falling dust

The three of Yun Shi just walked to the shallow mulberry lake, and Jiang Lian told her that the two of them were washed up here that day, and then Yun Shi took a closer look, and saw a green grass field, and several unknown trees grew Among them, there are delicate white flowers blooming on the tree, and just a breeze blows the petals that are about to fall from the tree, and they float into a sparkling lake not far from the grass. At sunset, the afterglow of the sunset shines on the lake, making the lake look like a carved bronze mirror.

Yun Shi said with emotion: "This place really is a fairyland." She turned her head to Li You and asked, "I don't think the water in this lake has ever flowed. How did Jiang Lian and I get in here?"

Along the way, Li You has become familiar with her, and when she saw her asking, he said generously: "Of course there is a secret passage in the lake, but there is a huge stone to seal it. If it is not for the guidance of my people, anyone who tries to open the huge stone will drown in the secluded place." Tanli."

Yun Shi wondered: "Why do you have to drown in the secluded pool? If someone knows how to swallow water, then they don't need to drown."

Li You said with a smile: "It's not good to know how to swim. To open the giant stone gate, you have to dive into the bottom of the water. However, there is a kind of algae at the bottom of the Youtan Lake called Fulu. If anyone tries to dive into it, it will pull them to the bottom of the water and entangle them until nothing is there. live."

Yun Shihou said in fear: "There is such a terrible thing, if someone strays into it, wouldn't it be fatal?"

Li You explained: "No, the location of the Youtan is very remote, it is difficult to find its location if you don't take the Yellow Spring Road."

"The Road to the Underworld? Is it the long and dark passage I walked through when I came here?" Yun Shi asked.

Li You nodded and said, "Yes."

Jiang Lian looked at the golden lake in the distance and thought a lot. Li You just said that if it wasn't for my people, she would drown in the deep pool. In the deep pool, she clearly felt a touch of ice wrapped around her ankles, but why did she retreat later? ?What is the reason.

Seeing Jiang Lian looking at the lake in a daze, Yun Shi suddenly remembered that her snow deposit was still in the deep pool, so he couldn't help turning his head and asking Li You: "Miss Li, is there any way to get my sword back after it fell into the deep pool?"

Li You comforted him: "Don't worry about that, everyone in my clan is a good waterman, just find some people to open the stone gate and sneak into the secluded pool to find it for you."

Seeing that she said it easily, Yun Shi felt relieved, but seeing that Jiang Lian was still distracted, she took a few steps closer and asked softly, "What are you thinking?"

Jiang Lian was about to express his doubts when Li You, who was beside Jianyun, was looking at them, so he changed his words and shook his head, "It's nothing."

At this time, a gust of wind blew from across the lake, shattering the tranquility of the pool, and when a strange cloud suddenly appeared, while covering his face to block the blowing dust, he said to Li You in puzzlement: "Your clan is surrounded by mountains on all sides, why is this so?" Squall?"

Enduring the wind, Li You glanced at the opposite side with heavy brows and pondered for a moment, showing a sudden expression: "I actually forgot that today is the day of formation."

Yun Shi looked at her puzzledly and waited for her to finish. Seeing her puzzled eyes, Li You explained: "The Way of the Yellow Springs cannot be opened without the Phoenix Token, but Youtan is not as hidden as the Way of the Yellow Springs. Looking for it, 15 years ago, the patriarch asked Elder Yun Yi to set up a heavenly deterrent formation outside the pool, but this formation is very troublesome and requires Elder Yun Yi to perform a change every three months. So they moved to the depths of the forest on the other side of the lake."

The wind was extremely strong, and it lasted for two quarters of an hour. Yun Shi listened to Li You's explanation verbatim, and she praised: "The wind and thunder are indeed a strange array."

Seeing that she was not surprised but curious, Li You asked, "Aren't you surprised at all?"

Yun Shi wondered: "Why should I be surprised? I am no longer surprised by strange people and strange things in your clan, but I really want to meet this Elder Yun Yi, and I want to see how she developed such a profound formation technique."

