smile to heart

=====================

When he bumped into an acquaintance, Qi Zhong felt a lot more relaxed, just under the tree, while fanning the wind with his hands, he chatted with Luo Qingchen on the tree.

"Senior brother, you don't know that there was a sudden thick fog in the forest over there just now, and I couldn't even see the road. Fortunately, with the guidance of your flute, I found the direction and ran out."

Luo Qingchen smiled and said nothing, and did not get down from the tree, his gaze was slightly mocking, hidden in the night, blurred.

Being in his own teacher's school, Qi Zhong didn't doubt this strange thing too much, only when he encountered extreme weather, complained to Luo Qingchen for a while, and found that the other party didn't pay much attention to him, he faintly felt that something was wrong.

He raised his head again and asked, "Oh, that's right. Brother Luo, it's midnight, why didn't you go back to this tree?"

Laughing twice, Luo Qingchen calmly said: "Me? I'll come out to see the moonlight. The moon in Changting is the roundest moon I've ever seen."

"Oh. That's true." Qi Zhong dispelled his doubts and nodded in agreement, "It's a coincidence that my master always likes to say that, but aren't all the moons under the sky the same round?"

Luo Qingchen originally didn't want to talk to him anymore, but when he heard what his teacher had said, his heart suddenly felt sore, and he let out a faint "hmm" in frustration.

Qi finally saw that his figure was slightly stiff, and he seemed to be half thinking, but his fingers were twirling a bamboo flute nimbly.

"Uh, Senior Brother Luo, that flute of yours is quite cleverly made, and the tone it plays is clear and pleasant. Have you been practicing for a long time?"

Luo Qingchen came back to his senses, and raised his eyes proudly: "It didn't take long, this thing is quite easy to learn, and when you're in a bad mood, you can brag about it to relieve boredom."

"Oh. Can senior brother Luo teach me? I live in the cold cave these days, and I'm almost moldy. I'm so bored."

Hearing that he was interested in this, Luo Qingchen was even more speechless, thinking: An ignorant slob, born with a wooden head...

While disdainful of slander, while smiling bluntly, Luo Qingchen readily agreed: "Okay, here are a few sheet music, you can take them back and practice first, if you don't understand during the day, come here to ask me at this time at night .”

He took out the music score from his pocket, and threw the flute to Qi Zhong by the way.

Seeing Luo Qingchen being so generous, Qi Zhong happily went to catch the two items, and thanked with a smile: "Thank you, brother, thank you..."

Before Xie Yu finished speaking, Qi Zhong looked up and saw that there was no one on the tree.

He wondered for a moment, and said to himself: "It's strange. Why does this person always walk away so quietly...

A few days later, on the night of the full fifteenth month.

Chang Ting slept soundly in the quiet moonlight as usual, except that there were gentle footsteps and intermittent conversations coming from a remote corridor.

It wasn't until the door of the other courtyard was gently closed that the voices gradually disappeared.Luo Qingchen followed closely, and after Lin Tang and the others walked into the side door, he paused for a while, wrapped his black clothes more tightly, found a wall, and quietly turned inside.

Under the moonlight, Qi Yuxing and Lin Tang stood quietly by the lakeside of Luoyue Lake, looking at the sparkling water waves blown by the evening wind on the lake.

Lin Tang saw that his senior brother had a slightly worried look on his face, and his tone became quite serious.

"The seven constellations have appeared, and the stars and the moon are clearly visible. Tonight should be a good time to see Zhao."

"Brother, the celestial phenomenon you occupied five years ago has already shown its signs. In the past year, strange things have happened in various fairy houses in Shangjiang, and the recent disappearance of monks is even more bizarre. If this time... …It’s still the hexagram, then…”

Qi Yuxing knew what was the result of what he hadn't finished speaking, so he put on his crutches and his expression became slightly condensed.

"Junior brother, if this is the case, you and I may not see Tongjiang's future."

"If it's true according to what you have said, the end of the world is coming, and we have no way to save this disaster, then..." Lin Tang's tone became a little more anxious.

Qi Yuxing raised his hand to signal him not to be distracted, and then calmly comforted him: "Junior Brother, please rest assured for now. The person from Jiugai Mountain must care more about this matter than you and I."

"Disasters that have been foreshadowed for a long time are unavoidable, but man will conquer the sky. Even if you and I can't turn the tide, there are still future generations to carry forward the past, not to mention the foreshadowing of opportunities that have been revealed recently. Let's take advantage of this celestial phenomenon to get a glimpse of early warning."

Although Lin Tang was relieved by him, he still couldn't bear to say: "But these children are still young, if any disaster happens, how can they bear it?"

"What came out of the vision tonight is the identity of the savior. Maybe the gap between the child you think of and this person is just a necessary training."

"This..." Lin Tang stopped talking for a while, as if he knew that no amount of worry and guessing would be useless before the situation was settled, so he settled down and waited with his senior brother for the moment when the secret would emerge.

The moment when the bell rang suddenly.

The water in Jingyue Lake suddenly became very clear, calm like a mirror, and the moonlight was melted on the water surface, giving off a faint luster.A round and bright ink painting gradually appeared in the center of the light, and the painting was a peaceful and harmonious human scene.

Xianlin Qingping, the years are quiet and good, no matter who is in such a peaceful Tongjiang, peace of mind.

