Clouds and Waters

Outsiders rarely set foot in Tangjiabao, known for its ingenious mechanisms, and even if there were one or two trespassers, they would never return.Therefore, no one in Jianghu knows what is the mystery of this Tangjiabao and how ingenious its layout is.At this time, Yun Chenxiao and Shui Xinyou, led by two disciples of the Tang Sect, were wandering around. , There are peasant women who weave and tailor clothes with silkworms, children with bamboo horses and green plums, and old people who lean on sticks and firewood doors.These people seemed to be familiar with each other, and their laughter and laughter could be heard from time to time, and some people knew the two Tangmen disciples, and came over to greet them with a smile: "Yaoer, where did you find the two handsome dolls?" Tang Sect disciple just smiled and nodded without answering.Traveling to the next village, there are acquaintances who either make jokes or invite them with chicken millet, but the two disciples politely decline them.

It was almost evening, and the moon was just beginning to rise.Tangjiabao under the curling smoke is like a peach blossom garden isolated from the world, quiet and stable.The path paved with bluestone slabs is winding and deep, and it seems to never end.Although it is an inaccessible secret place of the Tang Sect, because of her mother, Yun Chenxiao feels that she has been in close contact with this place for a long time, and feels like old friends at first sight.

Shui Xinyou is completely different from her, the Tangjiabao in her eyes is another scene.At this time, the sky is dim, the moon cage is cold and smoky, and the mysterious atmosphere is heavier.The lights that appear and disappear in the distance, look closer and further away, like ghostly ghosts, wandering around the body.The Qingshi road is deep and narrow, and I don't know where it leads.The ancient courtyard is flying like wings, as if it is about to break through the sky.The white tiles and blue bricks are set against the dead gray sky and the blue and black distant mountains as the background, and the twilight clouds are sinking and depressing, which outlines a cold and gloomy state, which is not like the world.Shui Xinyou shivered subconsciously, and leaned closer to Yun Chenxiao.Yun Chenxiao patted her shoulder reassuringly, and clasped his fingers tightly with her.

The four of them, two in front and two behind, walked for a long time on the bluestone road.The two Tangmen disciples stopped suddenly, pointed their halberds at the front, and said respectfully: "Your honored guest, the head's private residence is in front of you. Please wait a moment, honored guest."

The two looked around, but saw a slightly larger house at the end of the path.The door is not big, the threshold is not high, it seems ordinary, but Shui Xinyou said in surprise: "This house is really boldly built."

Yun Chenxiao looked at it for a while, but couldn't see any clues, and asked in confusion, "What's so bold about it? Why didn't I see it?"

Shui Xinyou pulled her sleeves, and whispered: "This house is facing the main road, and the evil spirit is so strong, the master is not afraid of bad luck?"

Yun Chenxiao suddenly smiled and said: "When did You'er study this theory of geography? The theory of the Yangzhai and Yinzhai is too vague, if you don't believe it, you don't know it."

The conversation between the two was overheard by another disciple of the Tang Sect who was leading the way, and he said with a smile: "This distinguished guest doesn't know something. This house had several lives in the past, and it is what people call a 'haunted house'. There are often rumors of ghosts, so no one dared to live in Tangjiabao. Later, the head master felt that it was a pity that the house was deserted, and also saw that it was unusually cool in summer, so he asked people to clean it up and use it to cool off the heat. It is also the head of the sect, the grand master, who is full of energy, and there has been no public case in this house since then. After the master took over as the head, he was happy and pure, so he used this place as his place for retreat and practice. He hid for seven or eight days out of ten. Cleaned up here."

Shui Xinyou was horrified at the side, and muttered: "This head is also big-hearted, it's fine if Qingxiu doesn't choose a blessed place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, what the hell are you doing in this house where people have died?"

Yun Chenxiao was about to answer, but saw that the disciple who had knocked on the door to deliver a message had bowed back, walked up to the two of them and said, "Master, invite two distinguished guests to enter." After hesitating for a moment, he said: "Whoever enters the door, please come in." Anyone in a private residence must be searched first. Two distinguished guests..."

"Wait a minute!" Tang Xiaohan came out like a ghost and said, "The two of them are distinguished, and they are the guests of Master, so you dare to search them at will?" He said, pulling Yun Shui and the other two to his side, and said : "The two distinguished guests are daughters, so let me take care of it."

