looked at Qing Yaxuan with a smile.Murong Wan was behind her, also wearing a splendid dress and a long silk gown, the two of them stood together, just like Li and Guo's fairy boat, swimming together.The eyes of others fell on the two of them from time to time.

Yun Chenxiao said with a smile: "Sister, have you seen it? This is what people rely on their clothes and horses on their saddles. Let's come to Qingyaxuan, how can we not wear noble clothes? I'm afraid people won't even let us in."

Murong Wan still had crescent eyebrows, and said: "Why did you come here?"

Yun Chenxiao smiled slightly, and whispered in her ear: "Serious business! Go, go in!" After saying that, she lightly lifted her robe, and was about to go in, but she heard the voice of a person behind her like a mosquito, almost inaudible, as if hesitating Yu whispered, "Sister..."

Yun Chenxiao felt that the voice was familiar, so she turned her head to look, and she saw a beautiful woman in green dress and emerald skirt standing shyly behind her, crossing her fingers, and carefully looked at Yun Chenxiao with her eyelids raised.

Yun Chenxiao was overjoyed and said: "Ha, Miss Shui, I knew it was you. Hey, why did you come to Yueqing too?" While talking, she had already greeted her, and then she tiptoed around and looked behind the girl for a long time. She smiled mischievously, and said furtively in her ear: "Where's your tigress' senior sister? Why isn't she here?"

The woman in the emerald skirt was Shui Zhihuan, she saw that Yun Chenxiao still remembered herself, she felt relieved, pulled Yun Chenxiao's sleeve, and said falteringly: "Sister, do you want to enter this Qing Yaxuan? "

Yun Chenxiao nodded, and was about to speak, but Murong Wan let out a "huh" from the side, which seemed a little strange.Yun Chenxiao looked sideways and said with a smile: "Sister Wan'er, this is the Shui Zhihuan I told you about, your fellow disciples."

Murong Wan went up to welcome her, but before she could speak, Shui Zhihuan had already greeted her with a blessing, and said politely: "You are Murong Wan, Senior Sister Murong, right? I heard that my teacher mentioned her name earlier, but I have never had a chance to meet her. Today I am so honored to see you, my next..."

"Miss Shui!" Yun Chenxiao yelled helplessly, and said, "Where do you get so much courtesy? We are all our own people, don't be strangers..."

Shui Zhihuan was stunned for a moment, and said silently: "One of my own? Elder sister, then you..."

On the other hand, Murong Wan smiled, blushed a little embarrassedly and said, "Junior Sister Shui has won the prize. Uncle Shui Ling still knows a junior like me, I'm really ashamed..."

Yun Chenxiao glanced at Murong Wan impatiently, and said, "Sister Wan'er, why do you have so many routines? Let's quickly enter this Qing Yaxuan, so we can leave after finishing our business."

Murong Wan nodded in agreement, but Shui Zhihuan still held Yun Chenxiao's sleeve tightly, and said anxiously and pleadingly in his tone: "Sister, take me in too. I...I can't find it." Senior Sister is gone. Senior Sister has been in for a long time, but she just didn’t come out. Before she left, she urged me to not let me in, but...but..."

Yun Chenxiao was originally too busy to take care of herself, but after hearing this, she couldn't help feeling a little worried deep in her heart, but the thought flashed by, and she hurriedly changed her mind: "That Shui Xinyou is so powerful, who can still be trapped?" Is she? Could it be that she is also in trouble? Well, maybe there is a good show to watch!" Seeing Shui Zhihuan's pitiful look again, his heart felt hot, he patted his chest and smiled: "It's easy to talk, isn't it just to find yours? Sister Tigress? Leave it to me!"

Murong Wan heard Yun Chenxiao's unrestrained speech, fearing that Shui Zhihuan would lose face, she quietly poked Yun Chenxiao in the back a few times, Yun Chenxiao didn't know what she meant, so she just smiled and said: "No Get in the way, just talk about it! Anyway, she's not here, is she, Miss Shui?"

Shui Zhihuan smiled slightly, and said: "Actually, Senior Sister is not fierce at all. But for some reason, when you two meet, she becomes very angry."

Yun Chenxiao stuck out her tongue and waved her hands, and walked into the Qing Yaxuan.Shui Zhihuan and Murong Wan followed closely behind.The three of them were all well-dressed and handsome. The clerk was originally a person who watched people order dishes, and he thought it was a distinguished guest, so he hurried to show his hospitality.

Yun Chenxiao didn't pay attention to so much, and asked right away: "Where's your boss here? Tell him to come out!"

The little girl didn't want Yun Chenxiao to be so arrogant, so she couldn't help being taken aback, but still said with a smile: "Guest officer, wait a moment, our boss has some trivial matters..."

Shui Zhihuan asked anxiously: "Your boss, are you with a woman in white?"

The waiter took a look at Shui Zhihuan, and replied: "That's right. The lady in white has entered the third floor since this morning, and hasn't come out until now."

After hearing this, Shui Zhihuan already showed worry, and was about to speak again, but Yun Chenxiao stopped her, and smiled at the shop waiter: "You Qingyaxuan is a bit weird, isn't it a simple teahouse? Hey, I heard that there are conditions to see your boss?"

The shop waiter nodded and said: "That's right. If the guest officer comes to see our boss, it's still the old rule. First, drink a cup of tea in the private room on the second floor, listen to a song, and start from the first level. If you pass the previous Wuguan, our boss will see you. If you have any difficulties, the boss will help you solve them."

Yun Chenxiao thought: "That weird old man is really right. But I don't know the origin of this boss, so he insisted on opening this iron box. I don't believe in evil, so why can't I open it? Well, then The tigress is still inside, hey, she's at ease, what's the point of leaving her junior sister outside? Okay, isn't it just passing the test? I want to see what's going on here!" When she thought of this, she actually started a competition. Xin, regardless of the strange old man's instructions before leaving, replied in response: "Okay, please, brother, open a private room for us on the second floor, and I will start from the first level!"

The little girl saw Yun Chenxiao's extraordinary demeanor earlier, and when she heard her answer, she happily went to open the room.Yun Chenxiao frowned suddenly, pulled him back and asked in a low voice: "How long did it take that woman in white to pass the first five levels?"

Xiaoer smiled and said: "Guest officer, that Shui girl is an old friend of the boss, just go in directly, there is no need to go through the customs."

Yun Chenxiao glanced at the upstairs angrily, and muttered: "Go through the back door, wait a minute and I'll beat you to death!"

The author has something to say:

The recent final exam, even slower. . .

Everyone has to wait longer.
