But ask the people

Before leaving, Shen Chaosheng was always in a daze, looking at her and her luggage.

"If you come out of retreat and it happens to be snowing for the first time..."

Can you celebrate the new year with me again.

What Shen Chaosheng thought in his mind was that he didn't speak, but turned his eyes slightly, thinking of another thing.

"By the way, then Lu Mingxi, you and I may not be able to take care of you for the time being, I..."

Jiang Yi also thought of this, and told Shen Chaosheng: "I have entrusted Yunqingmen to let her study together, and she also has the same intention, asking if I can join Yunqingmen."

"but."

Jiang Yi is tying her hair. She washes her black hair and holds it in her hands. She bends her arms and wraps the hair band tightly for a few weeks. The broken hair on her forehead is a bit messy, but it does not cover the pair of righteous eyes and the faint corners of the eyebrows. .

After tying up her hair, she said: "Lu Mingxi has no way to contact you, and I communicate with me through Yunqingmen's sound transmission."

"She often greets you and me. If you are free, you might as well visit her more often."

After a long while of silence in the room, Shen Chaosheng said: "It's also good."

After a while, Jiang Yi was ready to go out, Shen Chaosheng subconsciously stood up, and found that the Shen family's carriages had not yet arrived, so he walked around the room and sat down again.

"Then let's see each other by fate." Shen Chaosheng's words were somewhat self-defeating.

"It's not fate." Jiang Yi corrected her.

"When I come out, I will see you."

……

After Jiang Yi and Shen Chaosheng bid farewell, they spent several days rushing back to Cangshan Mountain.

The trees in Cangshan Mountain are lush and lush, as in previous years.

She walked up the mountain road, all the way to the courtyard in her memory.

The courtyard was sunny, and the furnishings were stained with a layer of dust. It seemed that no one had cleaned them for a long time. At this time, it was past the season of pear blossoms, but there were still a few petals under the tree. There was a letter on the stone table next to it. .

Jiang Yi didn't see Jiang Zongyue, so he guessed that she might have gone down the mountain to swim again.

But why didn't he send a letter to tell himself this time, did he know that he was coming back?

She picked up the letter on the stone table and opened it, saw Jiang Zongyue's handwriting, and read it, but her heart was filled with panic.

……

Thousands of miles away, Shen Chaosheng opened the curtain, and the pennant outside the sedan chair was embroidered with the word Shen, and a group of people was rushing to the top.

Shen Chaosheng is wearing a cloud-made purple gold Wenzong uniform, a symbol of the status of the young suzerain. The side of the eyes is dotted with pearls and jade, coupled with those eyes with slanted tails, the beauty is beyond the reach of the country.

People always want to pay attention to her strength, and then comment on her appearance.

There is always a trade-off between the two.

Except for a few people.

As for Shen Chaosheng, the young suzerain master of the Shen clan, she has a great reputation, and what spreads all over the world is not her appearance or her strength, but her means.

However, the strong wind passing through the forest outside the sedan chair and the gloomy weather seemed to be telling the young suzerain.

What did she give up, and what did she gain.

The elder of the Shen family, Shen Rusheng, with a heavy voice, first glanced at Shen Chaosheng, and then slowly said: "Jiang Zongyue is always in the hands of Sizong, but it just happens to be in the Shen family."

Shen Zhuo smiled and jokingly said, "Jiang Yi went back to Cangshan to retreat, which is what those people wished."

Shen Chaosheng changed his usual calmness, and there was some disapproval in his eyes. She glanced at Shen Zhuo and signaled him to keep silent.

It's just that Shen Zhuo was always disrespectful, after bowing, he turned and left.

It was pouring rain outside the meeting hall, hitting the ground like thunder and drumming, Shen Chaosheng's heart sank further, his eyebrows were pressed between his brows, he caressed his little finger intentionally or unintentionally, stared for a long time before she stepped in.

