fairy wife

"I didn't think about anything, I was just thinking about it. We are in charge of so many people in our Ziyu Pavilion. It's such a big deal. She and the owner of Dongfang Island have formed a Taoist couple. Do you want to marry into his house? Are we going? Are we abandoned, or brought along as a dowry? Or is the owner of the Eastern Island married to our Purple Jade Pavilion?"

This answer really surprised Shi'er.

Although he didn't show it, Qiuqiu could feel it.

She was also a little embarrassed: "I only think about these marginal things."

It's absurd, the focus of attention is completely different from that of others.

"Well, that's true." Shi'er actually discussed this matter with her seriously: "It is impossible for Dongfang Yun to leave that mess behind and come over. After becoming a Taoist couple, the two cannot be separated for a long time. Two places. I think your head shouldn't be in office for too long, she has to step down soon and leave with Dongfang Yun."

"what?"

Qiuqiu was just saying it in passing, but Shi'er really gave her a standard answer.

"Our head... want to change?"

This is great news!When the truth spread, the ground of Ziyu Pavilion would shake three times.

What a big deal it is to change the head. The current head is resigning. Then, who will be the next head?

Which real person is it?Which elder is it?Or is it a particularly talented disciple in the sect that the head of the Purple Jade Pavilion likes?

It should not be a senior sister or uncle who is too young, because being the master not only depends on talent and skills, but more importantly, connections and wrists.If you have amazing skills but can't control the various forces in the door, then you won't be in this position for long.

Qiuqiu was shocked by the news.The mood of gossip is gone.

Huo'er jumped out from nowhere and stood on her shoulder, holding a dried fruit from nowhere in his mouth.

Qiuqiu silently labeled it: Foodie Dragon.

"It just so happens that you're here, and I'll take you somewhere."

"where to?"

She thought that Shi'er wanted to go out for a walk with her, enjoy flowers or something, but Shi'er said, "Go to the forbidden area of ​​Ziyu Pavilion."

Qiuqiu's eyes widened.

Forbidden!

Even if it is only understood literally, a forbidden area is a place where entry is prohibited!

Since it is called a forbidden area, how can you enter it casually?

"It's okay, come with me."

He held out his hand.That hand looked flawless.

A voice in Qiuqiu's heart shouted "Don't be fooled", but her hands didn't seem to listen to her control.

She held Shi'er's hand.

Follow him forward.

I don't know why, when I'm with him, the things that were bound to her don't seem to be important anymore, it seems that he is the only one left in this world.

The thought of being with him overwhelmed all other concerns.

With him, she fears nothing.

Just like now.She felt that she could go anywhere with him.

Even the ends of the earth.

Even if the road is full of thorns.

It is said to be a forbidden place, but it is not as heavily organized as Qiuqiu imagined.There is not even a stone tablet in front of the door, with words such as trespasser death written on it.

This is just an ordinary yard——

It's just behind the yard where Shi'er settled down.

There was an old brass lock hanging on the gate of the courtyard. The lock was a double-heart lock that is not very popular now.That is to say, to open the lock.It requires two keys to be turned at the same time to open.

Shi'er didn't have many keys, so he stood in front of the door and looked at the lock.

Qiuqiu admits that the workmanship of this lock is quite exquisite.It's definitely not something you bought casually in a blacksmith shop outside, it must have been made by a famous craftsman, but without a key, it won't open automatically even if you look at it for 100 years.

Fortunately, Shi'er looked at it for a while and said, "Let's go in."

He didn't pull her through the door at all, but went straight over the wall.

Qiuqiu remembered that Huo'er also led her to climb over the wall of the room just now-the original source is here.

Does this mean that like a master, like a dragon?

Shi'er seems to be completely indifferent to some rules and regulations in this world.

He has his own set of rules.

Just like now, this is the forbidden area of ​​Ziyu Pavilion, and he is a distinguished guest invited by Ziyu Pavilion to watch the ceremony.But he broke into the forbidden area of ​​other sects so naturally, as casually as visiting his own backyard.

There are also three houses in the yard.The house is also very old.

This kind of old does not mean that the house has become a dilapidated building.In fact, there is a formation in the door, and the house will never be eroded and dilapidated over time like the houses that ordinary people live in.

It's... a feeling.

There is a feeling of emptiness here.

In addition, the flowers and trees growing in the yard have not been pruned and cared for for a long time, and they grow unrestrained. The grass has already flooded the road, and the branches have already penetrated into the window.

"This forbidden place..."

It's completely different from Qiuqiu's imagination.

Qiuqiu couldn't see how this place could be called a forbidden area at all.

There is nothing particularly beautiful and precious, nor is there any specific murderous intent.

So why was it banned?

"This is the last place where the first Patriarch of Ziyu Pavilion lived." Shi'er said, "She spent her last decades here."

what……

It turned out to be the case.

