Zongwu: My Proficiency Panel

Chapter 206
midnight.

When he walked out of the room, the moonlight was shining on the tree, and the gnarled shadow of the tree hung upside down at Li Jiner's feet.Flowers and trees are beautiful, and Hongyun stands under the tree and smiles at Li Jiner.

Li Jin'er stopped in his tracks, Hong Yun took a few steps forward, and took Li Jin'er's hand: "The moonlight is fine tonight, the young master and I thought of getting together, let's go out to relax."

Li Jin'er didn't know what to say, so she hummed quietly and sneaked out to play tonight. Now that Hong Yun knew about it, she always felt guilty.Hong Yun turned her head to look at Li Jin'er a few times, her smile was as charming as a charm, her neck was bent into a graceful arc, like a docile swan.

Hong Yun pushed open the door, and the two walked up the wooden ladder step by step.Stepping on the last step, the road was suddenly covered by a vast expanse of whiteness, and a few strands of white silk hung from the beams in the pavilion. Hong Yun brushed aside the silk curtain with both hands, and walked slowly into the third-floor wing.

Before the candle was lit, Li Jin'er looked at the whole room by the moonlight. The white walls and vermilion windows were carved with hundreds of flowers and vines on the window lattices.On the east wall are hanging paintings of Suihan Sanyou in sequence, and on the wooden shelves in the corner are azaleas and pine and bamboo bonsai.

The shadow of the moon lay horizontally across the room, the shadows in the room were unclear, the gauze curtains spun a few times, and a strand of flying gauze brushed against Li Jin'er's shoulder.

She looked.

A small bamboo horse, a bald writing brush, woodcarved chickens and ducklings, and straw worms are neatly placed on the table.In the light of the moon, the knife-cut marks on the little bamboo horse's body could be seen faintly.

Li Jin'er had many of these children's toys when she was young. The bamboo crickets her mother wove for her and the dolls her father carved out of wood were treasures for reliving her childhood.

The Champs is filled with the fragrance of tranquility. As soon as you step into the door, you immediately feel your chest throbbing, and your whole body is filled with indescribable warmth.

The two sat on the round stool in the center of the hall.Hongyun walked up to him, took a cup of tea and handed it to Li Jiner himself, sat in the chair next to her and stared at Li Jiner with her chin resting on her hands.

"Does the young master like this scent? It took me a lot of effort to prepare this bowl of fragrant tea." She said with a smile, her eyes swept over the teacup in Li Jiner's hand, "Taste it quickly , it loses its flavor when it’s cold.”

"I haven't seen you for a long time, and you even made the tea more fragrant and sweet. What kind of new tea color is this? It's actually stronger than the one you've drank before."

Hong Yun rolled his lips and smiled, but didn't answer.

Li Jin'er took another sip, the aroma of the tea was overflowing, so tempting that Li Jin'er couldn't help but drank the whole bowl of tea.Looking up at Hong Yun, her black eyes were glinting brightly, staring intently at the teacup in Li Jiner's hand, and the corner of her mouth smiled with unreasonable charm.

I remember when I first saw Hongyun, she was wearing a red palace dress, flying gracefully in the wind.She seems to prefer red clothes, just like her name with a red letter in it, red brocade, red skirt and red silk ribbon waist.

"This tea not only tastes good, but also nourishes the body." Hong Yun moved the teacup in front of Li Jin'er, reached out and lifted Li Jin'er's chin, "Drinking it will not only make the skin and meat tender, but also prolong life. Young Master, how old do you think I am this year?"

Li Jin'er stared at Hong Yun intently, and said softly: "Looking at your appearance, I'm afraid you are only in your [-]th year."

Hong Yun giggled coquettishly, with a charming look in her eyes: "Young master, you are praising my sister. How could I not even reach twenty? Although my sister has not experienced much in the world, but she has lived to this day, and there are always 36 of them." It's the beginning of the year!"