All the tables and chairs in the meeting hall were moved outside. Shen Chaosheng did not stay in the hall. She stroked a groove somewhere in the wall, and a secret passage appeared in front of her eyes.

The secret passage leads deep, and the spiritual power gradually gathers, leading her down to the formation she is familiar with.

There was a person in the formation. She was leaning against the wall, with one leg bent and her hands on her lap. She looked very leisurely. When she heard the sound, she woke up and raised her eyes to see Shen Chaosheng who was looking at her.

A pair of amber eyes met Shen Chaosheng, and they froze for a long time.

"It's you." Jiang Zongyue took the lead and greeted Shen Chaosheng quite familiarly.

"You know me?" Shen Chaosheng's voice trembled through the formation.

This is the master Jiang Yi mentioned.

Jiang Zongyue was wearing tights that were easy to move, with bandages around his wrists, and many hidden weapons hanging around his waist. The soles of his boots were still a little muddy mixed with weeds that dried up and stuck to them.

However, there is a romantic line between her eyebrows and eyes, which does not show her a bit downcast.

"How could you be trapped in... such a low-level formation?"

It was the only time in Shen Chaosheng's life that he said that his formation was not good.

This was originally set up to tease the elders who were selected by the formation, and she didn't care much about it after they studied it for several months and modified it for practice.

The left and right are a confinement array, what kind of flowers can be found.

Unexpectedly, he really tied up a person that Shen Chao's business could not have imagined.

But rather than saying that she fell into the trap by mistake, it would be better to say that she was caught voluntarily.

"Young Master Shen, not everyone is as proficient in formations, divination, and strange arts as you are."

Her voice was a little hoarse, she hadn't drank water for a long time, and she seemed to be consumed by something, but her eyes were a little elegant. If Jiang Yi saw it, he would definitely say that she was a bit like Wen Yuzhi.

The kind of hiding from everyone around you, except that you know what you are doing, others will never be able to figure it out.

Shen Chaosheng quickly discovered the problem, and said very presumptuously: "If I let you out...you will not live long."

Jiang Zongyue glanced at her approvingly, without any rebuttal.

really.

Jiang Zongyue was just looking for some fun at the end of his life, Shen Chaosheng thought so.

It's just that she was still angry in her chest, and questioned dissatisfiedly.

"Then what about ginger?"

If Jiang Yiruo learns that her master died in the Shen family, then she...

How should she see her again.

Shen Chaosheng thought about it all the way, no matter how the copper coins were calculated, it pointed out the dead end of this hexagram.

She originally thought that it would be a big deal to let Jiang Zongyue leave Shangling after breaking the formation, no matter where he died, it would be fine, and don't get involved with herself.

As for the clan discipline and punishment, they will never really touch themselves.

But Shen Zhuo mentioned the situation to Shen Chaosheng on the road.

Jiang Zongyue was originally against the three families, and a sword seemed to open up the Milky Way. Everyone present was no match for her. It was not until the Shen family came that she suddenly collapsed due to exhaustion.

The Shen family has what Jiang Zongyue wants.

This will make her face the three families at the risk of being killed directly.

She won't leave easily.

But in Shen Chaosheng's eyes, it was Jiang Yi's nominal master who wanted Jiang Yi to break up with him.

Shen Chaosheng doesn't need to care about any of Jiang Zongyue's motives, he is just worried that it will affect Jiang Yi.

After all, she has never had a good impression of her predecessors.

Shen Chaosheng even thought about picking himself clean and going directly to Cangshan to wait for Jiang Yi to leave the customs.

It can be seen that after seeing Jiang Zongyue, she found that she couldn't do anything.

"She is my apprentice, what do you care about?"

Jiang Zongyue had a half-smile, and stared at Shen Chaosheng with some amusement.

"..."

Although it was very inappropriate, Shen Chaosheng seemed to see Jiang Zongyue's evil taste.

"Jiang Yi sent me a letter and never mentioned anyone else."

"You should know that she is cultivating the common people's way, why don't you stay away from her?"

