Confidante Saisuke

Shangguan Wan'er returned to the Taoist temple first in a carriage, and Cui Shi and the others made an appointment with those who stayed by the river to go back to the city together from the Taoist temple.Everyone got out of the carriage and walked toward the temple happily.As soon as Fang entered the gate, there was the sound of a piano rushing towards his face.

It is normal for someone to play the piano in the Taoist temple. Sometimes it is the female Taoist priests, and sometimes it is the female relatives who live in the Taoist temple.It's just that the pieces they play are nothing more than "Flowing Water" and "Youlan", which are elegant and beautiful.But now the sound of the zither they heard was so fast and cramped that it was breathless.Shangguan Wan'er, Cui Shi and the others stopped moving forward, and the people behind also stopped fighting and listened to the sound of the piano together.The strings are clanging and powerful, as if they are pressed to the heart, and they seem to have the tension of an enemy sneaking in quietly in the dark.As the tune became more and more urgent, the enemy seemed to be getting closer and closer, and had already come to him, his heart was imprisoned in a small cage and almost suffocated.Suddenly, the melody was suddenly raised, and the murderous intent came down like lightning and thunder. Everyone just wanted to fight with all their strength, and at this moment the melody stopped abruptly.

Cui Shi spat out the breath held in his chest, and Cui Shi stretched out his hand to caress his forehead, with a thin layer of sweat, and turned to look at Shangguan Wan'er, who was also pale and nervous.Who is playing the piano?Also playing this kind of depressing and irritating tune.

At this time, a girl came out of the front room.I saw her black hair tied into a double-knife half-up bun, with a hollowed-out flying phoenix golden step in her head, wearing a pure white blouse, and a long indigo skirt underneath, the hem, cuffs and skirt are all embroidered The same color and peduncle lotus.The lotus steps moved lightly, the slender waist turned slightly, and the beautiful figure instantly captivated everyone's eyes and ears.

It's sister Jing!Shangguan Wan'er's eyes lit up, and she was about to go up to meet her. She didn't want Wen Tingyun to step forward earlier. "To be able to see such a beautiful woman in the temple today is really a blessing for three lives. Since we can meet each other, this is a destiny. I wonder if the girl would like to go to the temple with her students to drink tea and chat?"

Shangguan Wan'er looked at Wen Tingyun speechlessly.There was a slight smile on the corner of Xiao Jing's mouth, and he said lightly: "It's polite. It's just that there is something to do today, let's talk about it some other day." After speaking, he walked around Wen Tingyun and wanted to move forward.

Wen Tingyun was beaming with joy when he heard the sound of Yan Yuying from a beautiful woman, but when he saw Xiao Jing was about to go forward, he quickly reached out to stop him: "The student doesn't know the girl's name yet?"

Cui Shi shook his head.This girl is dressed luxuriously and has an extraordinary bearing, she is not an ordinary woman.Brother Feiqing is used to lingering in the flowers, but he didn't notice that he used the same way as before, I'm afraid it would be abrupt.Xiao Jing ignored him and smiled at Shangguan Wan'er: "Wan'er, it really is you."

Shangguan Wan'er also walked forward with a smile, and took her hand: "Sister Jing. Chang'an has been away for so many years, how has it been?" Cui Shi told her that Xiao Jing was a celebrity in front of the queen mother, and she was allowed to Not to mention discussing politics in the court, she was asked to review memorials for the Queen Mother.Xiao Jing had to meet the Queen Mother every day.Xiao Jing came here today, probably to take her back.

Xiao Jing smiled, and was about to answer, when Wen Tingyun came over again, seeing that Shangguan Wan'er and Xiao Jing knew each other well, she blamed her: "Miss Shangguan, since you know this girl, why don't you bring her to meet us?" Get together, how wonderful is it to have fun together?"

Xiao Jing was impatient for a long time, and she didn't turn her head when she heard Wen Tingyun's words, and said coldly: "This girl is not a firework bird, you'd better show some respect. Get out." He will also go to the minister's house to discuss matters, and he doesn't plan to stay here for a long time. He just heard that Shangguan Wan'er is here, and wonders why she is not in Yeting, so he came to check it out.Now seeing Shangguan Wan'er, she only planned to say a few words and leave.

