Cinderella: The Legend of Yunhua

After Lian Que calmed down a little, he caught a glimpse of Mo Yunhua's wet robe, recalled his gaffe, and suddenly felt ashamed.

Mo Yunhua was still holding Lian Que tightly in his arms with his hands stiff, his heart—had already been wrinkled by the tear-soaked skirts, and even beating became extremely clumsy.

The two held each other's minds and held each other for a whole night without saying a word. In the end, Lian Que couldn't help falling asleep because of his tired eyes.

At dawn the next day, and the warm sun rose eastward, Mo Yunhua patted Lian Que's back and whispered, "Lian'er, Lian'er?"

Lian Que woke up faintly, remembering what happened last night, hurriedly got out of Mo Yunhua's arms, tidied up his clothes in a panic, and said in a timid voice, "Master...last night...last night, the disciple was too sad...to be rude... "

Mo Yunhua turned his head to cover the color in his eyes, and said, "If you're all right, let's go now, and we can't delay the affairs of the door."

"Ah."

The two master and apprentice don't look at the island and hurried towards the door.

Because of what happened in the dream last night, Lian Que became more worried about Liu Yun.He searched hard all these years but failed, he was faintly worried that Liu Yun had suffered the pain of tearing apart his bones back then, he had a dream last night, and he had a stronger omen, thinking that Liu Yun must be injured and hid somewhere and refused to come out to meet him.He thought of the Haotian mirror that Bi Yao had mentioned before he left, and secretly vowed that when he returned to his master, he would definitely ask for the Haotian mirror, so he asked, "Does Master know about the Haotian mirror?"

"The Haotian Mirror is the treasure of the sect of the sect, why do you suddenly ask about this?" Mo Yunhua was slightly surprised. He didn't know where Lian Que knew about the Haotian Mirror. It is more than enough, but it has only been used a few times, and few people in the sect inquire about this precious mirror. It has been passed down to this day, and few of the younger generation of disciples know the origin of this precious mirror.

Lian Que considered it carefully, "I also occasionally heard that the Haotian Mirror can be used to observe the traces of all things in the world. This disciple wants to ask the master to lend me a use to find out where my father is!"

"The Haotian Mirror has been used several times to suppress the monster riots in the Southern Territory, but it has never been used lightly. How can I borrow it because of your personal relationship!"

Lian Que mourned, "But I really can't think of any other way."

"That won't work! Not to mention that the Haotian mirror can only be used to observe the fortune of the sect in times of crisis. Even if it is lent to you, it will take 30 years of real energy to activate the Haotian mirror. Your practice is getting worse. How many 30 years do you have to spend? And peeping at the fate of others has blocked the karmic cycle of heaven, and the heaven will surely bring catastrophe and retribution to you in the future."

Lian Que contradicted, "Last night I dreamed that my father was hurt because of me, and now I can't find him, how can I live in this world with peace of mind? If I can really find my father through the Haotian mirror, I would rather the catastrophe and the retribution be on me." body!"

Mo Yunhua said in a deep voice, "Nonsense! Have you forgotten what I taught you as a teacher? Do you think you borrowed the Haotian Mirror if you wanted to? The gate has never used this realm since the last time the demon disaster was quelled. How can I let you have a look?"

"Then I'll sneak over and take a peek!"

Mo Yunhua looked at Lian Que coldly, "You should die as soon as possible! Haotian Mirror Town is placed in the main hall of Wanren Peak, and Wanren Peak is not allowed to approach by ordinary people on weekdays. How do you sneak in?"

Literally at a loss for words, he looked at Mo Yunhua dejectedly, knowing that obtaining the Haotian Mirror is not something that can be achieved overnight.What Mo Yunhua said is right, the practice in the sect is the method of no desire, no desire means inaction, inaction means everything follows the law of nature, the law of heaven recurs, how could the head of the sect borrow the Haotian mirror to watch his father's whereabouts because of his personal interests?

Mo Yunhua saw that his disciple was hesitant, thoughtful, and reprimanded him, "Don't think about Haotian Jing again, the rules of the school are strict, if someone finds out that you have such delusional thoughts, even a teacher can't keep you!"

"Master..." Lian Que stared at Mo Yunhua sadly, "Daddy's kindness to me is as great as a mountain. If I abandon this kindness for the sake of being wise and safe, how can I maintain peace of mind in the future?"

