[Xianjian + Ancient Sword Colleague] Being a master is also a kind of practice

At night, the last twilight of sunset glow in the sky was quietly annihilated, sweeping across the entire sky in an instant.The silent ink color was smudged, only a few stars leaked out in the inconspicuous places, dotted the night sky.Tranquility spread unknowingly throughout the entire Tianyong City, and the majesty of the day turned into black shadows in the night, making it look more and more cold.

At such a quiet moment, there was still a faint yellow light in the stone house of the sword-wielding elder on the sword sacrificial platform. If someone listened carefully, they could even hear faint conversations.

"Bai Ling, I can't figure out how to replenish the soul in your body. I can only hope that the other elders in Tianyong City will come up with a remedy. I will also go After careful inspection in the treasury, there may be another turning point." Sitting on the chair, Murong Ziying frowned and said, "Fortunately, Tianyong City in Kunlun Mountain is a place where the world's clean energy is at its peak. The soul is also of great benefit, I will tell the head tomorrow, choose a place to be quiet with you, and stay in the door temporarily. As for the matter of Wumeng Linggu, you don't have to worry too much, I will not stand idly by .”

Shen Bailing was staring at the flickering lights on the table in a daze, when he heard him say this, he raised his eyes and said softly: "Ziying, you don't have to be like this..."

Murong Ziying interrupted him with a slight shake of her head, and said in a deep voice: "Tianhe and Lingsha have passed away long ago, and Mengli also disappeared with the Illusory Darkness Realm. My best friend, you are the only one left now. We practice Taoism In order to help the world and save people, you can't ignore the lives of ordinary people, let alone your close friends?"

Hearing his sincerity in his tone, Shen Bailing couldn't help showing gratitude in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Ziying...thank you."

Hearing this, Murong Ziying's face was still calm, but there was a flash of embarrassment in his eyes. He hurriedly moved his eyes away from Shen Bailing's gaze, and after a while, he coughed lightly and said: " It's getting late, let's go to rest earlier." Then he got up and walked to the inner room.

Shen Bailing was stunned for a moment, and at a glance, he saw that although his face was indifferent and solemn, the ears protruding from the silver-white hair had already been dyed pink, so he couldn't help but smile secretly.After so many years, the young man back then has become more stable and rigorous than before, but his shy temperament is still exactly the same as before...

After a long time, the light printed on the window finally went out, and the room fell into darkness.Shen Bailing lay sideways on the couch, his mind was in a mess for a while, and it was difficult to sleep. As soon as he closed his eyes, the past surged up like an overwhelming mountain.After a long time, the feeling of joy and sadness in his chest finally faded away, and a very light breath came into his ears suddenly close at hand.

The warm breath swallowed and exhaled, gently touching the neck.The person beside him seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, and his breath was very steady and long.Shen Bailing listened quietly for a while, and suddenly felt a throbbing in his heart, and suddenly felt that he had returned to that stormy night hundreds of years ago...

That night, they also fell asleep together, and the young man lay beside him, taking long, shallow breaths, inexplicably calming his heart down.

Ziying...he has always been like this, so that he can feel at ease...

As Shen Bailing thought about it, a slight smile appeared on his lips.Suddenly, I heard a slight snort in my ears, and then Murong Ziying's cold voice came: "Why aren't you sleeping?"

"... I remembered some past events." Shen Bailing smiled softly after a while.

Xu Shi could hear the smile in his words, Murong Ziying paused for a moment before saying: "Could it be that you and I traveled overseas together that year and shared a room and a bed on the boat?"

"...Ziying really knows my heart." Shen Bailing couldn't help but feel a little heat on his face when he was guessed, and said with a smile, "It was just like now..."

Murong Ziying remained silent for a long time, and said: "The sea is extremely stormy, not as quiet as Tianyong City, but..." After a pause, she continued in a low voice, "I miss that time even more..."

Shen Bailing smiled bitterly and said: "At that time, the bed was not as spacious as it is now, and I only met you for the first time. I was afraid that you would occupy the entire bed that night, and I would drink the sea breeze outside all night. Falling asleep..." As he spoke, he laughed again, "But when I think about it now, it was actually one of the few joyous moments in my life..."

This situation is no different from that of the past, but after all, 400 years have passed in between.Even though the person next to him looks the same as when he was a teenager, after hundreds of years of personnel affairs, his mood is already different.But even so, that person will still be delighted by the return of his old friend, and saddened by the tragedy of his old friend...

Ziying, if you are irresistible like you in life, what more can I ask for?

After being silent for a moment, Shen Bailing suddenly remembered something again, turned over to Murong Ziying and asked in a low voice: "Ziying, I forgot to ask you something. How did you come to Tianyong City and become an elder here? "

In the darkness, Murong Ziying slowly replied: "It's a long story... After the fall of the Qionghua Sect, I became a monk and became a Taoist. With my hands, I lived in seclusion alone in the forbidden area, while studying the art of making swords, and at the same time devoted myself to practicing according to various cultivation methods in the forbidden area. Because I couldn't bear to see those swords in the sword forest exposed to the wilderness all day long, I simply took them with me for many years. The obtained swords were properly placed in the stone room of the forbidden area. Since then, I have renamed the forbidden area the Sword Tomb."

