Qingguan Nightmare Shadow

The young man who spoke came out from behind the bookshelf, but what he held in his hand was not the book he had just found, but a sword.In Yunli's eyes, this young man's expression of tightly sealed lips and raised brows was already unbearable, what's more, when he walked between the three of them with a sword, he picked out three words between his teeth: "It's so noisy." As a result, Yun Li felt very unhappy, and couldn't help but stare at him without restraint.

The young man ignored Yunli, glanced at Mo Qing with that haughty look, then turned his head to Su Tong and said, "Brother Juegui, I won't listen to you when I go out to practice swords." Although his tone was cold, But from the fact that he ignored Yunli and Mo Qing and only told Su Tong where he was going, it can be said that he respected Su Tong.

Su Tong and Mo Qing were obviously used to this young man's character, they just watched him go out without speaking or nodding.

Yunli: "Practice sword?"

Su Tong said: "Xing Yin thinks that practicing swords can make people calm..." After a pause, he added: "Reading makes people restless." Yun Li couldn't understand, thinking about the young man's dismissive look, he laughed and said: " One sword and one book, one movement and one stillness, why did he reverse the two?"

"The 'quietness' and 'irritability' defined by Xing Yin are in the mind but not in the body." Su Tong explained, "The thoughts in the book are turbulent and impact the heart, so it is 'irritability'; when practicing swords, get rid of the miscellaneous or refined thoughts of others. , be alone with yourself in your heart, so 'quiet'."

Yun Li: "He said that?"

"No."

Mo Qing finally got himself out of the depression, and said: "Mr. Yunli, brother Xing Yin, he often said that practicing swords and studying quietly disturbs the mind. He has his own way of saying it. But he never explained it in detail, so we have to I guessed it... Well, I also think Brother Xing Yin probably meant what Brother Juegui said."

Yun Li held his chin, tapped his ear with his index finger: "Master Su, do you know that person so well?" There was something in his words, Su Tong pretended not to hear, and remained silent.Yun Li lowered his head to look for Su Tong's eyes, and said with a smile, "Then analyze and analyze, I've come to bother you over and over again, why?"

Mo Qing suddenly blushed, so red that Yun Li couldn't help noticing him: "What's wrong with you?" Mo Qing didn't know that he had a problem with showing his face all his life, and thought that he could confuse it by turning his face to the side; At this moment, being caught by a single glance, the blush on his face became even more noisy.Mo Qing shook his head again and again and said no, no, no, Yun Li's curiosity was aroused, how could he let him go, he really just looked at him without moving his eyes.

Scratching again and again, Mo Qing couldn't help it anymore, and stammered: "They said...they said that Mr. Yunli was in Mr. Su's room...hanging...that kind of painting." Yunli recalled for a moment, "Oh" said: "So?" Mo Qing: "So...that's why they said that Mr. Yunli has...has that kind of habit..." At the end, he waved his hand and said: "Oh, I didn't say this, Mr. Yunli, Mr. Su, don't be angry, don't be angry!"

Yun Li: "They?"

Mo Qing whispered: "It's the young masters of Yunjue's family..."

Yun Li said: "The word 'hobby' is too inelegant."

Mo Qing's face was still hot, he seemed to feel that he had pushed himself into a dangerous place, and he couldn't get out, so he said in a nasal voice anxiously: "Mr. Yunli, I have never seen those paintings before, I am Don't believe me!" Yun Li: "Haven't seen it?" Mo Qing shook his head like a rattle.Yunli: "Master Su, you didn't share it." Mo Qing: "..." Su Tong: "..."

"The term 'hobby' is indeed inelegant and not formal," Yun Li looked at Su Tong and said, "Well, the term 'orientation' is much more appropriate."

Mo Qing was startled, scratched his head and said nothing.

"Have you eaten yet?" Yun Li asked suddenly.

Mo Qing: "I've eaten it."

Yunli: "I haven't eaten yet, let's eat first." After finishing speaking, he rubbed his hands on Su Tong's head who was listening to his nonsense calmly, and told him that no matter if he was bitten by a dog or someone, he had to wipe it off. Medicine, otherwise it will not be beautiful to leave scars.He walked away as soon as he said, and when he left, he closed the study door for Su Tong and Mo Qing, and was about to turn around and wait for Yunyao to bring him a meal next door, when he suddenly thought of something and stepped out. I went through the gate of the academy and went to the bamboo forest.