Li Jin'er let out a groan, and said in astonishment: "I only think of you as a girl who hasn't reached double ten, how would you know..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Hong Yun smiled like a branch in the wind, and interrupted her swayingly: "How do you know that I am already a middle-aged lady? Not to mention being your sister, it is too old to be your mother."

Li Jin'er was secretly startled, she didn't understand why she would bring this up tonight, and then thought of her frivolous actions before, she said dully.

"You are so pretty, why don't you seduce others..."

Before Li Jin'er finished speaking, Hong Yun already smiled like a flower in the wind, and interrupted Li Jin'er swayingly: "Why, do you dislike me for being too old?"

"Do not……"

"Why not? Young master, then tell me, Chief Zhao is a man, does he love you very much?" She smiled more and more charmingly, and walked to Li Jin'er's side, the candlelight hit her black hair, unexpectedly There was a cold and strange feeling, "Does he look at you like this every day? Dotes on you?"

Her hand touched Li Jin'er's neck, and gently stroked the hair on Li Jin'er's back. Li Jin'er's back was tense.

She leaned close to Li Jin'er's ear, exhaled and said, "Did his hand caress you like this?"

Cold fingers brushed across Li Jin'er's cheeks, pinching the white magnolia from Li Jin'er's temples.Li Jin'er watched her every move, her body became stiff.

It was clearly a romantic joke, but it was said from Hong Yun's mouth, a woman's mouth, which made her feel embarrassed immediately, and said sideways, "Hong Yun, what nonsense are you talking about?"

The candle flickered on and off, Hong Yun's figure was stretched to a strange length, like a seductive female ghost.

Hong Yun walked slowly to the soft couch, pushed open the window lattice, and the night wind poured into the room, blowing the golden hairpin she had in her hair to the ground.The blue hair on her head fluttered behind her back in an instant, and her emerald green robes fluttered.

The magnolia was blown away by the wind, and strands of petals hovered in the wing room like fluff.Hong Yun turned around and smiled at Li Jin'er, full of charm, even the wind brought a bit of charming scenery.

"Presumptuous! How dare you be so presumptuous!" Although Li Jin'er's words were scolding, they had no deterrent effect in Hong Yun's ears.

"Young master, I'm not kidding anymore. My sister will tell you a story, do you want to listen to it?" There was an intoxicating smile on her lips, and her black hair fluttered like a snake.

"This story is a bit long. You have to listen to it patiently. Let me think about it first. Where should I start?" She tilted her head, as if thinking seriously, and then laughed, "It's almost 20 years. It’s the old days, it was in a very cold place. At that time, there were many people, men and women, old and young, beautiful and ugly, those who were extremely smart, some Those are extremely stupid, some are martial arts masters, and some are mediocre. Then one day, a child came, that child was very young, only six years old, but her parents left her in that place cruelly."

"People in the world say that it is the place where the gods live in legends. As long as they can stay there, it is a great thing. But in the heart of that child, she just wants to be with her parents. She was taken to a palace, where her The most magnificent place she has seen in her life, she clearly remembers that there are many blue fires on both sides of the long corridor, which are placed in shark lamps. The child looked at everything in front of him and felt as if he had walked into a fairyland. In the dream, she saw a man wearing a mask sitting on the ice and snow throne, and he gave the little girl a name, Qi Ya."

Hong Yun's soft words echoed in the quiet night. In a place full of ice and snow 20 years ago, there was an ignorant child who was called Chia.

"Since then, this child has grown up in the ice and snow. She has to read a lot of books every day, and she has to go to the deep mountains to deal with the Miao people, trek across mountains and rivers, and learn poisonous and voodoo techniques. Do you think she is working hard?" Hong Yun Looking at Li Jiner, she asked softly. Before Li Jiner could speak, she said to herself again: "When she was 16 years old, a man called her away and gave her a bowl of tea. She didn't know that tea What does it mean? I just thought it tasted good, so I drank it without hesitation. The man smiled and watched her drink it, and asked her if it tasted good? She said it was delicious, and the man touched her head and praised her as a smart child. It is a great fortune to drink this bowl of tea.”