"Don't bring this up again!" Mo Yunhua frowned coldly, showing no sympathy, "This method will not work at all, and you are going to a dead end! If you can't even protect yourself, how can you find your father? "

Mo Yunhua's decisiveness in this matter made Lian Que feel powerless, so he stopped talking and just followed Mo Yunhua silently all the way, but he was eager to find his father, and he was still secretly thinking about how to get close to the Haotian Mirror.

Mo Yunhua is also full of thoughts. He accidentally peeped into Lian Que's dream last night, so he can understand Lian Que's anxiety and worry, but... it is too dangerous to peek at the Haotian Mirror and touch the gate. , It takes 30 years to cultivate, it is small, and you have to suffer the punishment of the stick.Lian Que might not know the severity of the stick's responsibility, but how could he not?Balancing the two, in order to stabilize Lian Que and not easily put himself in danger, he had to reprimand Lian Que with the majesty of a teacher, so as to teach Lian Que to get rid of such thoughts.

All the way in silence, when the master and apprentice returned to the door, before they had time to rest, they received a hall master's order from Guan Pingtao, summoning all the inner disciples to the deacon hall to discuss matters.

The two went to the deacon's hall alone.

After more than 40 years of practicing Lian Que, this is the first time he has returned to the Deacon Hall.The Deacon Hall and Law Enforcement Hall are the authority in the sect, specializing in the management and punishment of the disciples in the sect, and they are good places that many inner sect disciples want to go to.Here, not only holding power, but also getting a lot of money from the family, it can be said that it is the best of both worlds.It's just that Mo Yunhua's temperament is plain, and he never pays attention to the power in the sect. If there is nothing important in the sect, he will practice alone, and seldom interacts with the deacon hall, so Lian Que is naturally neglected by others.

Both the Deacon Hall and the Law Enforcement Hall are located on Bixia Peak, another peak next to Wanren Peak.Bixia Peak is in the shadow of Wanren Peak, because Wanren Peak is so majestic that it blocks the sun and makes it difficult to see the sky. The clouds are scattered all day long, the mountains are dim, the sky is full of frost and cold, and the wind sounds from all sides.

There is an order in the door, and the disciples who come to Bixia Peak cannot fly in the sky to show respect. The two masters and apprentices descended from the clouds and hiked up the mountain. The cold air in the mountain added a little more solemnity to the place.

When we reached the top of the mountain, we saw more than a dozen magnificent palaces connected together. The two in the middle are the deacon hall and the law enforcement hall. It has its own dignity and dignity.

There is a huge square in front of the two halls. Mo Yunhua pointed to the square and said, "Firstly, this square is used for discussing affairs, and secondly, it is used to punish disciples who violated the rules. Do you understand?"

Lian Que understood Mo Yunhua's suggestion, his eyes darkened, and he didn't answer.

Mo Yunhua led Lian Que to continue walking into the hall of deacons.This deacon’s hall, if you say that the outer compartment is acceptable, the inside is even more astonishing. The main hall is about twenty feet high, and the roof is inlaid with moonstones, illuminating the main hall brightly. , Zhuang Yansenmiao.

A lot of people have already gathered in the hall. The Shangqing Gate has stood in the Eastern Region for more than 5000 years, and there are many disciples. This time, Guan Pingtao issued the hall master's order only to discuss the matter of returning to the ruins of the sea beast riot, and did not intend to disturb the high-ranking disciples in the sect. Therefore, only disciples with a cultivation base below Yuanying were summoned.

About half an hour later, people arrived one after another, standing in the hall seemed cramped, everyone went to the square, Guan Pingtao soon appeared on the square, and said with a majestic face, "Because of the ruins of the sea beast Because of the riots, the Deacon Hall has recently received several requests for help from other sects in the Eastern Region and the Northern Region. After many discussions with the elders in the sect, I came forward to call everyone here today, and I want to send forty disciples to form a group Form a suppression team and go to Guixu to inquire about the news of the sea beast riot."

A voice came from the crowd, "How to choose the manpower?"

Guan Pingtao said, "The current situation of Guixu is unclear. After repeated discussions in the deacon hall, it has been decided to send a suppression team composed of ten Jindan disciples and thirty Foundation Establishment disciples to go to Guixu to investigate the situation first. If the situation is critical, Let's discuss it again, what do you think?"

