Baixue's slender hands are messy, and green water is clear and humble.

——Excerpt from "Listening to Lu Zishun Playing the Piano on a Moonlit Night" by Li Bai

……

Princess Qingluan was quite interested in Bai Fu's past, so she wanted to ask a few more questions.But seeing Bai Fu was sad, he quickly changed the topic.

Princess Qingluan asked: "When Master Mu Yunyi of Yunshangfang gave me the Xiangxiong Dzi Bead Necklace that day, why did you agree to let me accept it? Could it be that you speculated that you would fight against an illusionist?"

Bai Fu smiled freely, and said: "It is said that Master Huineng, the sixth patriarch of Zen, can penetrate time and space with the 'Leijintong' of Master Huineng, the sixth patriarch of Zen.

Your Highness, that day you disguised yourself as an assassin and fought me with a green bamboo stick...

Speaking of which, let me ask one more question, Lady Gongsun is famous all over the world for dancing with swords, why do you use bamboo sticks instead of swords? "

Princess Qingluan complained helplessly; "There are many rules in the palace. Except for the forbidden army, even the prince is not allowed to carry weapons with him. For the convenience of practice, the master changed the sword technique to the stick technique and taught it to me."

Bai Fu nodded and said: "Ms. Gongsun's kung fu is really unfathomable. The way you pass on the stick is superb and exquisite. Stumbling, chopping, wrapping, poking, picking, leading, sealing, turning, rolling, folding, floating, and lifting twelve The tactic, combining hardness and softness, even I find it difficult to deal with it."

Hearing Bai Fu's praise, Princess Qingluan was elated, her eyelashes moved closer, and she smiled slyly: "You're not kidding me, are you?"

Bai Fu said from the bottom of his heart: "In all fairness, I can't defeat you within ten strokes just by fighting with bare hands!"

Princess Qingluan felt that every pore of her body was being blown by the spring breeze—comfortable!
Princess Qingluan shrugged her nose, she couldn't help being a little proud, imitating the appearance of a knight-errant, she cupped her fists and saluted, saying: "Young Hero Bai, I've accepted."

Bai Fu couldn't help laughing, and said: "Don't be complacent, I haven't finished yet. But it was this fight that made me aware of a hidden danger in your martial arts.

This hidden danger is very mysterious, perhaps, Xiangxiong Dzi Bead can make up for this flaw.This point, Mrs. Mu probably also found out, that's why she gave you the dzi bead. "

Princess Qingluan was very nervous, and hurriedly asked: "What hidden danger is it, why did my master never mention it to me?"

Bai Fu pondered for a moment, and said: "Although your stick technique is exquisite, but your inner strength is mixed with a hint of dark and sinister air.

From the current point of view, although there is no serious problem, after a certain period of practice, this trace of mysterious and hostile energy will interfere with your practice, and you may even be in danger of going crazy.

At the beginning, I thought it was because of Aunt Gongsun's lineage that they were all female disciples. In order to achieve quick success, they took a slanted approach. During the cultivation, the true qi focused on the yin meridian, which led to the imbalance of water and fire, and the lack of yin and yang.

It wasn't until I fought against Wu Daozi that I realized that it was because Aunt Gongsun was too obsessed with illusions:

Maybe at certain times, Aunt Gongsun herself couldn't tell which one was the real body and which one was the phantom body, and when she was in the phantom body, she passed on your exercises.So that part of your kung fu comes from illusion.

Although Aunt Gongsun did not teach you the illusion, but when you perform the martial arts you learned in the illusion, you will involuntarily be enveloped by Xuanming's hostility and fall into the illusion.In this regard, you are more dangerous than anyone who has studied illusion.Because you don't know whether you are performing martial arts or using illusion.You don't even realize whether you are a body or a shadow.

If you don't have dzi beads and other magic tools to help you bless you, once you enter the realm of Stealing Dreams, you will be permanently trapped in Zhuang Zhou's illusion of dreaming butterflies. "

Princess Qingluan's complexion changed drastically, she screamed, and said, "You're not alarmist, are you? Is there any help?"

Bai Fu said: "It hasn't reached such a serious point, but to be safe, you need to wear the Zhang Zhung Dzi Bead all the time.

When meditating and practicing, when you are not sure whether it is the real body or the phantom, hold the dzi bead in your hand and inject your thoughts into the dzi bead. The blessing power of the great practitioner in the dzi bead will protect your real body like a diamond armor.