Li You laughed out loud when he heard the words, Yun Shi looked at her suspiciously, Li You's mouth covered with his hand was still revealing her smile, and when she suppressed her smile and calmed down, she said: " Elder, she looks like she's only in her thirties, so you can call her an old man."

Yun Shi was stunned: "How can you achieve such an achievement at thirty?" In Yun Shi's mind, there was only one person who was extremely proficient in fighting skills at a young age. very.

Li You said: "The elder is over forty years old, but his face is very young."

Yun Shi nodded and said, "I see."

She turned to Jiang Lian and asked, "Why don't we go visit this elder?"

Before Jiang Lian could answer Li You, he rushed to say, "No, Elder Yun Yi doesn't like to be disturbed by others, besides, the patriarch once strictly stated that if there is no important matter, we should not disturb each other."

Yun Shi still didn't give up: "But the patriarch told me that I can move around freely in this clan, he didn't say that I can't go to the mountain forest opposite."

When Li You was in trouble, the patriarch treated this Yun very differently, and he never said where she could not go. She frowned and struggled for a long time without any result.

Seeing the doubtful expression on her face, Yun Shi knew that she was in trouble, so he tentatively said: "Why don't you go back, Jiang Lian and I will go and have a look, if the patriarch blames it, I can't blame you."

Li You refused: "No, if I don't dissuade you when I know it, then I will feel uneasy if you will be punished."

Yun Shi comforted: "It's okay, those who don't know are not guilty, the patriarch will not make things difficult for me if he thinks I don't know, don't worry, I won't go and have a look, if the elder doesn't welcome us out, I will never bother her .”

There are many things that I can't figure out here, Jiang Lian also wants to figure it out, and Yun Shi wants to find out why she is not.

Seeing that Li You couldn't stop dissuading them, and the patriarch treated the two of them as honored guests, she had no choice but to go back pretending to be deaf and dumb according to what Yun Shi said.

Opposite Qiansang Lake is a mountain forest bordering the surrounding mountains. The edge of the mountain is gentle and not as steep as the inside. The elder's mountain forest residence is located at the edge of the mountain forest. You can see it after walking half a minute into the forest .

Yun Shi originally thought that this elder who lived in seclusion would set up formations around her if she didn't like to be disturbed by others, but she was thinking too much. This elder seemed to trust her clansman very much, and traveled unimpeded all the way to the front of the mountain forest .

Shanlinju looks like a few wooden houses built with local materials. The front of the door is very flat, and the wooden piles left by the felled trees have been specially treated. The height of the knees must be used as a stool. Surrounded by emerald green, when Yunshi listened carefully, she could hear the sound of the mountain spring flowing slowly. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath of fresh air, then opened them suddenly and sighed: "I thought the scenery of Hengyou Town was extremely beautiful. I didn’t expect this place to be better.”

She turned her head to discuss with Jiang Lian: "It's better to wait, we and Sister Shang will live here in the future."

Seeing the hope in her eyes, Jiang Lian seemed to really like this place, and nodded lightly: "Miss Li just said that this elder doesn't like being disturbed by others, if you want to be her neighbor, she must be willing."

Yun Shi smiled warmly: "If the elder doesn't want to be neighbors, we can ask the patriarch to find another place."

"What are you doing here?" Lingling's clear voice was mixed with sharpness.

Yun Shi and Jiang Lian turned around together when they heard the sound, and saw a woman in a white shirt standing on the steps of the bamboo house. The woman seemed to have just bathed, with untied black hair hanging down her shoulders, the tail of her hair was still dripping, and she had a cool and delicate face She looked like a fairy in the backlight, also dressed in white, Yun Shi wore it elegantly, but she looked like a fairy, at this time she was holding a book in her left hand and was about to turn the page with her right hand, when she heard their voices, she was picking He looked at them with displeasure.

Yun Yi saw that the two people in front of the door thought they were sent by the clan to find her something, and saw that their behavior was casual, so there was a bit of sternness in the question.