Everyone thought it was a good move.The Shangqing Sect is a giant in China. The last time the turmoil was led by the Shangqing Sect, the reappearance of the disaster in this return market, naturally bears the brunt of it, but the current situation is not clear, and it is a bit ostentatious to send Yuanying Zhenjun out suddenly. The style of the Qing sect is so great, and it is relatively moderate to send out a team composed of Jindan Daoist and Jiji disciples. On the one hand, it uses this to show the strength of the rising stars of the Shangqing sect, and on the other hand, it takes the opportunity to train the elite juniors in the sect. After a few years, these people will become the pillars of the door.

Everyone nodded and said hello.

Guan Pingtao went on to say, "The turmoil in Huihui Market is quite strange, and the leader also attaches great importance to it. After a suitable candidate is selected, he will hold a funeral ceremony at the top of Wanren Peak to see off the Qing Suppression Team. There are other rewards!"

Everyone was a little excited when they heard this, and someone asked, "May I ask Elder Guan, how did these forty disciples come about?"

Seeing everyone's support, Guan Pingtao was very satisfied, and replied with a smile, "For the forty candidates, first of all, you will recommend yourself. If the number is just right, you can directly form a team and start. After a while, we will conduct a competition among the Foundation Establishment and Jindan disciples to choose the best, what do you think?"

There was a lot of applause in the square, and everyone was eager to try.

Lian Que heard that he had obtained the qualification and had the opportunity to go to Wanren Peak. He secretly rejoiced that God had the virtue of being good at life, and given such an opportunity, he made up his mind - no matter what, he must obtain the qualification and take the opportunity to go to Wanren Peak to see it.

Mo Yunhua caught a glimpse of the resolute expression floating on Lian Que's face, he was upset, and sighed secretly.

Guan Pingtao raised his voice, "Since everyone is so supportive, let's start now. The foundation disciples are on the left and the Jindan disciples are on the right. Those who are interested in participating in this action, please come forward!"

As soon as Guan Pingtao finished speaking, the disciples in Pingzhong began to negotiate with their masters. Everyone was very optimistic about this operation. If they can perform well in this operation and get recognized by the sect, they may have some opportunities to enter in the future. The deacon's hall, becoming the head of the door, can be regarded as a great fortune.

Lian Que pondered for a long time, but finally felt that he couldn't hide it from Mo Yunhua, so he simply said bluntly, "Master, this disciple wants to join the suppression team!"

Mo Yunhua stared at Lian Que with a frosty face, and said via voice transmission, "Lian'er, you really want to participate in this operation to go to Guixu to exterminate sea beasts?"

Lian Que's heart was chilled by Mo Yunhua's cold eyes. He and Mo Yunhua had already developed a tacit understanding after being together for many years. If Mo Yunhua could hide the plan in his heart?This time, Mo Yunhua must have known his intentions, and must be dissatisfied with his next behavior, but the whereabouts of Guan Liuyun in this matter did not allow him to back down, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!"

Mo Yunhua saw his disciple speak with certainty and his expression was determined, knowing that his disciple would never change his mind in order to fulfill the kindness between father and son, his heart throbbed violently, he turned around, and said with difficulty, "Since you have made up your mind, why don't you change your mind?" Teacher... will not stop..."

Lian Que saw Mo Yunhua's struggle when he turned around, understood Mo Yunhua's heart to protect his disciples, and said in a deep voice, "Thank you...Master for fulfilling..."

After all, he didn't dare to turn his head back, and walked to the front with heavy steps, standing among the group of Jindan real people who planned to participate in this operation.

If he is lucky enough to be selected this time, when he reaches Wanren Peak, he will definitely sneak into the main hall to peek at the Haotian Mirror. If he is discovered at that time, it will be difficult. Hua, let out a long breath, and said to himself, "Master, the disciple's friendship is difficult to balance, and I will definitely disappoint you..."

I suddenly remembered a joke I often tell

Your wife and your mother fell into the water at the same time

Who should you save first?

Obviously it's just a joke, it can't be true

However, sometimes you do encounter many such dilemmas. After all, since it is a choice, it must be because there is no absolute advantage in each option, so you need to assess the situation. It depends on what you value more when you are doing multiple-choice questions, or what you care about. Or, some people, when choosing, they are more decisive and give up the side with more affection because there is an emotion that would rather bear me than him. The heart is closer, although it hurts more to let go, but in my heart I don’t want to feel sorry for the person who is farther away, because the person who loves you is as convenient as myself, and if you bear it, you will also blame yourself, which is better than outsiders. , Talking about a mess, am I too holy, talking so much nonsense?
