That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 427 You Will Hate Me

Qi Xianyun has a complex expression. Although she is used to seeing her master and his wife respecting each other as guests, she never thought that she would have a day when she would get married. In her opinion, since she wants to live forever, why bother to get married and have children? The word "human" is too far away for her, and on Dutian Peak, the young Taoists she has come into contact with either respect her as a god or keep her at a distance. She has never realized that a young woman should experience heartbeat feeling.

Contrary to Qi Xianyun, Xiao Zhinan knew from a young age that she would definitely marry when she grew up, just like those elders in the clan, either marrying far away in a foreign country, or marrying someone who looks and hates each other.She didn't want to do this, but this was the mission of the daughter of the Xiao family, and she was powerless to resist.

Because of this, when Xu Beiyou appeared in front of Xiao Zhinan with a brand new attitude, one can imagine the joy in her heart, a man who doesn't hate, a man who is motivated, a man who can slowly cultivate feelings, a man who Why not marry a man who can give her stability?

Even if her mother objected, her aunt was worried, her father looked on coldly, even her closest brother was noncommittal, and no one in her family stood up to support her clearly, she still made a choice.

She is not a fairy goddess who does not eat fireworks in the sky, she is also an ordinary woman.

The leisure she wanted was not that of a fairy in the sky, but just the security and ease of the secular world.

Just as Xiao Zhinan didn't understand Qi Xianyun's way of longevity, Qi Xianyun also didn't understand Xiao Zhinan's desire.

But whenever he thinks about getting married, Xiao Zhinan's expression subconsciously becomes peaceful and serene.

"Do you really believe in Buddhism?" Qi Xianyun glanced at the number beads in Xiao Zhinan's hand.

Xiao Zhinan subconsciously held the number beads in his palm, and said with a smile, "Amitabha."

Qi Xianyun seemed a little annoyed by Xiao Zhinan's way of speaking with clouds and fog, and his tone became more and more indifferent, "Buddhism says that there is a Buddha in the heart, and there are Buddhas everywhere, but you people have ghosts in your heart, and you worship the Buddha for peace of mind."

Xiao Zhinan asked tit for tat: "Could it be that you have a clear conscience?"

Qi Xianyun said calmly: "No shame."

Now it was Xiao Zhinan's turn to remain silent, and after a long time, he said softly: "Then you are really lucky."

Qi Xianyun was noncommittal.

Xiao Zhinan continued: "Just now you asked me what I plan to do, now it's time for me to ask you, what are you going to do next?"

Qi Xianyun also did not answer directly, but looked out through the window and said softly: "This place is very different from Xuan."

Xiao Zhinan asked curiously, "Why is it different?"

Qi Xianyun said softly: "I don't stay in this Juxiantai all the time, I occasionally go down for a walk. This place is different from Xuandu, which has strict rules and regulations. It's very... friendly."

"Harmony?" Xiao Zhinan asked.

Qi Xianyun nodded and said: "It's just kindness. People here, from the master of the Taoist sect to a little Taoist boy who has just been enlightened, don't have so many airs, don't have so many sect views, and don't have so many intrigues. Occasionally, I would watch the sunrise and sunset. Compared with Xuandu, it is a little less grand, but a little more peaceful, and it is a very reassuring place."

"Peace of mind." Xiao Zhinan muttered silently, with complicated eyes.

Qi Xianyun said softly: "I plan to spend some time here to clean up and practice, and wait until the master comes out."

Xiao Zhinan sighed with regret, the grievances and grievances in the previous life prevented them from being together.

Qi Xianyun seemed to see what Xiao Zhinan was thinking, and finally there was a faint smile on his face, "You and I are not the same way, even if there are no two big mountains of Taoism and the imperial court."

"How do you say that?" Xiao Zhinan can be said to have learned the sage's shameless questioning to the fullest, not only can he stay calm, but also can put down his airs and ask for advice with an open mind.

Qi Xianyun said calmly: "I have a junior sister named Zhiyun."

Xiao Zhinan nodded and said, "I know."

Qi Xianyun continued: "She and Xu Beiyou are old acquaintances who shared weal and woe."

Xiao Zhinan still nodded and said, "I know too."

Qi Xianyun slightly increased his voice, "Since you know all about it, why do you still want to provoke Xu Beiyou? You are a wealthy princess of the Tian family, why bother to embarrass her, a poor little girl who has nothing?"

Xiao Zhinan's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "I never thought of embarrassing anyone, I just did what I should do."

Qi Xianyun finally got angry, and said slightly angrily: "What a man who only does what he should do. Could it be that what His Royal Highness should do is to rob others?"

Xiao Zhinan frowned slightly, but did not speak.

"I was the one to be rude." Qi Xianyun took a deep breath and regained his composure, "But there is a first come, first served, right?"

Xiao Zhinan said slowly: "The two women are intriguing in order to compete for a man. In the final analysis, they are all cheap men. Let's put that man aside and say that these two women come first and then come. As early as in Danxia Village. I already know Xu Beiyou, did you know about this? If you don’t believe me, you can ask him in person in the future.”

Qi Xianyun snorted lightly, noncommittal.

Xiao Zhinan loosened his five fingers, put the number beads back on his wrist, and said softly: "Take ten thousand steps back, even without me, Xiao Zhinan, the two of them can really achieve the right result? You just said that Zhiyun is your junior sister, that is the head teacher Daoist's personal disciple, but don't forget who Xu Beiyou is, and who is his mentor."

Xiao Zhinan said word by word: "Xu Beiyou is the first disciple of the Sword Sect, and his master is Gongsun Zhongmou. At the beginning, he watched the Master Master kill his master. How can he really have no grudges? Even if he If you can remain indifferent and insist on marrying Zhiyun, what should the members of the Sword Sect think of him? Can his mistress, Zhang Xueyao, rest assured that she will hand this Sword Sect into his hands?"

Qi Xianyun was speechless.

Xiao Zhinan calmly said: "If Gongsun Zhongmou is not dead, no matter how the sword is not balanced, there is room for change between the two, but since Gongsun Zhongmou died in the hands of the head teacher, then Xu Beiyou has no other choice , I think he already made a decision when he went from the northwest to the south of the Yangtze River."

Qi Xianyun was speechless.

Gather outside Sendai.

Zhiyun shrank behind the boulder, hugged his knees with his hands, buried his head between his knees, and shrugged his shoulders slightly.

She is no longer the little Taoist nun she used to be. During her time in Xuandu, her cultivation has also improved by leaps and bounds. The two women inside did not deliberately cover up their conversation. Xiao Bai disdains to listen, but Zhiyun is not Xiao Bai. Those words came into her ears clearly.

After a while, Juxiantai fell into silence, only the sound of a strong wind howling, and the murmur of crying in a voice covered by the wind.

"Actually, I knew about it a long time ago, when I was in Jiangdu."

"When you told me that the way of the sword is not compatible, I knew that our fate was over."

"I'm just a worthless little Taoist nun. I can't compare to Senior Sister Qi's talent, Her Royal Highness's family background, or Miss Wu who helps you solve problems. Even if I want to make a vase, I can't compare to them in appearance. Today, the princess Your Highness said that I would drag you down, but she was right, I have always been a dragger."

"If it weren't for me, Mr. Gongsun might not have died."

"Mr. Gongsun saved me, but I worshiped his enemy as my teacher."

"You...would you hate me?"