Yun Shi saw that her complexion was not good and she was about to make amends, but she didn't expect that the woman looked up and saw Jiang Lian, and she was stunned, with a "crash", the book slipped from her hand, and because her right hand was still pinching a page, it was torn apart when it hit the ground When she got down, she didn't notice, she still looked at Jiang Lian.

"Jiang Lian?" Yun Yi called out tentatively, Jiang Lian frowned and looked forward, the woman under the door was as cold as the moon, her face was as delicate as the white lotus under the moon, she really looked no more than thirty, she looked puzzled Looking at Yun Yi, he asked silently.

Seeing the expression on her face, Yun Yi knew that she did not admit her mistake, and there seemed to be a sparkle in her eyes. She threw away half a page of the book in her hand, and excitedly walked over to hold Jiang Lian's hand hanging by her side. Jiang Lian said to her Without the slightest memory, the body that has been reluctant to be touched instinctively responded.

Seeing her holding her hands behind her back, Yun Yi was disappointed, but she still didn't give up and said: "Jiang Lian, I'm your mother, you don't know me anymore?"

The indifferent expression on Jiang Lian's face shattered at this sound. She looked at the gawking elder in front of her in surprise. The shock in her heart and the sudden affection caught her by surprise. The words "mother" and "family" have always been in her heart No idea, why didn't she be shocked by the sudden appearance of a highly respected woman claiming to be her mother at this time.

Jiang Lian had a lot of questions at this time, but he didn't want to ask any of them. He just looked at Yun Yi in surprise and asked her to speak out.

Yun Shi was also very shocked, but just saw her for the first time, the aura of that woman was somewhat similar to that of Jiang Lian, she did not expect to be of the same vein, she also looked at Yun Yi, wanting her to clear up the confusion.

Yun Yi wiped away the crystals in his eyes with one hand, and after recovering a bit, he asked cautiously: "You don't remember anything?"

Jiang Lian nodded, Yun Yi's eyes flashed with disappointment but she still said: "Grandfather sent you away out of necessity. He once said that I would never see you again in this life. Seeing you standing in front of me at this moment is really merciful." , your fate is too bad, God shouldn't torture you like this, I will have no regrets in my life when I see you back."

Yun Shi heard it like falling clouds, and she asked, "What's your clan's surname?"

Yun Yi said, "Naturally the surname is Jiang." Then he asked Jiang Lian, "You don't remember the Jiang family, but what else do you remember? The place, or who?"

Although Jiang Lian doubted whether it was true or not, he still replied, "I can't remember anything before I met Yunshi."

Yun Yi asked doubtfully, "Who is Yun Shi?"

Yun Shi only felt that Jiang Shi sounded very familiar, and when Yun Yi asked hurriedly, "It's me, I saw her in the rain in March."

There was pain in Yun Yi's eyes, his eyes lowered and he said sadly: "The original intention was to let you live your life safely, but it actually hurt you like this."

Jiang Lian wondered: "If you are my mother, why did the patriarch not say anything? He never told us that this is the Jiang family."

Yun Yi showed surprise: "Grandfather must be afraid that you will feel resentment in his heart, and he doesn't want you to think about it when he sees that you have forgotten it. He will not harm you."

Jiang Lian's tone was still puzzled: "Since you said that you were forced to do so, why should I feel resentful?"

Seeing her stern words, Yun Yi carefully looked at Jiang Lian's expression. Seeing her expression of indifference and suspicion, Yun Yi looked at Jiang Lian sadly, as if thinking about what to do. make her believe.

Yun Shi could see the look of sorrow in her eyes clearly, it was clearly not a fake, she pulled Jiang Lian's hand that was still behind her back to Yun Yi's hand, and Jiang Lian looked at her suspiciously, not understanding what she said What do you mean, Yun Shi said with a smile: "Since there is a mother who misses you so much, she should cherish it."

Jiang Lian saw that the smiling face she was looking at was as bright as the morning light, most of the doubts in his heart disappeared, and he let Yun Yi hold her hand. The white, soft and boneless hand was conveying the master's excitement at this time, slightly Trembling, at this moment she didn't want to doubt anymore.