It is the former residence of the ancestors.

Qiuqiu was relieved.

The former residence of the patriarch is indeed very commemorative. It is not good for people to come in and make a mess.

Qiuqiu quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought that Shi'er was going to take her to steal things or something, although she said she would like to be a thief with him.But what she stole was something from her own sect, she was also very conflicted in her heart.

Fortunately, not to steal things.

If it was just for sightseeing, then she would have no psychological burden at all.

The door was not locked, and it opened with a slight push.

A gloomy atmosphere that had been dusty for a long time leaked out quietly.

The inside of the house was tidied up very elegantly, and it looked like a woman's residence.On the door leading to the inner room hangs a pair of ink and white silk hanging curtains. Between the bright colors of white silk and black ink, there is a touch of red, like the slanting reflection of the afterglow of the sunset.This bit of crimson immediately made the black and white vivid and real.

Qiuqiu suddenly had the illusion of traveling through time.It seems that they did not step into an ordinary courtyard door, but traveled through the years in between, and touched an existence long, long ago.

The patriarch used to live here, maybe she embroidered this curtain with her own hands.She used to walk lightly in the yard, and her hand brushed the curtain.Her voice still echoes here—even though she is no longer there, this room, everything in this room is a testimony of its existence.

They existed so quietly, as if they were waiting for her return.

Qiuqiu felt like shrinking back.

This is different from visiting the former residences of celebrities in the past.

I have visited many similar places in my previous life, but none of them felt the way I do now.

She has a slight sense of guilt for offending her seniors.

It was like trespassing into her boudoir without the owner's consent.It is a disrespectful behavior that offends the privacy of others.

Why did Shi'er bring her to see this?

Qiuqiu turned to look at him.

Although they didn't know each other for a long time, the two didn't have many specific conversations.But Qiuqiu felt that he was not someone who would do useless work.

He certainly didn't bring her here for relaxation or novelty, which has nothing to do with romance and leisure.

He must have a purpose.

"The Purple Jade Jue you practiced was created by this patriarch." Shi'er didn't have the same concerns as Qiuqiu, and he raised the curtain leading to the inner room.Signal Qiuqiu to step over.

"Her surname is Li, and her name is Xiaoyu. Later people called her Ziyu Zhenren." Shi'er told Qiuqiu calmly: "Her life experience was very tragic. She was persecuted by officers and soldiers when she was young, and her family was destroyed. .”

It was the first time Qiuqiu heard about this secret history of our sect.

No one in the door has ever mentioned this past event.Maybe many people don't know it at all, or maybe they know it and keep silent for various reasons.

"What then?"

"She is both talented in sex and art. She became an oiran, and someone took her out of the brothel. She was also taught the method of cultivation, but that person's teacher couldn't tolerate someone like her, and the two were forced to separate."

Shi'er's tone was flat, but in a few words, Qiuqiu could hear the infinite sorrow and helplessness.

"Ziyu real person gradually became famous. She named the place where she lived Ziyu Pavilion, and took in many disciples who had the same special physique as her and struggled to survive. She met a fierce enemy, and that person was entangled. Many helpers came to fight against her. The foundation of Ziyu Pavilion was shallow at that time. Apart from Master Ziyu, none of the other disciples could stand up to her. At this time, the person who separated from her in the past came forward to save her. Also saved Ziyu Pavilion."

"But that person died. Master Ziyu was also seriously injured. She entrusted her disciples to take care of the affairs and lived here until her death."

Qiuqiu was very depressed.

Master Ziyu has never had a good day.Her life experience was miserable, she met a beloved man to save her from the prostitution, and then she was beaten with a stick.Waiting for her sweetheart to come to rescue her at the moment of life and death, this sounds like the rhythm of a happy ending, right?But the sweetheart died to save her.

Who can bear such a thing?

At the same time, Qiuqiu can also be sure that Shi'er really has no talent for storytelling, it can suffocate a person to death.Such a tragic, tortuous and lingering love-hate story was told so plainly and boring by him, it was not exciting at all.

"Then...then what are we doing here?" It's definitely not just to commemorate the ill-fated Master Ziyu.

"Ziyu Zhenren is a very remarkable person. The Ziyu Jue created by her has been misunderstood and criticized by the world, but the world doesn't really understand the mystery of the Ziyu Jue. They only regard it as a method of double cultivation and even think it is a charm. techniques, sex techniques in the room." Shi'er said lightly: "The final perfection of the Ziyu Jue was after the real Ziyu lived here and was seriously injured. How could she have the mood to write a charm or magic trick at that time? Is it prostitution?"

Surely not.

Put yourself in the situation and think about it, your lover is dead, and your days are numbered, how should Master Ziyu feel?

How could you have the mood to do that kind of thing? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