"At that time, she still didn't understand, how can there be any good luck in this world? She was not lucky, but her life was too bitter. The man tampered with the wine and took away her innocence. A few days later, She was sent to a wonderful place unimaginable by mortals. The people there called the place Heaven, and it was said that it was the place where angels lived, but in fact it was not Heaven, but outsiders liked to call it that. At that time, she thought , I will be with heaven and man in the future, wouldn't I also become a fairy? Ridiculous, ridiculous! How can a 16-year-old girl know what is a fairy and what is a demon? She didn't become a fairy, she fell into endless hell Became a demon."

"An extra baby appeared in the heavens, wrapped in gold and silver thread. That child is so beautiful, with shiny black eyes, almost as good as the stars in the sky. It is for others to fall in love with it at a glance. Maybe this is the sin of fate. , She watched the child grow up slowly, watching her become younger and more beautiful day by day, she sometimes selfishly thought that time would stop here, at the most beautiful moment of their years, but how could God hear the extravagant thoughts in her heart ?When the child was six years old, he left his parents just like she did back then. She didn’t envy others in her heart. She would rather guard this beautiful child, sing to him every day, and carve some little bamboo horses for him. Chicken and duckling."

"It's just that God's majesty cannot be doubted. The little girl still left the person who gave birth to her and raised her, and was named Hongyun. She is very talented in poison and Gu, so she continues to repeat the days of her predecessors. God is very concerned She even allowed her to visit the woman who had been poisoned and disfigured after her martial arts improved."

"The time with the old woman was the happiest and happiest day in her life. She laughed every day, making everyone around her say that she shouldn't be called Hongyun, but Hongxiao. She likes to wear Hongyi, because of the scarlet letter in her name, and because the old woman once said that she has a personality like sunset glow, and she will always be beautiful in his heart. She was so happy when she heard this."

Having said that, Hong Yun stopped and looked up at the full moon outside the window.Li Jin'er was engrossed in listening, and subconsciously answered: "Then what happened to Hongyun afterwards?"

Li Jin'er blurted out the word "Hongyun", Hongyun turned her head, raised her eyebrows and smiled at her: "She was sent out to assist a man, use Gu to help him control those disobedient people, and also kill people. That man is very ambitious, he He obviously already had a very big sect, but he was still not satisfied. Later, he angered the royal family, and then was wiped out by the masters of the royal family. But the man did not give up, but tried his best, even at the expense of the leader's sect. The spot was given to an up-and-comer because he wasn't as talented as any youngster, not even his opponent."

"Under the leadership of that young man, the originally broken sect was re-established, and its power became stronger and more terrifying. Even the imperial court did not dare to take action against him easily. At this time, the god who had always supported men told He, it's time to do it, and then..."

"Then what?" Li Jiner asked curiously.

"People's hearts are unpredictable. No one thought that Hongyun rejected God because she fell in love with someone, just like the old woman loved her back then and couldn't bear to hurt her."

At this time, there was a flute sound outside suddenly, with lingering resentment.

"Okay, the story is over, I should go too."

"Where are you going?"

Li Jin'er sat on the chair, staring at Hong Yun's pale and sad side dimple, she turned her head and smiled at Li Jin'er, and jumped out of the waterside pavilion.Under the long night and full moon, only her red robes were left, like wings on the wind, lightly falling outside the bamboo sea.

"Sinner Hongyun, welcome Chief Zhao." Hongyun bowed to the depths of the bamboo forest with a soft voice.

There has been no movement in the forest for a long time, only the sound of wind blowing bamboo leaves.After a long time, the flute sounded again, this time it was as anxious as throwing beans, and it roared out like a gold and iron horse, almost breaking the tympanic membrane.