Xiao Jing pulled Shangguan Wan'er and walked outside the temple.In desperation, Wen Tingyun reached out to pat Xiao Jing on the shoulder: "Hey, girl..." Before finishing speaking, Xiao Jing turned around suddenly, with sharp eyes, turned her palm over, turned her hand into a knife, and slashed at Wen Tingyun's neck.

"Keep people under my command." A figure flashed across the crowd, holding Xiao Jing's wrist with a sword.It turned out to be the swordsman they just met by the river, Ouyang Zhujian.Xiao Jing took a step back, sneered, and looked at the man: "I advise you not to mind your own business." Ouyang Zhuojian clasped his fists and saluted: "It is true that this brother offended the girl just now, but he is not guilty of death, and he is not guilty. Please raise your hand high, girl."

Xiao Jing sneered: "That's easy too. I see that you know kung fu too. That's fine. I'm dressed up today and it's not convenient for me to use force. Let's see the winner with one move. If you beat me with one move, I will forgive you." He won't die." Without waiting for Ouyang Zhujian to agree, he turned to Shangguan Wan'er: "Wan'er, please borrow a sword for me."

Shangguan Wan'er persuaded: "Forget it, sister Jing. Mr. Wen also knows his mistake, you should forgive him." She looked at Wen Tingyun standing beside him with a face of shame. It was pitiful enough, so I wanted to persuade Xiao Jing to stop.

Xiao Jing smiled: "Okay, then I will compete with you empty-handed." Shangguan Wan'er heard that, hurriedly stopped her, and ran to the back to find the master to borrow the sword.After a while, he came back with the words of the temple master, the Taoist temple is a place of pure cultivation, and he wants to compete outside.

Everyone followed Xiao Jing and Ouyang Zhujian to a flat ground outside Guanwai.Xiao Jing drew his sword and held a sword flower in his hand, seeing that Ouyang Zhujian was ready for battle, he smiled slightly: "Take the move."

Everyone didn't know martial arts, and Xiao Jing raised his sword to stab Ouyang Zhujian, and Ouyang Zhujian also raised his sword to meet him, then the figure flickered, and there was a sound of clanging, the two figures separated and stood up.When everyone looked again, Xiao Jing's complexion was gloomy, and Ouyang Zhujian's complexion was even worse. There was a long cut in the front of his robe from his chest to his ribs, exposing his inner shirt.

Xiao Jing arched his hands: "Your Excellency is a master of swordsmanship, and you have received Xiao Jing's sword unscathed. Xiao Jing is willing to gamble and admit defeat, and has nothing to say." After saying that, he threw down the sword and left.

Shangguan Wan'er was in a hurry, and trotted to catch up: "Sister Jing, didn't the queen mother ask you to come?"

Xiao Jing turned around to look at Shangguan Wan'er, and shook her head: "No. I heard the aunt in the clan talk about you, so I came here to take a look. Wan'er, I have something else to do, let's talk about it another day."

Shangguan Wan'er was extremely disappointed, she stood where she was, staring blankly at Xiao Jing walking down the hill, getting into a carriage and leaving.Back among the crowd, Ouyang Zhujian also left.Everyone talked about it, Ouyang Zhujian is also a hero with a strong voice, and today he was defeated by a girl with one move, which is really strange.Some people guessed that Ouyang Zhujian was also confused and lost.Some said that there are strong players among the strong, Ouyang Zhujian is not the best in the world after all, and it is not surprising that he lost.At the end, everyone asked about Shangguan Wan'er Xiao Jing's background.Shangguan Wan'er was distracted, she shook her head again and again, led them into the hall and returned to her room.

Three days later, Yu Xuanji came back.The spirit is high and the face is full of spring breeze.

