The witch looks at her moves

Chapter 15 Tai Wu
  Laojun is different in everyone's eyes.

In his eyes, Laojun is a white insect nest full of livestock limbs, but in the eyes of others, Laojun may look completely different.

But...how could this happen?
  Su Zhen stood in the fairly wide stream, looking at the girls bent over looking for various stones, and remembered that Lu Qi had asked her disciples to express their various views on water.

The same water has completely different meanings in different eyes. However, Laojun is a real thing. Why do different people get completely different pictures when they look at the same thing?
  Even in the world of cultivating immortals, Su Zhen still found it difficult to understand.

He leaned down, picked up a handful of water and slapped it on his face. The cold touch stimulated him to wake up.

Through the water, Su Zhen saw a pale face.

I was stunned for a moment before I remembered that it was me.

I have to say, this is really an attractive face, with porcelain white skin and beautiful eyebrows. If there were such a good-looking girl in high school, she would definitely become the focus of attention on campus, just like Shao Xiaoxiao. But now, this beautiful girl The little girl is none other than himself.

Su Zhen stared at the reflection in the water, feeling an inexplicable strange feeling in his heart. Logically speaking, this was the type he liked, but he couldn't have any desire anyway.

"Sister Yu Yue, what are you doing?"

Nan Chang's voice sounded from behind, waking up Su Zhen who was slightly sluggish.

"I'm looking for a stone." Su Zhen answered quickly and then asked, "Have you found it yet?"

"Ah."

Nan Chang nodded and spread her hands to show her stone, which was a smooth red stone with fine black spots on it, "Oh, the Laojun in my eyes is red, I hope the fairy won't be disappointed. "

"Is there anything special about Laojun's color?" Su Zhen couldn't help but ask.

Nan Chang was slightly surprised, but thinking that the other party knew nothing about cultivation, he didn't say much and just explained: "The lower the realm, the simpler the Laojun is in their eyes. For example, the Laojun in my eyes is a long-haired man." It is a red ball with a few black spots, but in my master's eyes, Laojun is a golden elixir with exquisite patterns. The famous Ziguan Taoist in Nixiang Mountain is said to be able to see a blue alchemy furnace surrounded by dragons and phoenixes. The flame is shaped like an innocent soul..."

Nan Chang's voice became softer and softer, but the look of yearning on his face became stronger and stronger.

"In short, for most mortals, the higher the realm, the more complicated the Laojun they can see. In other words, cultivation is a process of getting closer to the reality of Laojun."

Nan Chang patiently explained to Su Zhen. She stroked the smooth surface of the stone with her slender jade fingers, lowered her eyes and sighed softly: "I originally wanted to find a more special piece, but such clumsy lies, the fairy should not take a look at them." If you can see through it, it’s not good if it’s self-defeating.”

Su Zhen's face was still calm, but he was surprised in his heart. He did not expect that the way to divide realms in this world was by looking at Laojun. So, was the white insect nest he saw complex or simple?

"What does the most real Laojun look like?" Su Zhen asked.

"no one knows."

Nan Chang smiled and added: "In other words, the sages who have understood this great secret have all ascended and become immortals. However, ascension is also a legend and no one has ever really seen it."

"That's it." Su Zhen nodded.

"What does the old gentleman you see look like? Do you want sister to help you look for him?" Nan Chang asked softly.

"No need." Su Zhen didn't want to trouble her.

Nan Chang didn't say much and went to look for Fairy Lu Qi.

Su Zhen continued to lean over and search, and after a while, he found a stone. The stone had a white base. Other messy colors had accumulated over time and squeezed together, forming a seaweed-like pattern on the surface. From a distance, it looked really real. Like clusters of insects.

Su Zhen picked up the stone and was about to turn around, when another gloomy voice sounded behind his ears:
  "Yu Yue, I saw that you look smart and smart, but I didn't expect that you are also a smart fool."

Su Zhen turned around and saw Feng Hua, who was independent with hanging sleeves. She was staring at him with indescribable irony in her eyes.

"What do you mean?"

Su Zhen frowned, not knowing what had offended her.

"If you can become Fairy Lu Qi's close disciple, you can learn the most exquisite secrets of Jiu Miao Palace and get Lu Qi's most orthodox mantle. This is indeed an irresistible temptation for you girls who have escaped from death. However, Fairy Lu Qi just said that she wants someone with a firm heart, so I advise you not to be too smart."