Hongyun stood alone outside the bamboo forest, the burgeoning breath in the forest drove the air flow, and the wind blew the bamboo leaves out of the forest. The leaves were sharp and cut through the dark green light.

"Do not……"

Before he knew it, Li Jin'er clenched his hands into fists, Hong Yun smiled nonchalantly, and the moonlight dragged her reflection on the ground.Li Jin'er got up and walked to the window, stretched out her hand to support the window lattice, only to realize that she was shaking badly, she forced herself to calm down, and stared out.

A ball of green light flashed across Hong Yun's face in an instant, and the light and shadow flashed. She raised her finger to catch a bamboo leaf that shot past.The bloodstains slowly slid down from her face, reflecting the pale complexion, revealing a strange charm.

As soon as the words were finished, a shadow appeared in the forest, with white clothes fluttering and gauze flying.The figure gradually came out from the darkness, and the cold moonlight cast a silver glow on that stunning face.

Hong Yun took a step forward, less than half a foot away from Lian Ting, bowed and said with a smile: "Chief Zhao's martial arts are getting better and better."

"Do you need to say more?"

Ning Xiu stared at Hong Yun with his icy eyes, holding a jade flute in his hand, and his deep purple tassel fell to the ground.

"Chairman Zhao doesn't say a few words of his own when he sees his childhood sweetheart. He is afraid that he will have to wait for a few days, and he will have nothing to say." Although Hong Yun's voice was soft, the meaning was vicious.

Standing outside the forest, Ning Xiu didn't move his brows, as if he didn't take Hong Yun's words to heart.

The masters compete with each other, and the battle is on the verge of death. Whoever strikes first loses first.

Li Jin'er thought to herself, could it be that she is already confident enough to defeat Brother Ning?

Hong Yun seemed to want to annoy Ning Xiu on purpose, and squeezed his throat and shouted: "When the head of the sect accepted Chief Zhao, I still remember the appearance of that little kid. Hehe, looking back, it's been ten years. "

Ning Xiu remained unmoved, and looked at Hong Yun coldly. Hong Yun gradually stretched her willow eyebrows, her whole body glowing with charm.

"Chief Zhao is still so calm. It is because of your tolerance that God's plan was delayed and that little girl's mother died." Hong Yun said, her smile becoming more and more charming .

"Hongyun, what do you mean?"

"Yaoyao, do you still think she just told a story? The world is dangerous, do you know what she gave you to drink?! This vicious woman was playing tricks on you just now."

Li Jin'er raised his hand to brush his chest, his breathing gradually became short of breath, and he didn't dare to look directly at Hong Yun's smile.Her facial features were unspeakably beautiful under the moonlight, but the expression between her brows was desolate.Looking at her one more time, I felt a sharp pain in my heart, and I couldn't help but start to mourn and hurt myself.

Ning Xiu put the horizontal end of the jade flute in his hand to his lips, and played the music carefully.The sound of the flute was soft and melodious, like a wild spring dripping stones, and the clouds were auspicious. With the sound of the flute, the distress in Li Jiner's chest subsided a lot. Then she turned her head to look at Hongyun. The blood on her cheeks had already dried up. Staring at Ning Xiu.

Hong Yun's footsteps swayed slightly, and he laughed intermittently: "Sure enough...you are still clever, but the chief can break my deceiving technique, but still can't get rid of the poison on her body!"

Ning Xiu nodded, and his ice-file-like voice was playful: "Hong Yun, I haven't seen you for a few years, and your heretic practice is pretty good, and your scheming has become more and more serious. I almost fell for your tricks."

"Almost? The chief's words are disgusting, but I am sincere to the young master!" Hong Yun chuckled, and laughed courteously, "I swore that I would not harm her, otherwise I would die from a thunderbolt."

Ning Xiu raised his eyebrows, and after a while, the hostility on his face dissipated invisible, and he said calmly: "In this case, hand over the antidote, and self-destruct your martial arts, and I will let you go."