Lin and Tang quietly watched this bright scene, their frowns suddenly eased.

The aura of moonlight continued to spread to the lake, and the aperture slowly turned like a sundial.The black and white of ink and wash gradually turns into vivid and dynamic scenes, colorful and full of vitality.

"This is Tongjiang now." Qi Yuxing said emotionally.

Lin Tang nodded, and said, "It's indeed a prosperous age, Haiyan and Heqing."

"Unfortunately, this kind of peace won't last long..."

As soon as Qi Yuxing finished speaking, the lake light suddenly became strange, the light yellow halo suddenly turned into a thick black red, and the scene in the center also changed suddenly.

Lin Tang glanced over, and saw that the day on the water painting instantly turned into night. Under the extremely depressing night, the lights of thousands of houses were brightly lit, and the city of lights was like day, but it started from a black spot in the center of the lake and slowly spread. The black elements released, like a poisonous mist, gradually enveloped the entire picture, and the lights that the eyes saw were eroded by the darkness, and extinguished one by one...

In the end, Tongjiang only presented a lifeless scene where the sky and the earth were the same color, and the five fingers could not be seen, and there was no more life.

"Could this be..." Lin Tang watched the scene in shock.

Qi Yuxing's expression was serious: "The catastrophe is on the verge, and there is no power to return to heaven."

"Then, why hasn't the savior appeared yet?" Lin Tang asked again.

Qi Yuxing pondered for a moment, then looked at the darkness not far away.

The surface of the black water-sinking lake suddenly became clear, and the golden moonlight flowed, concentrating on the center of the lake again, turning the light continuously. After a while, an unopened nasturtium flower appeared on the surface of the lake.

Seeing that the time was right, Qi Yuxing waved the green jade stick in his hand, sprinkled a green light, and urged the lotus to bloom, blooming a picture scroll of whiteness.

Lin Tang took a closer look, and saw the back of a young man with long hair tied up and hands behind his back on the scroll, standing happily under a tung blossom forest humming, as if he was waiting for someone.

Lin Tang's frown deepened with such a leisurely look...

Suddenly, the boy turned around abruptly, showing a pure and kind smiling face behind him, and said with a slightly teasing smile: "Haha. Come here."

……

"Why is he?!"

Lin Tang was taken aback by the young man's face. He thought he was wrong, rubbed his eyes, and wanted to confirm again, but the golden lotus withered quickly.

Glancing at the senior brother next to him, he, who has always been steady and calm, seemed to be surprised for a moment, his brows were furrowed, and he fell into deep thought.

The two of them never thought that the savior of the world would be Qi Yuxing's closed disciple, a Qi Zhong who was always doing nothing but acting like a gangster.

Even Luo Qingchen, who was lurking in the corner of the eaves and peeping, almost laughed in disdain when he saw this scene. Such a fact is obviously ridiculous.

"Could it be a mistake? How could this kid, Qi Zhong..."

After the shock, Lin Tang analyzed rationally.

"not him."

Qi Yuxing categorically denied it, and then said: "He is just an introduction, and the real savior is the person who did not show up behind him."

With such a reminder, Lin Tang suddenly remembered Qi Zhong's words, "You are here." He calmed down a bit.

"Then... who is this person? This kid has been staying in Changting all day, where will he go to meet the savior?"

"Maybe it's just that the time has not come." Qi Yuxing said without changing his face, but he glanced at the corner of the eaves from the corner of his eye.

"How about..." Lin Tang was about to say something more, but he saw his senior brother wave the jade stick in his hand, and a beam of light passed across his eyes and landed on the edge of the side eaves.

Lin Tang realized in an instant that the exposed black clothes at the corner of the eaves told him that the conversation just now had been overheard.

He was furious and shouted, "Who is it?"

Luo Qingchen knew that he had lost the opportunity to spy, so he didn't want to reveal his identity, and quickly fled Jingyue Lake after he realized it.

"Don't chase." Qi Yuxing quickly stopped Lin Tang who was about to run, "The matter of tonight can't get out, or it will cause unnecessary panic."

"But he already knew..."

"Know what? Is there any truth in the conversation you and I just had?"

"So... Qi Zhong, this kid..."

"God's will is not clear, and the responsibility of saving the world is the duty of everyone, and it cannot be reversed by a single person."

"It seems that the variables in this secret are not so easy to speculate. Should we keep concealing this?" Lin Tang asked.

Qi Yuxing thought for a while, and said: "Before the person who was spying just now, delete words and sentences, and report to Jiugai Mountain."

Lin Tang suddenly understood: "Are you replacing light and dark? Are you suspecting that the person just now is actually..."

"I don't know who he is. But there is no shortage of people with evil intentions in Xinjiang. If it is difficult to keep a secret, you might as well let this secret be announced to the world in another way."

"Then I'll edit a book right away and report the truth to the Immortal Venerable." Lin Tang started to do it after learning what Qi Yuxing meant.

But as soon as the two of them pushed open the courtyard door, a disciple hurriedly communicated from outside the corridor.

"Master, Uncle..., Jiugai Mountain Immortal has an urgent order!"

Lin Tang took the golden letter and spread it out to read with Qi Yuxing. The content on it made both of them frowned, and they both fell silent for a moment.