Sure enough, the bamboo grove was rustling, under the cover of green branches, broken bamboo leaves were flying one after another, and the young man with the word "Xing Yin" was dancing his sword in the forest.Yunli found an old and strong bamboo to lean against, and watched him practice his sword.

Those who master the actual swordsmanship belong to the martial arts people. Ordinary people practice swords often to entertain themselves or to strengthen their bodies. Therefore, the so-called swordsmanship is spread among the people, and it is often difficult to escape the fate of being reduced to a juggling skill.However, Yun Li watched the young man wield the sword, and saw that the sword in his hand was rolling with fluorescent cold currents, and the wind of the blade was wrapped in a real killing intent, and there was a rain of bamboo leaves when he stabbed and slashed.

Suddenly, the young man swiped across with his sword, the blade didn't touch the ground at all, after the sound of breaking the wind, the air flow disturbed by the sword's force brought up several splashes of mud.In an instant, the edge of the sword turned sharply, the tip of the sword shifted, the air seemed to be compressed and materialized by a force, and it approached Yunli's nose in the direction pointed by the tip of the sword.

It turned out that the young man had already noticed that there were people nearby.

As the sword wind paved the surface, Yun Li raised his hand to turn it into green light. At the same time, he looked at the young man through the gap in the bamboo forest for a moment.The young man was full of repulsive aura. At this time, he lifted the hilt of his sword, cut off several pillars, and separated himself from Yunli with the staggered and fallen bamboo branches.

Yun Li smiled to the core, and made up his mind to fight this person.He threw out the green light and put aside the bamboo that blocked his view, and saw that the young man was preparing his moves, but was interrupted by Yun Li at this moment, he couldn't help but froze, and immediately retreated and said, "What are you trying to do?"

Yunli: "I appreciate your swordsmanship. Can't you?"

The young man said: "Mr. Yunli is a member of the immortal sect, why do you wrong your eyes and come here to see a set of sword skills that cannot be seen?"

Yun Li said: "So you know how to call people, I thought you didn't even know who I am."

The young man said: "How could I not know the word 'cloud' in the word 'yunjue'?"

Patting his waist, Yun Li called out "Broken Sword", then brushed away the fallen bamboo branches and walked in front of the young man.He looked like this, a normal person would think that he was going to compete, and the young man immediately stood in front of him with a horizontal sword, ready to break the move.Yun Li stood still, and asked, "How do I call you?"

"A single name with the word 'Ling'."

If the young man dared to be proud in front of him, Yun Li would be seven or eight points more proud than him, and immediately raised half of the corner of his mouth and said, "You said that your name is 'Ling', and I don't know you well, so I don't want to call you Ling. Brother and brother; I'm not your classmate, and I feel uncomfortable calling you by your name... You don't say your own family name, but you want me to use 'Lingling', 'Xiaoling', 'Ling'er' Can such nasty words call you good?"

The young man gritted his teeth: "My family name is Yuchi."

Yuchi order.

"Broken Sword" moved, and automatically turned to the sword held by the opponent, as if eager to try.

"Hey, we met for the first time, what are you thinking about making trouble?" Yun Li lowered his head and reprimanded "Po Jian", "Don't move yet." What happened over here, Yun Li had already carved sword marks on the bamboo poles behind him and himself respectively, then retracted the sword, turned and walked away.

The young man who stared at the two nicks and gritted his teeth was left behind.

Yun Li walked back to Su Tong's room, with a smile on his face unconsciously after taking revenge, and met Yun Yao who had just prepared a meal for him.Yun Yao put the wooden tray on the table, and said with a little surprise: "What's wrong with you?"

Yun Li suppressed her smile and coughed: "Su Tong is going to Beijing soon, why is she still with others at this time?"

Yun Yao handed out the porridge bowl and asked him to eat first: "Anyone else?"

"Mo Qing...and Yuchi Ling."

"There are three of Xiuzhu scholars who have passed the test this year. Since they want to enter Beijing together to discuss the classics and current affairs, it is natural." Yun Yao said, "Su Tong is such a big person, Yun Yun Li Jun, you who write a notebook, why do you still care about him like a child? If you say that the person in the fate book is still young, you are worried that he will be too much influenced by the people around him. Years, even you can't shake his heart and wishes, let alone a fellow student who walks on the same road as him?"

"Go to Beijing together?"

"Ah."

No wonder Mo Qing was so nervous when he made a mistake in Yunli's simulation. He must have imagined the horrible consequences of breaking the taboo in front of the real Emperor Jiahui.Uh, but he blushed shyly at every turn, Yun Li worried whether he would have the courage to say a complete sentence in front of his Holy Majesty.