Feng Hua's voice was so soft that if you didn't listen carefully, it would have been almost washed away by the running water.

Su Zhen was even more confused. He glanced at the white stone in his hand and said, "I still don't understand."

Feng Hua stared at Su Zhen's eyes, her sharp eyebrows like narrow knives furrowed little by little. She pointed at the girl not far away who was leaning over to look for a stone, and said: "Everyone can see what kind of Lao Jun you are, only you can see it." I know, so there are always people who want to take a gamble and choose a special stone to make people think that she is gifted. But there is no point in deceiving oneself and others. Fairy Lu Qi has a sharp eye and will definitely abandon them."

"I'm not lying."

Su Zhen immediately understood that Feng Hua felt that he wanted to impress the public, but was there anything special about the white old man? Su Zhen decided to ask clearly.

"You're not lying?"

"Ah."

"Still dishonest?"

Feng Hua shook her head, as if she was completely disappointed with Su Zhen, and her tone was full of sadness: "Only the old man in the eyes of demons is white, Yu Yue, put away your stupidity and take care of yourself. "

Only Laojun in Yaoxie's eyes is white?
  Su Zhen's heart trembled.

He watched Feng Hua walk away, and the stone in his hand was extremely cold.

Like a sleeping beast waking up, the wind in the valley grew louder, thick clouds came from the beast's breath, and sprayed into the sky like mountain fire. The old man was covered again, and the surroundings fell into darkness again. The already cold and biting stream became even colder. The girls stood They couldn't stand any longer, and their delicate little feet were red with cold.

The black branches that blocked the sky and sun disappeared into the darkness, becoming unreal and difficult to distinguish.

Lu Qi was sitting by the stone, silently dressed in white, and it didn't seem real.

She took the stone handed over by Su Zhen. The stone showed a rare copper-green color, like a lotus leaf touching the sky. It was so rich and overwhelming that it did not need to be decorated with a lotus petal.

Lu Qi stroked the surface of the copper-green creek stone, her movements as gentle as admiring antiques. Her eyes were extremely clear, she could see through everything but remained silent:
  "It's beautiful, as beautiful as you are."

Regarding this compliment, Su Zhen showed no pride or self-effacement. He silently accepted it, crossed the stream, and left respectfully.

On the way back, he met Nan Shang again.

"The fairy smiled at you. I saw it from a distance. It seems that she likes you very much." Nan Chang said enviously.

"Fairy Lu loves every disciple." Su Zhen said.

"Did the fairy say anything to you?" Nan Chang asked.

"Fairy Lu said that the stone I picked is very beautiful." Su Zhen thought about it and said mockingly: "It is all green, very monotonous, and I don't know what's so beautiful about it."

"What's not clear about this."

Nan Chang smiled gently, her eyes shining in the night: "You haven't truly embarked on the path of spiritual cultivation, so what if the old gentleman you see is dull? You are much better than those smart-alecks. I just heard Feng Hua said, someone actually wanted to give a white stone to the fairy, and they really risked their lives just to show off. I see, the fairy may not be praising the beauty of the stone, but praising your sincerity."

Su Zhen pursed her lips and responded absently.

He finally believed Feng Hua's words and did not choose the white stone.

But why did he see the white Laojun? Could it be that Yu Yue is the evil spirit they talk about?

In the iron cage, the Qingmao Tianzun, whose mouth was blocked by wooden lumps, had woken up. It opened its eyes and looked at the girls returning to the shore from the stream. There was a cold green light in its eyes, as if it was telling something unknown. conspiracy. Even though Tianzun was already a trapped beast, when the girls walked past it, they remained silent and did not dare to look directly at it.

Nan Chang was not afraid. She had devoted herself to the Tao and was cold-blooded towards such monsters. She even cursed "evil breeder" when she passed by.

Su Zhen returned to the carriage.

He fought against exhaustion and fear and fell into a drowsy state, hoping that the day would pass quickly. However, Laojun always hung in the sky and stubbornly lowered the light, refusing to let anyone rest. The wheels rolled over the undulating mountain road and traveled far in the intertwined forests. Su Zhen looked at the lifeless scenery outside the window, feeling confused.

Nan Shang and Che Yuan were meditating in the carriage, breathing in and out.

Feng Hua didn't know when she sat next to Su Zhen and whispered: "You are not too stupid if you find your way back." Su Zhen asked: "Are you helping me?"

Feng Hua sneered: "Not only do you think you are smart, you also think you are passionate."