"You still have to put your emotions into it, young master Shen, you want to harm her...?"

"Still, I want to satisfy your selfishness, and what the copper coin is a sign of—marriage fate."

Xu Shi had lived with the Demon Vein for a long time, and Jiang Zongyue's eyes were stained with a hint of coquettish color.

Shen Chaosheng suddenly felt cold hands and feet.

She has never dealt with Jiang Zongyue, and even though she has met countless elders inside and outside the sect, she has never been blocked so speechless.

Jiang Zongyue is sharp and restrained. It is rumored that she will report her flaws, but in fact she is not. One second she speaks politely, the next second she is like a knife, making people have to avoid it.

"As you said, I will not avoid Jiang Yi."

"It's you, senior. Your spiritual breath is about to run out, and you deliberately fell into their trap. If you want to die in the Shen family, is it just for her?"

"As for the hexagram, even if I have selfish intentions, I won't understand her righteous way."

"At that time, I will avoid her."

Shen Chaosheng clenched his fists in his sleeves, stood for a while after saying this, and finally waved his sleeves and left.

"Otherwise, if she saw it, it would be good."

Jiang Zongyue watched her leave, but chuckled lightly.

From a certain point of view, Shen Chaosheng is still very similar to himself, so they should not make the same mistakes again.

As soon as Shen Chao left, an unexpected person came in front of Jiang Zongyue.

"The little one is gone, what is the father doing here, what do you make an appointment with?"

In front of her was Shen Chengan, the patriarch of the Shen family who had not returned from traveling for many years.

Shen Chengan sighed: "You don't need to scare her."

He was holding a jug of wine in his hand, and gently put it in front of Jiang Zongyue.

"This jug of wine is left for you by her."

"she says."

"In the coming year, Jiang Zongyue will enter Shen's house and bring it to her."

Jiang Zongyue picked up the wine and snorted, but didn't respond.

"You have already left a letter for Jiang Yi."

"Little girl has the desire to be with your apprentice, but it may not be at the price of the common people's way."

"This year is not like previous years, and you know it yourself."

"And Jiang Yi may not give up the way of life because of Shen Chaosheng."

-

Cangshan.

After Jiang Yi finished reading the letter, he sat in silence for a whole day. When the sky was full of stars and the wind blew over the withered pear blossoms with a bit of coolness, Jiang Yi stood up again.

In the end, she put the black-handled sword on the stone table, looked at the entrance of the Yuntian Realm on the top of Cangshan Mountain, and walked in without a word.

Jiang Yitong has entered the Yuntian Realm three times in total, and this is the fourth time.

The first three times I went in, there were dark clouds and thunder rolling, which was the same as the advancement of the Tao learned by other monks.

This time it was different.

In front of her eyes are all things in the world, the sun, the moon, the mountains and rivers, the tall buildings and pavilions, the beasts and birds.

Butterflies pass through the leaves, and the breeze blows through the streams.

Only under Jiang Yi's feet was a blank space.

What she has to do is to dissipate everything in front of Zhou Tian.

Abandoning the heart of admiration is ruthless, and being silent without emotion is forgetting love.

Zhou Tian's realm, too forgetful.

-

late at night.

Holding the Guisheng Sword, Lu Mingxi followed the disciples in front of him to inspect the Yunqing Gate.

The disciple in front suddenly paused, then turned around and said to Lu Mingxi: "Junior Sister, someone is looking for you."

Lu Mingxi looked at the door jade worn on his waist, it was indeed faintly shiny, meaning that she was asked to go to the Yunqing Hall to meet the elder or the head of the sect.

When he said this, he trembled, Lu Mingxi asked puzzled: "What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing... I'm a little inconvenient, I'm going to ask... please ask for leave."

Lu Mingxi watched him look at a certain place from time to time in fear, his heart tightened, and he looked in the direction he glanced, but there was nothing.

She sighed, turned and left the large army, and was going to meet the person looking for her in Yunqing Hall.