Yun Li ate half a bowl of porridge, stopped, and asked again: "Who is Yu Chi Ling? He doesn't seem to have come to the academy with Mo Qing and the others."

Yun Yao said: "He came two years ago."

"He has an accent, and he doesn't sound like a bamboo repairer from Shuzhou... like a Chongzhou native."

The scholars in Yunjue Academy, as well as Si Ming Xiaoxian, who pretended to be a disciple of the Immortal Sect, all spoke the official dialect of Xia Guo.Since Xia Guo Mandarin is not their mother tongue, these people all have traces of deliberately correcting themselves when they speak.In contrast, Yuchiling spoke very smoothly, as if the words he used for communication today were the same as the words he was born with; because of this, he didn't pay attention to changing the parts in his voice that were actually at odds with official Chinese, and Yunli didn't listen to him much. In a word, but this point is still heard.

Chongzhou surrounds the capital city, and its dialect is slightly different from the Xia Guo official dialect based on the capital dialect, but the difference is very small. Yunli speculates that Yuchi Ling came from Chongzhou.

Yun Yao nodded and said, "Well, he is from Chongzhou."

Although Yunjue Academy is successful, it cannot be compared with the academies with profound heritage gathered around the capital and Chongzhou. As a native of Chongzhou, why does Yu Chiling look down on those academies and travel all the way to Shuzhou to repair bamboo?Seeing that Yunli was quite interested in Yuchi Ling, Yun Yao said: "He came for the 'Xianmen', and when he arrived, he straight to the point and said that he wanted to pay homage to a teacher and cultivate immortality... He was the only one when he came, and after a few In January, people from his family who came to look for him came and wanted to take him back, but he refused. Those people who looked like domestic servants saw that their young master ran away from home and didn't have a meal or sleep in the open. After a while, he went back to Chongzhou to report to his parents, and never came back after that.”

Yunli: "Does he want to cultivate immortality?"

Yun Yao said: "Isn't it? He ran all the way here by himself for this reason. I told him that the tasks of Yunjue's scholars and Xianmen's disciples are separate, and Xianmen's disciples only ask the scholars for teaching scriptures." , The exchange between the two sides does not include the mystical arts of the immortal sect, if you want to become a monk, you have to go to the famous mountain to ask for advice."

Yuchiling is still staying in Yunjue, so he must not have listened to what Yunyao said.

Yun Yao continued: "He said that he has never been to the famous mountains, but according to him, the monks of the immortal family in those places are 'sour and panic', saying that 'if you want to get started, you must be mortal'. His original words are' If the mortal world is destroyed, what is the use of the power of immortality, the way of longevity, and the profound principles? It is simply a useless statue to be born out of the world to cultivate immortals.' I will let him stay for the time being, and he will quietly follow the Shuzhou scholar After studying for a while, I stopped arguing about asking my teacher to cultivate immortality."

Yun Li: "Has he figured it out?"

Yun Yao smiled wryly: "I haven't finished yet. One day, I don't know what kind of words he got from the mouth of Siming Xiaoxian, who knew that I helped Su Tong form a golden pill, so he questioned me." There is nothing to explain this, I think that leading him into the immortal way is not against the rules of heaven and human ethics, since he is so stubborn, I agree to accept him as an 'introduction'." After a pause, Yun Yao turned around and said: "But many things depend on talent. Without talent, certain things cannot be forced. Not to mention the cultivation of spiritual power, he was stuck at the alchemy level at the very beginning, and it was impossible to go up."

"He didn't go back to Chongzhou?"

"He left without saying goodbye a year ago. We all thought he had gone back. I didn't know he hadn't gone back until he wrote a letter from his family to inquire about his recent situation." Yun Yao said, "Then I sent several secretary He ordered Xiaoxian to go to Chongzhou to report his disappearance, but after Si Ming Xiaoxian found Yuchi's house in the local area, he went back to Yunjue without seeing anyone." She stopped and asked Yunli if he wanted another bowl Congee, Yunli waved his hand to thank him and said no, she continued, "Yuchi is a famous family in Chongzhou, Siming Xiaoxian said that their young master disappeared in Yunjue and his whereabouts are unknown. Otherwise, Yunjue will be in great trouble gone."

