Salt woman and white lotus

At the beginning of Ying's cry, the snow and frost melted, and the ten miles of Fang Su's brocade was heavy.Xirui knows that spring has not yet awakened, and the corolla has already lost its dew and thickness.

In the middle of the night, the streams of Shuanghanfeng melted ice, and in the still cold spring night, the ears caught the noise of flowers blooming.That is the chord of life.

The climate of Suzhuang Palace is a bit colder than that of Yigu Mountain.Perhaps because of the high terrain, at the beginning of March, the ice and snow on the Shuanghan Peak finally melted, but the weather was still cold for a day or two from time to time.

Chi Zhongying yawned and walked out of the room, and saw that last night there was still a forest with empty branches, but this morning there were patches of bright and grand morning apricots blooming against the mist.

Apricot is different from ordinary flowers. It is neither red nor white, and has its own color.The dark fragrance floats in the forest, and the random flowers are alluring.

"Ah, what a coincidence, the flowers are blooming." Bai Yan came out of the room, and leaned on Chi Zhongying's shoulder in a daze, "It's a good day to go out today."

They had already planned to go out today, and now seeing such a scene, it was even more unbearable to spend a whole day in the bedroom.

During the month of living in Suzhuang Palace, the two visited many places intermittently.Bai Yan couldn't leave Suzhuang Palace for the time being. In order to pass the time, he didn't immediately introduce the layout of Suzhuang Palace to Chi Zhongying, but walked around slowly one by one every day.

Suzhuang Palace is divided into two parts, the palace inside the mountain and the village outside the mountain.

"Suzhuang" originally means to hold the simplicity and keep the truth, and uphold the right way.The Suzhuang Palace on the mountain is not big, and the number of people is not large. The total number of internal and external disciples is no more than a thousand; but the Suzhuang Palace outside the mountain is a huge city group, with a total of tens of millions of people.

The tens of millions of people outside the mountain, most of them have received the favor of Suzhuang Palace from their ancestors or themselves, so they spontaneously gathered outside the mountain gate, adhering to the rules of Suzhuang Palace.

Over the years, there are already many disciples from Suzhuang in the current Suzhuang Palace.

——Therefore, Baiyan was more or less resistant to going out.

People in Suzhuang always worshiped Suzhuang Palace, and people in Suzhuang Palace all worshiped the elder sister Baiyan.Passed down layer by layer, these people's pursuit of white salt has almost reached a point of madness.

Bai Mian didn't write about it in the book, and Bai Yan was ashamed to say it, so Chi Zhongying didn't find out about it until recently.

"I will take you to Zangshu Pavilion today. Although the Zangshu Pavilion in Suzhuang Palace is not as good as Baishu Sect and Xuanwen School, it is not far behind." During breakfast, Bai Yan told Chi Zhongying about today's arrangements, "There There are also many unique techniques that I have collected for Suzhuang Palace, you can pick and learn the ones you are interested in."

Chi Zhongying pinched her throat and learned, "Senior is really amazing——

"The eldest sister is our omnipotent myth!

"I will always love Senior Sister Baiyan!"

As soon as she heard the beginning, Bai Yan's face turned red; she hurriedly covered Chi Zhongying's mouth to prevent her from continuing, but she didn't expect that Chi Zhongying would directly switch to sound transmission, those words Bai Yan still heard it clearly.

Bai Yan let her go with embarrassment, as if nothing had happened, but Chi Zhongying moved closer and kissed Bai Yan's cheek lightly.

"you!"

"what's wrong?"

"Why are you getting more and more frivolous, always making fun of me like this." Bai Yan said a little depressed, "If you don't become a master, I will lose all dignity in your eyes?"

"Where, I just think you're cute when you're shy." Chi Zhongying said with a smile, "I'm not making fun of you, it's because I can't help myself."

Baiyan's face seemed to be getting redder.

It seemed that the repeated teasing last night and this morning made it a bit too much. This time, Baiyan didn't talk to her again until he went down the mountain.He blushed when he saw her, and it took him a while to get better.

The color of the flowers on the mountain road is getting stronger, and the more you go down the mountain, the more kinds of flowers are blooming.Peach blossoms have bloomed at the foot of the mountain, and petals of apricot and cherry blossoms are piled up in the river.

"This is called peach blossom in our side. It will bear peaches in July and August."

"Tangxian? But Tangxian doesn't grow on trees, and you can't eat the red fruit."

Chi Zhongying pinched her chin and thought for a while, then confirmed: "It seems that the difference is quite big."

Walking along the river of Suzhuang Palace to the mountain, the Zangshu Pavilion is built according to the mountain, and it looks magnificent from a distance.

Bai Yan led Chi Zhongying to the gate, and people kept coming in, "This is the library pavilion of Suzhuang Palace - Wuxi Pavilion. Here are the most precious top-notch exercises and miscellaneous learning in the world. You can find everything you want to learn here. This is the holy place for practitioners in the world."

"It seems that not only people from Suzhuang Palace come here?" Chi Zhongying noticed that the clothes of those people in the pavilion, some were the disciples' clothes of Suzhuang Palace, some were ordinary clothes, and some were clothes of other sects.

"Yes." Bai Yan affirmed, "Wuxi Pavilion is at the southernmost side of Suzhuang Palace. It has two entrances, front and back. Anyone who has been recognized in Suzhuang can enter Suzhuang Palace from the outward entrance. Cherish the pavilion to study."