Don't those two disciples know that clouds and water are precious, at this time Tang Xiaohan is doing the work, and they are also happy to be free, so they bowed to Tang Xiaohan respectfully.

Tang Xiaohan led the two of them into the room and said, "It's late today, so you should rest first. I'll take you to see Master tomorrow morning." He then told Yun Chenxiao alone: ​​"You can't wait until you see Master. Don't say that you are that person's daughter, just say that you are an aide of Master Shui. My master doesn't like others to mention that person..."

Yun Chenxiao smiled bitterly in her heart: "I came to Tangjiabao to find my mother, how can I not reveal my identity?" But when she set off, she concealed the purpose of this trip from Tang Xiaohan, and only said that Shui Xinyou admired the prestige of the Tang family and wanted to see Tang Xiaohan. The head of the sect is graceful, and at this time, in order to make a lie, it is necessary for Vino to nod.

Tang Xiaohan was noisy for a while, and then went to rest.For a moment, only two Yunshui were left in the huge main room.Since Shui Xinyou stepped into Tangjiabao, she felt that the place was gloomy and lonely, full of weirdness everywhere.When Tang Xiaohan was there, she chattered endlessly, and she was quite popular. As soon as she left, the world suddenly became quiet, and only heard the cicadas singing and the dying leaves, and the stinging of the decaying grass, which was indescribably weird.Shui Xinyou thought about the words "haunted house" and "haunted" again, and felt more and more chilled, so he pulled Yun Chenxiao, who was out of his mind, and said: "It's getting late, let's take a rest."

The two of them came to Yuzhou City as soon as possible. The journey was dusty and there was no time to freshen up. Yun Chen gently brushed the water and said: "Wait for me to go out and ask someone to fetch a basin of hot water for you to freshen up." Walk.

Shui Xinyou hugged her tightly in a hurry, half coquettish and half annoyed: "Usually slovenly, what do you want to do with such trouble now!"

Yun Chenxiao turned around, hugged her back, and deliberately snatched her back, saying: "You'er is decisive in killing and attacking, and the courage of Ben Yu, Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without changing his face. Why do you believe in the ghosts and gods tonight? What a haunted house, Yin divisions, evil things, it’s all nonsense..."

Shui Xinyou knew that she was intentional, and bit Yun Chenxiao on the shoulder bitterly.Seeing her repeating her old tricks, Yun Chenxiao was in pain for a while, and was about to push her away, but she couldn't give up, so she hugged her firmly.After a while, Shui Xinyou pushed Yun Chenxiao's blouse away, saw the two rows of red tooth marks on her shoulders, and said with a smile: "If you talk too much, you will suffer again! I heard that dog blood is the most Exorcism."

It was still early at this time, but the weather was gloomy and the flying clouds were dim, so it seemed that the night was deep and the dew was heavy.Cloud and water are lying on the bed together, their eyes are facing each other, and they are talking gossip.Shui Xinyou only felt that the bedding was like iron, and the surrounding air was dense, like being in frost, so she folded herself into Yun Chenxiao's arms, and whispered: "It's cold..."

Yun Chenxiao took her hands and feet, pressed them against her chest and waist, wrapped her tightly, and asked, "Still cold?"

A sense of warmth came from all limbs.Just now I felt eerie, because the familiar elegant breath and calm heartbeat became no longer scary.The crouched body gradually stretched out, and the cold limbs gradually became hot.Shui Xinyou rubbed Yun Chenxiao's chin with her head, but didn't answer.Yun Chenxiao said to himself: "Although fire and water are incompatible, you should practice Huo Dazi's 'flame flying fire' move well. Among other things, it is enough to keep warm from the cold..."

"What are you practicing? Everything is possible with you." Hearing the man chatter, Shui Xinyou blurted out.She never thought that in the hinterland of Sichuan, in the small room of Tangjiabao with many institutions, her dependence and obsession with Yun Chenxiao would be so deep in the quagmire that she could not extricate herself.Thinking of this, Shui Xinyou secretly blushed with shame, but fortunately the night was dark, which completely concealed her shyness.She put her ear on Yun Chenxiao's left atrium, listened to An An's voice, and found that the rhythm was getting stronger, resting her palms on both hands, twisting Yun Chenxiao's cheek with a doting expression: "Does the wind move the flag?"

