Chapter 176 Guarding the Tomb

Qin Yi came to the back of Ju Yunxiu's house for the first time.

Not far away is the cliff, the green grass between the back of the house and the cliff, there are a few tea trees, and the fragrance of flowers is tangy. At this time, the tip of the leaf is tender, and I don’t know if the green tea grows here...

There are reclining chairs on the grass, and there are books on the chairs, which seems to be a place for Ju Yunxiu to read and sleep in the afternoon.

Very small.

Qin Yi felt that if he put a parasol on it and matched it with sunglasses and coffee, it would be a villa lawn, a model of petty bourgeois life.

Going out from the back of the house is the Wangqing Pool. Qing Cha said that this is where the brushes are washed, but it doesn’t look dirty at all, and it doesn’t have the imagined black ink, and there are no various brushes and paints. On the contrary, it is clear to the bottom, there are pavilions of lotus leaves, and fish and shrimps flicker under the lotus leaves.

There is a rainbow floating on the pool, running from north to south, like a bridge deck.

Ju Yunxiu slowly stepped onto the rainbow.

Qin Yi stood at the back a little embarrassed: "I don't know how to soar, will I fall if I step on it?"

Ju Yunxiu let out a "puchi", looked back and smiled lightly: "Come up, you won't fall."

Qin Yi tried to step on it, but it was neither real nor real. He didn't know the material, and it felt a little dreamy to step on it.

"Is this...painted?"

"yes."

Ju Yunxiu responded briefly, and stood on the Hongqiao looking at the lotus leaves without saying a word.

Qin Yi walked slowly to the side, and heard Ju Yunxiu whisper: "This Hongqiao is the symbol of the beginning of my painting. It can make dead objects appear. Although it doesn't involve the soul, it already has infinite possibilities. Also From that moment on, Master passed on the sect to me with confidence."

So this is the meaning of a commemorative boudoir place? Ordinary people cannot come.

It is also a little Wenqing's daughter's heart.

Qin Yi stood beside her side by side, feeling the lingering fragrance from the tip of his nose, and said in a low voice, "Actually, a person like you...doesn't want to be a suzerain."

"It's not like you can get cheap and act good." Ju Yunxiu said: "Although I don't want to take on any important responsibilities of the sect, I must admit that the benefits of being the suzerain are great. These twenty-two spiritual mountains are under my control. The land of the spirit obeys my orders, the relics of the ancestors are assigned to me, and the chess idiots and book immortals protect me... If a person is free and easy outside, it seems to be more in line with his own way, but in fact he may not be able to enjoy the ease of being born today."

Qin Yi was thoughtful, and the Taoism in it was actually quite interesting, and many people might not be able to see it clearly without Ju Yunxiu.

Although Ju Yunxiu has a literary and youthful spirit, he is still a sober strong man after all, and he will not "run to freedom and hobbies" in the second place and forget what the premise of truly giving himself comfort is.

"So since you enjoy this benefit, you need to take this responsibility. You must care about its inheritance and maintain its majesty." Ju Yunxiu said: "I once thought that if I find a reliable successor, I can learn chess and calligraphy. Like the two masters and uncles of Xian, give the burden to the young people, and become the Supreme Elder yourself, then you will have the best of both worlds."

Qin Yi pointed at himself with a strange expression: "Have you considered me?"

"I thought about it at first." Ju Yunxiu said with a smile: "Later, I felt that you have no desire for power and ambition than me, and you have no sense of belonging. If I really leave it to you, I am afraid that you will run faster than me .”

"Understand me." Qin Yi also smiled: "Because of this, you and I are the same person."

Ju Yunxiu tilted her head slightly, her face flushed a little, but she didn't retort.

It is true that their confidant and mutual understanding stem from this.

They also have no desire for power and greed, and love the cleanness and ease of leaving the dust, and pursue the pursuit of music and painting without competing with the world.

The same loneliness, the same feeling of myself... like a passing guest.

One is that he doesn't even have a fellow daoist, and no one will listen to him, so he can only bully the little maid. One is that I always feel a little out of place in this world, a stranger in a foreign land, and when Tassel is hidden, it is an unbearable loneliness.

Of course, the specifics are quite different. For example, Ju Yunxiu is really obsessed with music, calligraphy and painting, while Qin Yi only treats it as a way of enlightenment. And Ju Yunxiu also knew that Qin Yi was not such a modest gentleman as he appeared on the surface, and he also had some dirty thoughts.