Chi Zhongying thought for a while, "This seems to be a bit similar to the Baishu School you mentioned."

"It's more than a bit similar, it's exactly the same." Bai Yan said, "I feel that the more the technique is hidden, the harder it is to improve it, not to mention giving the technique to passers-by, which is also a kind of good relationship. How? It’s not a bad idea.”

The two entered the pavilion, and Chi Zhongying was eye-opened by the huge number of books listed. She said to Baiyan, "To be honest, it's a bit like a library."

"What is that? A place where calligraphy and painting are stored?"

"That's right. It is open to the public, and you can borrow books at will. At the same time, there are places where some videos, music, and pictures are stored. Some libraries also have a space for people to communicate. For example, I went to a library and they set up a Danqing Pavilion gives interested people a place to try calligraphy and painting."

"It's kind of like that."

As Bai Yan was speaking, there was a loud noise not far away—"Boom!"

Chi Zhongying was taken aback, "What's the sound! Did the bookshelf fall down?"

"No." Bai Yan led Chi Zhongying over, bypassing the layers of walls that cut off the perception of spiritual consciousness, and a martial arts field was revealed in front of Chi Zhongying's eyes.

Bai Yan introduced: "This is a place for monks who have learned some skills to compete. There are three such martial arts arenas in the whole Wuxi Pavilion, and there is also a workshop for forging and alchemy and a resting place. tea room."

At this moment, there are several people competing against each other in the huge martial arts arena, and two of them are competing with each other on cudgel skills: there is a bald head, who is solemn and majestic in offense and defense, while his opponent moves Ling Ran, obviously practicing killing sticks.

Chi Zhongying looked at it for a while, feeling a little itchy, but after thinking about it, she put down the idea of ​​playing.

"Since this place is similar to the library, you don't need to introduce anything. I'll just go and have a look around."

Bai Yan was a little puzzled, but let Chi Zhongying do it herself.

In Suzhuang Palace's Book Collection Pavilion, most of them are things that Bai Yan taught her.Chi Zhongying looked at the method of practice where she was, put them down, and followed the signs to the other side of Zangshu Pavilion.

The things stored here are not those spells and martial arts, but the humanities and social science knowledge of the cloud book world that few people pay attention to.

The origin of the world, the reason for the unity of the three worlds, the origin of the act of seeking Tao, the ten thousand years of history of Suzhuang Palace since its establishment...

One book after another records the past of this world that Chi Zhongying has never understood.

Chi Zhongying injected her spiritual consciousness into the navigation, found a copy of "Suzhuang Palace Rules", and read it.

Both Baiyan and Suyuan said that she doesn't need to be too restrained, but no matter what, since she is in Suzhuang Palace, it is necessary to figure out the rules here.

The rules of Suzhuang Palace are naturally not as outrageous as those of the Meizu, but the rules about the core disciples still made Chi Zhongying frown.

Core disciples are promoted from ordinary inner sect disciples. Except for the disciples who are directly recognized by heaven and earth, they can be crowned with the "White" Taoist name since entering the sect; the rest of the disciples can obtain this honor through the sect competition.

But Chi Zhongying discovered that this honor does not seem to have many substantial benefits, but their responsibilities will be dozens of times heavier than that of ordinary disciples.

——"Why do they make me have to be so lonely? Why can they live selfishly, but I have to sacrifice for this world again and again?..."

Chi Zhongying turned the "Suzhuang Palace Rules" to the end.This book is updated frequently, and a copy of the main members of Suzhuang Palace is attached at the end.

There are six core disciples of Suzhuang Palace in the previous generation. Bai Yan's master is Bai Xuening, who is a core disciple of the previous generation. She used to hold a cloud book, and Bai Mian also worshiped under her.According to the records in the book, the master-student relationship between the three of them ended in teaching.

However, Chi Zhongying remembered that Bai Yan called her master.

Bai Xuening died hundreds of years ago, no one knows exactly when, but one day, Bai Mian went to look for her and found her body in the retreat.

There must be something strange about this.Chi Zhongying made a note of it for the time being, and decided to find a chance to study it afterward.

Baiyan cried so much that day, it must not be easy.

Putting aside the matter of Bai Xuening, Chi Zhongying suddenly remembered the two core disciples she had never met.

Little Lolita White Tea and Neighbor Nuan Nan Baijiu.

In Baimian's book, although these two people don't appear often, they have distinct personalities and are very likable.

Almost all the core disciples of the previous generation of Suzhuang Palace died. This description is not in terms of quantity, but in terms of degree: all of their generation are in a dying situation.

Leaving aside the white noodles that have been missing for many years and the white salt that was almost swallowed; Suyuan was harmed by others and cannot use her spiritual power at will;

Baicha and Baijiu were under the tutelage of Bai Songhe and Song Jinnian respectively. Compared to other core disciples, their strength was weaker. They were severely injured in the war, and since then they have been asleep since then, and the hope of waking up has become increasingly slim.

The accident that happened to them undoubtedly aggravated Bai Yan's self-blame and pain.

But why no one explained it to her?Why does Baiyan want to be responsible for all this for granted?

Who put such shackles on Baiyan?

The author has something to say:

As I was writing, I forgot that there is a plot that I haven't written yet...

It's time to reclaim the foreshadowing of the first fifteen chapters.

Difficult to code in sub-zero sleet.I hate the pandemic.