Su Zhen asked: "Is it true that only evil spirits can see the white Laojun?"

"That's not necessarily true. Nothing in this world is inevitable, but..."

Feng Hua paused, and her eyes shone brightly again. She moved closer to Su Zhen, sniffing along his neck to his cheeks, "Yu Yue, tell me the truth, the Laojun you saw will not It’s really white, right?”

"No." Su Zhen thought for a while and said.

"It's okay if it's not, otherwise..."

Feng Hua raised his chin and said, "You don't have any demonic aura about you, and you look so pretty. It's true that you can't be a demon, but it's hard to say whether it could be something else."

"Something else? What is it?" Su Zhen asked for details.

"What else could it be? Of course it's the Taisha Shen." Feng Hua said.

"Taishen?"

"You don't even know Tai Wushen, do you?"

Seeing Su Zhen's expression of wanting to hear the details, Feng Hua lowered her voice and continued: "Most of the people in this world are normal people, but there are also many weirdos. Some of them have black and white reversed, and some have no distinction between colors. Male or female, their gender is unknown. Some are clearly human and do not claim to be birds or beasts. Some are clearly children, but they say that they have practiced Taoism for three generations and talk endlessly about "the past", which does not seem to be a lie. These people are related to They are no different from ordinary people, and no matter how powerful the monks are, they can't find anything different from ordinary people in them.

According to legend, there is a being who is shadowless, invisible, like a demon or an immortal, and is named Taiwu. Wherever Taiwu goes, yin and yang are in chaos, and Tao collapses and law is destroyed. People in the world name these monsters after Taiwu. Ordinary people would never see the white Laojun. If he was too witchy, it would make sense. After all, no matter what happened to them, it would not be strange. "

"Are there many witch bodies in the world?" Su Zhen asked.

"No matter how rare the people and things are, looking at the entire Xijing Kingdom, they are not in the minority." Feng Hua said.

"How big is Xijingguo?" Su Zhen asked.

"what?"

When Feng Hua heard his question, she frowned and said: "The world is so big, where is the Kingdom of Xijing? It was a country that unified the world two thousand years ago. Although it has long since fallen apart, the name has been preserved, and mortals live together. Everywhere is the Kingdom of Xijing. It’s fine that the traffickers, soldiers, carts, and pulp sellers don’t know these histories, but you don’t know either?”

"Thank you, Miss Fenghua, for your advice. I have neglected my studies on weekdays," Su Zhen said.

"Oh, sometimes I really can't tell whether you are really stupid or pretending to be stupid. However, if you are really a witch, it is a miracle that you are still alive today." Feng Hua said.

"why?"

"Because the gods on the mountain like Tai Wu Shen the most. If Tai Wu Shen is discovered by them, he will be caught soon and sent to the old craftsman's workshop to be polished into the best weapons." Feng Hua's tone was indifferent. of cruelty.

"Can people be polished into... weapons?"

Su Zhen felt even more horrified. He originally thought that this world was no different from the ancient dynasties except for cultivation. But the more he understood, the more horrified he felt.

"Of course, the world's most famous magical weapons, talismans, and magic weapons are all made by humans." Feng Hua took it as a matter of course.

Su Zhen recalled the weapons used by the purple-robed killer in Miaoyan Palace. At that time, he felt that they were unusually bright and sharp, but now that he thought about them, he only felt chills in his heart.

Feng Hua leaned closer, her weak breath gently touched Su Zhen's cheek, and her voice was rare and gentle: "So, if you want to survive well, you must not let others discover your specialness."

"I'm not."

Su Zhen shook his head subconsciously.

Feng Hua ignored it. She leaned close to Su Zhen's ear and said in a softer voice: "Anyway, hide it well and don't let Lu Qi find out."

Su Zhen's pupils suddenly condensed, and the coldness pierced his spine like a steel needle. He turned his head mechanically and stared into Feng Hua's white eyes in disbelief.

After looking at each other for a while, Su Zhen finally understood: Feng Hua also knew Lu Qi's cruelty, so when he spilled the beans, she was willing to help him out. When she was just picking out the stones, although she spoke harshly, she gave a timely reminder. .

Is this disabled girl really helping him? !

However, haven’t their memories been tampered with? Why is Fenghua still awake? Who is she?

Countless thoughts were entangled in her heart, trying to squeeze them out of her throat, but Feng Hua, who was looking at Su Zhen, suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Giggle, why are you so scared? I am just making you happy."