Your internal strength is relatively shallow, and you have a body protected by dzi beads, so it shouldn't be a big problem.Instead, I am worried about your senior sisters of "Thirteen Hairpins in Neon Clothes"..."

Princess Qingluan said dejectedly: "Although the master and senior sister were released without charge, the emperor expelled them from the capital and went to Yangzhou. I just sent them off at the Baqiao Pavilion, and I saw them for the last time."

……

Bai Fu took Princess Qingluan's green bamboo stick in his hand and tasted it carefully.Seeing that the bamboo sticks are as crystal clear as emerald jade, hard and flexible, I can't help but praise them.

Seeing that Bai Fu liked this object, Princess Qingluan proudly showed off: "You are quite knowledgeable! This emerald bamboo is one of the "Bamboo Kings" in the bamboo sea in the south of Shu! It is said that Fairy Yaoqing, the daughter of the Antarctic Heaven Official, was killed When I was demoted to the mortal world, I planted it with my own hands, and there are only a few in the entire Shunan Bamboo Sea.

The Jiannan Jiedu envoy gave it to Grandpa Huang to use as a crutch. Grandpa Huang saw that I liked it, so he asked Yugongfang to transform it into a bamboo stick for me. "

Bai Fu praised: "Sure enough, it is something with a history. This bamboo stick is light and fairy-like, soft yet strong, just suitable for Wu Daozi's 'Wu Dai Dangfeng' style of writing."

After all, Bai Fu combined with Wu Daozi's brushstrokes, and passed on to Princess Qingluan the method of using the energy of "using softness to overcome rigidity" that he had just comprehended.

Bai Fu asked Princess Qingluan to break down the stick technique, pointing out the points that can be improved and improved one by one.After an hour, Princess Qingluan benefited a lot.

……

Before leaving, Princess Qingluan asked cautiously: "Young Master Fu, this line-drawing hand scroll you copied - "87 Immortal Scroll", is lifelike and wonderful, can you give it to me?"

Bai Fu smiled heartily, wrapped the scroll in his hand with oilcloth, and handed it to Princess Qingluan.Princess Qingluan was overjoyed.

When handing the scroll to Princess Qingluan, Bai Fu said without warning: "Your Highness, if you see someone in the palace who looks similar to the character in the painting, don't say anything, remember to let me know in time."

Although Princess Qingluan didn't know the meaning of Bai Fu's words, seeing Bai Fu's inscrutable appearance, she quickly agreed without asking any further questions.

After paying the tea money and paying compensation for the furniture broken with the dust whisk, the two went downstairs, said goodbye one by one, and parted ways.

The thin diner just now also followed from the tea house, lingering behind Princess Qingluan far away.

Two disciples of the Beggar Clan who were catching lice at the street corner saw the skinny diner following Princess Qingluan, looked at each other, and followed.

……

In the evening of the same day, a thin eater sneaked into a rice shop, and the manager of the rice shop was fiddled with the abacus on the counter.

The thin eater pretended to be picking corn and rice. After looking at two or three types of rice, he went to the counter to discuss the price with the shopkeeper.

Seeing that no one was paying attention, the thin eater said in a low voice: "Shopkeeper Sun, the murals in the Bodhi Temple in Pingkangfang have been copied."

Shopkeeper Sun cracked the abacus beads, and said disdainfully, "Gou San, this isn't the first time someone has copied this painting, so why panic?"

The thin eater Gou Sandao said, "Do you know who copied the painting? Bai Fu!"

A trace of panic appeared in Shopkeeper Sun's eyes. He stopped his calculations and asked, "Why is it him? This master is not easy to deal with. Did he find any clues?"

The thin eater Gou Sandao said: "I don't know. After the copying was finished, he talked for a long time with a young man disguised as a man in the tea room. When we parted, he gave the scroll to this young lady."

"Have you found out who this little lady is?" Shopkeeper Sun's eyes flashed fiercely.

"I don't know, she took the picture scroll and entered Miyagi." The thin eater Gou San said.

"What? She's from the palace?" Shopkeeper Sun was shocked.

……

　Sitting idle at night with the bright moon, Youren plays the plain piano.

　　Suddenly, I heard the sad tone, like the chanting of cold pine trees.

　　Baixue's slender hands are messy, and green water is clear and humble.

　　The clock is gone for a long time, and there is no bosom friend in the world.