Yu Xuanji is not the type of person who can hold back words, plus he wanted to confide in others, when Shangguan Wan'er asked, he smiled and said: "I got on the boat that day, and I hit it off with that person, and we had a good chat. , I didn’t feel like I forgot the time, so I just came back.” After finishing speaking, he whispered softly: “Since seeing a gentleman, Yunhu doesn’t like it?”

It turned out that he had found someone he liked.After hearing this, Shangguan Wan'er was also happy for Yu Xuanji, and hurriedly asked, "Who is he?"

Yu Xuanji tilted his body and leaned on the couch, and said with a smile: "His name is Cui Bohou, and he is a swordsman who specializes in killing corrupt officials. But he is not that kind of rude man. He can dance and sing "National Memorial." Yu Xuanji said Looking out of the window, "The most rare thing is that he understands my poems and my heart."

"Wan'er, do you know?" Yu Xuanji suddenly sat up and grabbed Shangguan Wan'er's hand, "I asked him why he became a knight-errant, and he said that he didn't like to be someone else's husband, and he didn't like being a court official. He doesn't like being a businessman, nor is he interested in being a general, he just wants to kill all the corrupt officials in the world."

Shangguan Wan'er also smiled: "His words match your previous ones very well. This is really a tacit understanding." In the past, she also asked Yu Xuanji why she became a female Taoist priest.Yu Xuanji said at the time that she didn't like being a wife, a concubine, a prostitute, a nun, and she couldn't bear her hair, so she had to be a Taoist priest.He asked again: "Where is he now? Why didn't he come back with you?"

Yu Xuanji's eyes darkened, and he lowered his eyelashes: "Let's go. He said that after killing the corrupt officials, he will come back to me, and then he will go back to the countryside with me."

From the next day, Yu Xuanji no longer drank and had fun day and night like before, or played the piano alone in the room, or went to Shangguan Wan'er to recite poems, or listened to the master's lectures.Seeing Yu Xuanji finally no longer associated with those frivolous and frivolous people, Shangguan Wan'er was very happy.She has always felt that Yu Xuanji is not the sensual person she appears to be on the surface, but that she is noble and self-restraining in her true nature.

More than a month passed like this.One day, Shangguan Wan'er went to a banquet to visit, and passed by Yu Xuanji's room, and saw her sitting alone with a gloomy expression in the mirror, so she went in.

"Wan'er, have you heard of it?" Yu Xuanji suddenly took the mirror into his arms, looked at Shangguan Wan'er with a surprised face, and said quietly, "Just touch the mirror lightly, and the person in your heart will listen Say what's on your mind."

Really?Shangguan Wan'er was dubious, looked at Yu Xuanji and took out the mirror to touch it lightly, feeling unhappy.Shangguan Wan'er knew that she missed Cui Bohou in her heart, so she stretched out her hand to comfort her and said, "Sister Yu, he will come back. Like the queen mother, Mr. Cui is a person with great ambitions in his heart. Let's not worry, wait until they realize it." If you have ambition, you will come back to us.”

Yu Xuanji chuckled: "Do you know what I want to say to him? I will wait for him, not like this. Before he left, he told me that he would have fun with other women. Then why should I All alone for him?"

Shangguan Wan'er heard the words, slowly withdrew her hand, thought for a while, and persuaded: "Not for Mr. Cui, but for yourself, don't let those people touch casually. They are not worthy of you at all."

"Life is full of wine and must be drunk. How can a single drop ever reach Jiuquan." Yu Xuanji shook his head, "Life is short, enjoy yourself in time. Since he hugged him left and right, I didn't feel sorry for him even if I had fun. Let's not talk about it anymore," Yu Xuanji got up and took down the wine jug and cup from the shelf, filled the two cups with wine, and said, "Today, the temple master gave me a jar of jade powder. She said that taking five stone powder for 30 days can make you lose weight. Ruyan. After taking it for 49 days, you can ascend to immortality in the daytime. There is no hope of becoming immortal in the daytime, but I also heard that drinking jade powder will make people feel like immortals, Wan'er, would you like to drink a cup and try?"

Shangguan Wan'er shook her head, seeing that she couldn't be persuaded, she got up and left.