Feng Hua's laughter startled Nan Chang, who woke up from her meditation with resentment in her eyes.

Che Yuan was afraid that they would argue again, so he quickly comforted Nan Shang a few words. Seeing that she was not relieved, he cleverly said:
  "Let me tell Sister Nanshang an interesting story."

"Oh?" Nan Chang became interested and said with a smile, "What interesting stories have you heard, little girl?"

"That's a story I saw in the Book of Parables. It's very interesting."

Che Yuan sat upright and spoke in a childish voice: "I heard that there was an emperor in the Qingzhu Kingdom who gave birth to a daughter. He called the imperial doctor and ordered: 'You must find some medicine for me. Tell her to grow up immediately, or I'll kill you.'"

"How come you have such an unreasonable request? This emperor is really too much." Nan Chang was angry.

Che Yuan smiled and continued: "But the imperial doctor replied: 'I do have this medicine, but I can't find it in a hurry. Before I get the medicine, please don't see your daughter. After you give her the medicine, , and then let Your Majesty see her.' So he immediately went to a distant place to collect medicine. Twelve years later, he came back from collecting medicine, gave it to the princess, and brought her to the emperor. When the emperor saw his daughter growing up, he thought to himself He was really a good doctor, so I rewarded him with a treasure.”

"Twelve years have passed, and the little daughter has grown up. The emperor still thinks that it is the effect of medicine. It is really ridiculous."

After hearing this, Nan Chang laughed so hard that her worries were swept away. She rubbed Che Yuan's head and said, "It's indeed an interesting story. You are really suitable to be a disciple of the Miaoyan Palace. "

"I make my sister happy, and she still laughs at me. It doesn't make sense." Che Yuan said aggrievedly.

"Yes, she is really ungrateful. If you don't tell me something, I won't laugh at you." Feng Hua said.

"No more." Che Yuan puffed up his cheeks.

"It's okay that I am physically disabled, but I have to be ignored by a little girl like you. I really envy Miss Nan Shang. She is so beautiful and is loved wherever she goes." Although Feng Hua said this, her tone was calm.

After hearing this, Nan Chang softened slightly and said, "Miss Fenghua is still able to practice such martial arts even though her limbs are mutilated. It's too late for me to admire her. Please don't belittle yourself."

"It's just ten years of hard work."

Feng Huayun was calm and asked again: "Nanshang, how long have you been practicing in Liumen?"

"About...five or six years." Nan Shang said.

She originally thought that Feng Hua wanted to inquire about her martial arts skills and asked her how many levels of internal strength and sword skills she had practiced. Unexpectedly, Feng Hua narrowed her eyes, changed the subject, and asked: "Then Miss Nanshang is still a virgin." ?"

"You, what's wrong with you... hmph."

Nan Chang was startled, then lowered his head, his cheeks were filled with clouds, and he was so embarrassed that he ignored her.

Su Zhen thought to herself, this Fenghua loved to bully others, but she was very kind to him, reminding and protecting him everywhere. Is there any special reason for this?
  The animal pulling the cart could no longer run, and the convoy stopped by the road again. The purple-robed killer used a knife to make a hole in the horse's neck, poured the fodder mixed with black oil into it, lit a fire, and poured it inside. After throwing it away, the skinny horse's body expanded, and its muscle lines became clear again.

Fenghua set up a bonfire and grilled the meat distributed by the purple-robed killer. The fat in the meat sizzled under the flames, and soon it became tender and crispy, and the fragrance overflowed.

Su Zhen was not hungry at first, but when she smelled the aroma of the meat, she felt hungry.

At this moment, the sound of a beast stamping on the ground suddenly came from ahead.

Everyone thought that the aroma of the food had attracted the wild beasts, and they all showed signs of caution.

In the noisy smoke, an old white ape with thick hair strode forward. The old ape had extremely long fangs and thick arms and legs, but it was cruelly restrained by an iron chain wrapped around its abdomen and a steel fork pierced through its abdomen.

On the back of the old ape stood a young man. The young man was dressed in green clothes, with a picture of plum blossoms made of five colored spiritual fires embroidered on his clothes. He looked at this place from a distance and asked coldly:
  "Who is that person in front of you? What are you doing in my Qinglu Palace territory?"

　Thanks to Xiaotie Guohe, Tiancang Xueyi, and I, Yintianxia, ​​for their rewards~
  　　I would also like to thank my book friends for sending me monthly passes~