Other people's door jades lit up, not going to the hall, but looking for their master's residence, only Lu Mingxi would come here.

Lu Mingxi didn't worship under any elders. If Gu Liansheng was in the sect, she would instruct one or two. Other than that, she mostly chooses to listen to kendo courses, or practice together with other disciples.

It is precisely because of this that her door jade has hardly been exposed, because no one will find someone through the door jade except Shizun.

The Yunqing Hall is spacious and empty, and most of the time it is the big meeting of the sect or the announcement of a new gate order will be chosen here. Except for the summary of every ten days, almost no one will come here, let alone at night.

At this time, the glazed lamp in the front door swayed slightly, illuminating the surroundings of the hall with incomparable light.

After Lu Mingxi entered the door, he saw Shen Chaosheng in a black and purple dress, sipping a cup of tea.

"Shen Chaosheng?" Lu Mingxi saw her with surprise in his eyes.

"It's not so big or small." Seeing her coming, Shen Chaosheng put down the teacup, sighed and said, "Obviously at that time, you are still willing to call me sister."

"..."

Lu Mingxi recalled that after he got Guisheng back then, he did whisper "Thank you sister" to Shen Chaosheng when Jiang Yi turned around.

At that time, Shen Chao didn't show much on his face, but he didn't expect to remember it so deeply.

"Forget it, I won't tease you."

Shen Chaosheng took out an ordinary iron sword out of nowhere, stood up, and while making moves towards Lu Mingxi, he said: "You have been studying for a few months, let me see how you have improved."

"!!"

Lu Mingxi's eyes widened, and he hurriedly rolled to the side, narrowly dodging this move, then straightened his expression, returned to the biochemical spirit, and began to deal with Shen Chaosheng's attack.

The sword light circulated in thousands of ways, and the two figures kept changing. Lu Mingxi held the sword in both hands and seriously opposed her, but Shen Chaosheng never raised his left hand. His right hand was flying the iron sword at random, and he attacked Lu Mingxi in all directions until he beat Jiang Shu in the nearby hall. Seeing that the movement came hurriedly, Nian Jue stopped the sword in front of the two of them and opened his mouth.

"Sect Master Shen, you agreed to visit Lu Mingxi, why did you suddenly start fighting?"

Shen Chaosheng immediately put away the sword, or directly tempered the sword in the air to dissipate the spiritual power, and then replied casually: "I just want to see how much she has learned, and now it seems—not bad."

"That's not enough to fight in the hall."

This is a palace built by their sect with years of savings. Every brick and tile has their painstaking efforts and monthly payments.

Lu Mingxi was taken aback when he heard Shen Chaosheng's comment, and then his eyes were filled with joy.

In the past few months, she has heard many rumors about Xiuxian Mountain, among which there are countless stories about Shen Chaosheng.

Thinking of this, she suddenly thought of another person, so she asked Shen Chaosheng: "Why didn't Sister Jiang Yi come?"

Shen Chaosheng paused with a smile on his face, and replied casually: "She is in retreat."

closed.

No wonder Shen Chaosheng came to see him.

……

The sun and the moon rotated countless times, Jiang Yi didn't know how long it took before the things around him began to dissipate.

At first, the stream stopped flowing, then the wind stopped, and then the vegetation became blank.

Time passed very slowly, but the daylight hanging above his head became more and more scorching, which even made Jiang Yi feel roaring.

She sat cross-legged in the open space, closing her eyes and exhaling.

A yin-yang butterfly flapped its wings and circled around Jiang Yi several times. Its butterfly wings were as clear as crystal, with one side white and the other purple, with different shapes. It hovered for a long time, and finally landed on Jiang Yi's left shoulder.

Jiang Yi seemed to have noticed something, and slowly opened his eyes.

The author has something to say:

There are a lot of fragments in this chapter, Jiang Zongyue's, Jiang Yi's, and Lu Mingxi's, but they happened at the same time, so after struggling for a long time, I still want to put them all together, it may seem a bit messy