"The heart of the benevolent is moved." Yun Chenxiao answered honestly.

Shui Xinyou gave her a quick peck on the face, and said: "Qingxiu in the dream!"

Yun Chenxiao let out a "hmm", locked Shui Xinyou firmly, and fell into a deep sleep in a daze.

***

Nothing to say all night.Before they woke up the next day, someone knocked on the door to say hello.Yun Chenxiao felt quite bored, and managed to sleep soundly, but someone disturbed her clear dream.But thinking of the detainees, he got up helplessly, rubbed his sleepy eyes, flicked his clothes and went to open the door.I saw two pretty maids standing at the door, one was holding a comb, the other was holding a silver basin, and said respectfully: "Let's serve the two distinguished guests to wash in the morning."

Yun Chenxiao asked in astonishment: "Is this what your head ordered? Are you also disciples of the Tang Sect?"

The two servant girls did not answer, and went into the inner room.Shui Xinyou had already put on her clothes and got up, and the two of them helped her sweep her temples and hold her bun.After washing and washing, another servant brought breakfast, Yun Chenxiao and Shui Xinyou simply used it, and there was nothing else to do.

Late autumn is short, and it has come to Si time in a blink of an eye.There was a patter of rain outside the window, and Yun Chenxiao was bored indoors, so he deduced the math by himself.After half an hour, he still didn't hear the summons from the sect master, so he felt a little impatient, and said to Shui Xinyou: "Why don't we go out for a walk?"

Shui Xinyou nodded and said, "Alright."

So the two went out in the rain.The weirdness and gloom of last night have been dispelled by the day, and the air is mixed with rain, which is refreshing.Clouds and water are like flying swallows in light rain, skimming over the autumn grass in the pond, over the lingering smoke and clouds, just about to move forward, but a disciple of the Tang Sect stopped him and said, "Your guests, please stop. The front is the internal ban of the head of the sect. Do not enter."

Shui Xin strolled leisurely in the courtyard, and had no intention of going anywhere, and was not annoyed when being blocked, so she turned her head angrily, but said in shock: "What... what's going on?" Yun Chenxiao followed the sound, but saw the way he came. His face was completely changed, and what he saw in front of him was a completely unfamiliar scene.Yun Chenxiao was as surprised as Shui Xinyou, and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid this is Tangmen's exclusive Qimen Dunjia, a secret technique of mechanism. It is even more miraculous and illusory than what we saw in Sancaizhuang back then."

Seeing the surprised expressions of the two, the disciple of the Tang Sect smiled and said, "Have you lost your way? There are many forks in the road, and sometimes you can't tell them apart for a while."

As soon as the words were spoken, several disciples of the Tang Sect came out of the inner confinement in a file, and then dispersed, disappearing in an instant.Tang Xiaohan was the last one to come out, and when he met Yun Shui, he was not as warm as before, and said coldly: "Master wants to see you..."

Yun Chenxiao panicked, and the palms of his hands were faintly sweating.She had already thought that this mysterious head of the Tang Sect was very likely to be her long-lost mother.At that time, Yun Zhengting, a single soldier and light cavalry, poisoned a group of disciples of the Tang Sect, and quelled the disaster of the Tang Sect for the court.Tang Qianqiu abolished his martial arts and handed over the secret books and tokens of the head of the Tang sect. To appease Lin Qingying, Yun Zhengting gave her all these things.Later, Lin Qingying went away against the wind, and these cheat books and keepsakes also disappeared.Yun Chenxiao guessed that it was very likely that Lin Qingying would return to Shuzhong to reorganize the Tang Sect in order to make up for her fault.But now the head of the Tang Sect is acting in a secretive way, without seeing the beginning and the end, and even many disciples have not seen his true face.The reason why she is so mysterious is most likely the "instigator" Lin Qingying who was used by her husband back then.

Dazed in a daze, Shui Xinyou and Tang Xiaohan had already walked out of a stone's throw.Seeing that Yun Chenxiao didn't follow, Shui Xinyou suddenly looked back and said, "Puppy Yun, are you going to run away?" Yun Chenxiao shook his head, forgetting all his wishful thinking, and followed quickly superior.