"Sword Tomb..." Shen Bailing muttered, smiling, "Ziying is a person who knows swords and loves swords, so it's only natural that she lives in Sword Tomb."

"The so-called 'Kunlun is thousands of meters long, and I don't know the sun and the moon'. This is probably the case. Living in seclusion in Jianzhong, the years around me seem to be far away from people... Unknowingly, more than a hundred years have passed, and I can be regarded as the first glimpse Immortal, after successful practice, he traveled all over the world, and accidentally met the sixth generation head of Tianyong City. Because he respected him as a person, he was invited to worship Tianyong City. Thanks to the headmaster, he was given the position of elder holding the sword. Besides, on weekdays, I just teach my disciples how to control the sword, and forge some weapons in my spare time, 300 years... has passed very quickly." Murong Ziying said with a slight sigh.

Shen Bailing stared blankly at the darkness in front of him, and listening to Murong Ziying's indifferent narration, he became insane before he knew it.In the hundreds of years past, there are only a few words in his mouth, which shows the loneliness and loneliness of these years.In contrast, it is a blessing that I, who has been wandering in the muddle for hundreds of years, only lived for another 20 years as Baili Wushang.

In the silence, neither of them spoke again. After a while, they could only hear the shallow breathing nearby touching their necks again. Shen Bailing lay on his side silently, and finally sighed silently in the darkness. A note.

After sleeping like this for one night, Shen Bailing got up early in the morning of the second day, and was sitting in the outer room talking with Murong Ziying, when suddenly a red shadow came in from the outside, looked up, and saw the man with a jade face Vermilion lips, dressed in red, holding a long white object in her arms, which one is it if it's not red jade?

She walked up to Shen Bailing with a smile, and said to him: "Young Master Shen, what do you think this is?" Before she finished speaking, she gently and skillfully placed the thing in her arms horizontally on the table.

Shen Bailing looked sideways, and saw that the thing was only about three feet long, tightly wrapped by a piece of white cloth, before reaching out to touch it, he felt a strong sword intent rushing towards him, this breath was so familiar, as if flowing in his body The real power is average.He suddenly realized, with a smile on his face, he stood up and said to Hongyu, "I have troubled you to fetch the spring water for me, Shen Bailing thank you here." He bowed his hands deeply as he spoke.

"Young Master Shen, you don't need to thank me." The smile on Hong Yudan's lips grew stronger, she glanced sideways, and said with a smile, "If you want to thank me, why not thank the master. If he didn't ask me to come here early in the morning Go to Jianzhong, how can you see Chunshui at this time?"

Shen Bailing followed her gaze and looked at Murong Ziying who was sitting on the side drinking tea. The silver-haired Daoist didn't look sideways, but concentrated on the cup in his hand. That's all."

Shen Bailing couldn't wait to open the cloth bag, and sure enough, there was a flash of crystal light in front of his eyes, and he saw a bright and translucent fairy sword lying on the soft cloth, and the faint blue light on the edge of the sword flowed endlessly like a bloom of water, it was his spring water.

Finally meeting its master again after many years, Chunshui Sword was also very excited. Hearing a clear and long chant, Chunshui jumped up from the table and flew higher and higher around Shen Bailing. After circling for several weeks, it gradually fell and slowly hung in front of the master.Shen Bailing stretched out his right hand to grasp the hilt of the sword, turned his wrist slightly, and a bright light flickered on the sword body. After the floating light fell silent, his face gradually became clear on the inch-wide sword body, and Shen Bailing looked at it with pity. , couldn't help stretching out his left hand to gently rub the blade.

After a while, there was only a soft "click", and it was Murong Ziying who put the teacup on the table.He stood up and said to Shen Bailing, who was still stroking the spring water endlessly: "It's not early, let's go meet the real master right now."

Shen Bailing responded, put the Chunshui sword back into the scabbard, and then walked out the door together with him.

After leaving the Sword Sacrifice Platform, walk along a wide stone road, passing by numerous halls, towers and pavilions, all of which are chiseled out of blue-black rocks and decorated with bronze.If it is said that the Qionghua School is full of green grass, a hundred flowers are blooming, the seasons are like spring, and it is full of vitality, then Tianyong City will give people a cold feeling. Apart from the cold bronze, the hard black rock is the hard black rock. The lotus is all made of bronze.Shen Bailing faintly noticed that there were no other plants in the city, and the only life force was the pine tree that grew its twigs in the crevices of the stones on the sword sacrificial platform.

Walking and admiring all the way, passed Ziguan Bell Tower, climbed thousands of stone steps, and finally came to a tall building pavilion, Shen Bailing looked up, and saw a huge bronze plaque under the eaves of the pavilion, with three seal characters written on the forehead, which looked simple and transparent Show a little solemnity.

Only then did Murong Ziying open her mouth and said, "This is the Lintian Pavilion where the head of the sect usually manages."