Yun Li thought about Yi Yunyao's temperament, she would never be afraid of the so-called aristocratic family, and soon she heard her nonchalantly saying: "So what if you are famous, the young master can't be found, if I say you can't rely on Yun Jue, that's it." I can't blame Yun Jue. The little immortals who are in command don't dare to go again, so that's all, I don't believe that the people in Yuchi's mansion can do anything to me." Yun Yao sighed disappointedly as if she was expecting people from Yuchi's mansion to make trouble He took a deep breath and said, "After Yunjue didn't reply for a long time, Yuchi's family ordered someone to visit, but Yuchi ordered himself to come back one step ahead... Yunli Jun, where do you think he went?"

Yun Li didn't think too much, and said, "Looking for the martial arts sect."

Yunyao: "Yes. He was not willing to be rejected by the gods, and he was pretentious, so he turned to martial arts." There was helplessness in her words, but at the same time she did not hide her love for Yuchiling, " He has learned martial arts swordsmanship, and he is immersed in the scriptures again. He is only one place away from being able to stand side by side with Su Tong in the examination... Speaking of it, I think he is strong enough, and now I wish he stayed in Yunjue , I don’t want him to leave.” After that, he smiled sincerely.

Yunli: "I'm afraid he is too proud."

Yun Yao said: "Maybe Mr. Yunli is too proud."

“How come you see?”

Yun Yao smiled and said, "It can be seen everywhere."

Yun Li shrugged, let's not talk about it for now.

"But," Yun Yao said, "from the family tree of Yuchi's family, his pride has a long history. Does Mr. Yunli know what the people of Chongzhou call Yuchi's family?" Yunli shook his head slightly, and Yunyao said: " No. [-] family."

"There are countless champions in Yuchi's ancestors?"

"This 'champion scholar' is not that 'champion scholar'. As the saying goes, 360 lines lead to the top scholar; the 'champion scholar' of the Yuchi family belongs to this sentence. Tracing their family tree back, their clan members spread all over the line, The head of the family is full of elites from all walks of life. Now their head is the new prefect of Chongzhou, and Wei Chiling has an only son."

The ancestors are excellent, the father is excellent, and being a son is extremely precious in the family, and it is no wonder that the pressure is not too great because of the expectations of everyone.Yun Li thought for a while, and said: "According to Mr. Yun Yao, he chose the imperial examination because he wanted to be the number one scholar on the gold list?" Yun Yao said: "It must be. He secretly competed with Su Tong, We all know that. Even so, I see that Su Tong is the only peer he can look up to right now."

Yunli: "How old is he now?"

Yun Yao said: "Same age as Su Tong."

After pondering for a while, Yun Li suddenly laughed and said, "Then he must never surpass Su Tong." Yun Yao: "Because of the alchemy?"

Yunli: "Mr. Junyao, can a mortal man still grow when he reaches twenty?" Yunyao: "Well, maybe he won't, even if he grows, it won't be obvious." Yunli: "That's right. Well, he definitely has no chance."

Just now Yunli drew his sword on the two adjacent bamboos, the notches were as high as him and Yuchiling respectively.To a young man with a strong sense of superiority and competitiveness, the reality is bloody: the nick on Yuchiling's back is a full head shorter than the nick on Yunli's back.According to visual inspection, Yunli was sure to taunt Mo Qing about his height when he found Mo Qing, who was not tall.Yunli told Yunyao about it, and Yunyao said with a snort, "It must be enough for him to grouse for a while."

"Junyao-jun... Yunli-jun?"

A voice came from outside the half-open door.The two turned their heads, and they could see that it was Xu Zhen.Yunyao nodded to let him in, and asked him what was the matter, Xu Zhen said: "Someone at the gate of the academy said they were looking for Mr. Su Tong, Mr. Su... Uh, they hugged a chicken and said they wanted to send him off." Yunyao: "Send it to Su Tong." Chicken?" Xu Zhen nodded with a wry smile and said, "They claim to be relatives of Mr. Su, and they still want to see him after delivering the chicken."

Yun Li was puzzled, except for Cheng and his wife, Su Tong didn't have any relatives in this world.It sounds like the old couple Cheng is not the one who came. After all, the two old people have only been here before, so Xu Zhen should know each other.

Yun Yao: "What kind of person?"

Xu Zhenzhen wanted to describe that the sound of "cuckling" hens suddenly popped out at the door, which aroused a commotion among the young immortals and young scholars walking in the corridor.

"My chicken ran away, and I hate it for catching it! Wait? Wait, what are you waiting for? You have left me at the door for so long, is there any news from inside?! Are you trying to trick me? No? I say yes! If I don’t chase after my chicken, do I let you chase it to make soup?”