But compared to the difficulty of finding a bosom friend, those differences are not important, and it's not like looking in the mirror.

So they got along so well that they even wanted to change their minds about having him participate in the Dao Discussion Conference.

Originally, it was just a confidant to comfort the loneliness, and neither side had any impure thoughts, but the "picture confession" that was misunderstood by Quan Xiangong this time was finally no longer pure.

Both parties have ripples in their own moods. They can't tell the truth, and the channel of love has not been completed.

So "I want to draw you with my own hands" became the best excuse between the two.

In fact, they stand shoulder to shoulder at the Hongqiao, blowing the breeze by the pool, quiet and quiet, but they are just companions, so where is the paintbrush?

After standing quietly for an unknown amount of time, Qin Yi finally opened his mouth to break the silence: "Your master's painting is in the hands of Zheng Yunyi...is it the one you said you lost to the Zheng family in a bet?"

After all, business is the most important thing, and other things can be done slowly.

"That should be another one. My master shouldn't have given my portrait to others." Ju Yunxiu pondered: "In my understanding, this painting should have been buried with my master..."

"Listen to this tone, didn't you bury it with your own hands?"

Ju Yunxiu said unhappily: "We monks, who do we want to bury? Choose the tomb by yourself, seal it in all directions, and the world will be unknown."

After a pause, he said again: "When the heavens and humans are in decline, their ugliness is fully displayed...more embarrassing than a mortal dying. No one wants to be seen unless it is necessary."

Qin Yi complained: "The cultivators who desperately want to save face have even broken the surface."

"..."

"So since you didn't bury it with your own hands, this painting was lost to the Zheng family at the beginning, and another one was buried with it." Qin Yi said: "You think your master won't give your portrait to others, maybe it was in the beginning Your master intended to match you with someone from the Zheng family, but it was shelved later."

Ju Yunxiu frowned and thought for a while, and said to herself: "It's not impossible. If so, it means that Master was dissatisfied with the Palace Master back then, and reached a tacit understanding with Mou Zong."

"Huh? And the story of the Palace Master?"

"Because the palace lord has not shown his face for many years, everything is conveyed by the crane. Even if we go to the palace to meet him, we will talk to each other through the air and never see anyone."

Qin Yi finally understood why the palace lord did not come to this Dao discussion meeting, which was supposed to reflect the importance of the palace lord.

It's no wonder that some people from the Suanzong began to use their schemes on their fellow sects, intending to merge or squeeze space to seize resources step by step. The ultimate goal may be to seek the position of palace master. There is such a game under the door, the palace master should not be completely unaware, maybe it is in some abnormal situation, it is not suitable to deal with it with a big fanfare, so there is only a tacit understanding?

"I'm afraid something has happened to the Palace Master... Before he showed up for the last time, did you hear that he was going to secretly practice some skills, or what he was going to do?"

Ju Yunxiu thought for a while: "I only heard Xianhe say a very strange word, saying that it is guarding the tomb. But in this fairy palace, whose tomb is worthy of the palace master's retreat and guarding?"

Qin Yi was also at a loss when he heard that, Ju Yunxiu hadn't known about things in Wandao Immortal Palace for thousands of years, and he knew even less about Immortal Palace, let alone try to figure out anything.

But at least one thing can be judged.

The palace lord is actually in a semi-retired state, and usually won't show up. In fact, most of the deacons in the main hall of the Immortal Palace do not have much advanced practice, and are responsible for the operation of internal and external government affairs. That is to say, the actual controller of Myriad Dao Immortal Palace is the strongest master of the four major systems, whoever defeats the other three sects is equivalent to acting as the master of the palace...

Then there are only two or three kittens in your piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. If others don’t ask you for surgery first, who else will they go to?

"If this is the case...in fact, we can ask the other two sects to intervene and tell them the truth of the cold lips and teeth. If we die, they will be the next one. Why do we have to fight each other stupidly?"

Ju Yunxiu hesitated and said: "If someone else intervenes, I'm afraid the situation will become more complicated. After all, we have few people and we will be hard-pressed to deal with it."

Qin Yi said: "But the other party has already attracted outsiders to intervene, and he is not as gentleman as imagined. I am afraid that we will fight two at that time, and that will be called tragedy."

"Huh?" Ju Yunxiu didn't react for a moment.

Qin Yi sneered slightly: "Where did Xixiangzi's Dahuanxi Temple pill come from?"

Uh, what about 520, the update will be a little later tonight... there will be an update tomorrow.
