Taiping Inn

Xuannv Sect, Jadenv Mountain.

There is a stream at the foot of the mountain, which is clear and smooth pebbles at the bottom of the water can be seen. It is said that there will be no fish when the water is clear, but this stream is an exception. Not only are there fish, but there are shrimps and crabs, but they are not big. The fish are not big carp, but Lingxi small fish, and shrimps are Shrimps and crabs are just as big as wine cups.

It was winter and the stream was cold, but at this time, two women, one big and one small, took off their shoes and socks, stood barefoot in the stream, bent down to catch fish. The girl was obviously unfamiliar with her skills, and she let the little fish slip through her fingers several times. Even if the blind cat hit a dead mouse, she lost her hands because she slipped. Older women should be much more skillful in their skills, and they can gain something every time they make a move, and then throw them into small wooden barrels on the shore one by one.

After more than half an hour, the girl exclaimed and suddenly lifted her hand. She saw that her index finger was caught by a small crab, but it could be regarded as her first harvest today.

The older woman smiled and said, "Okay, come up."

The girl then walked out of the stream, not wiping her feet and wearing shoes, but sat on a large smooth bluestone by the stream.

The older woman still stood in the stream and reached out to lightly point it. I saw layers of ripples rippling in the stream, and then a little bit of water droplets flew up, drawing a landscape picture between the two of them.

The girl looked at this strange scene and asked curiously: "Senior Sister, what is this?"

"This is the magic of my Xuannv Sect, called 'Mirror Flowers and Water Moon'. This is just an extremely superficial application. Do you want to learn it?" The older woman smiled gently.

The girl focuses on the key points.

The older woman began to explain the key points of this technique to the young girl with a gentle voice.

If you look closely, the older woman's eyes have been closed. Even if you open it occasionally, it seems that there is a layer of darkness and grayness on her eyes. Poor such a beautiful woman is actually a blind man.

After explaining about half an hour, the girl was a very talented and intelligent person. She had already understood everything. The rest was to spend time practicing and practicing, so the older woman stopped nagging.

The girl pointed to the small wooden barrel and asked in a low voice: "Senior sister, can you raise these fish?"

The older woman was in nodding and nodded, "Of course, I put someone in your yard with a large glass tank and prepared to plant some lotus flowers in it. I just put these small fish in it, which complemented each other."

The girl's eyes lit up, but soon she was depressed, and her smile nodded reluctantly.

Although the older woman was blind, her heart was bright and she asked softly: "Why, do you think of your brother again?"

The girl nodded.

The older woman sighed, "He is a person who refuses to remain at peace. The current situation cannot help but seek peace. He just had a big battle in Zhongzhou and was about to rush to Qizhou again without stopping. Now he has arrived. Where, if something happens in the middle of the journey, maybe I have to go to another prefecture to go to another prefecture.”

The girl elongated her tone and said "Oh".

The older woman sat cross-legged beside the girl and said softly: "Li Zi's plan is far away, and the plan is big, and he is a person with great ambitions. Yan Feiqing and others are just maintaining the respect of one family and one surname, one school and one school. The prosperity of Li Zifu is to save the world and the people. The two realms are no longer at the same level.”

"Realm?" the girl said in confusion.

"Realm." The older woman smiled and said, "The 'realm' here does not mean the level of cultivation, but the idea."

The older woman gently tapped her forehead with her slender fingers and continued, "A person's thoughts are high and low, and what he thinks is for thought, so the 'reality' I mentioned is for thought. Realm. How can such a state be divided into high and low? Some people only look at their own acre of land, not the nineteen states in the world, and some people only look at the two or three years in front of them, not the hundred years behind them. This is the difference between high and low. ”

The girl seemed to understand it but not.

The older woman said to herself, "Seven or eight years ago, the realm of the Zifu Sword Immortal who was eager to revenge was not much higher. She would not even care about Yan Feiqing, who was from one surname to another, but since Tianbaoyuan After he met Zhang Suqing in 2008, he became a different person. He used his sword to kill people, but his intention was to save people. The sword path was a killing technique, but only by killing could he stop killing. In the words of Su Yunba, this is thunderbolt The method of practicing the heart of the Bodhisattva is a great realm.”

The girl still didn't understand, but she understood one thing, that was that her senior sister was praising her brother, so she felt sincere happiness, and her eyes were crescent.

The older woman reached out and rubbed her little head, and smiled and said, "So you have to learn your skills well. When you get down the mountain in the future, you can help him, instead of being protected by him like before. .”

The girl focuses on the key points.

The older woman got up from the big bluestone, put on her shoes and socks, and at the same time she covered her eyes with a black gauze.

The girl couldn't help asking, "Senior Sister, why do you always have a black veil on your eyes?"

The woman was a little stunned and then explained: "When I just injured my eyes, I had to apply medicine on my eyes. After applying the medicine, I covered it with a layer of gauze to fix it. Over time, it became a habit, especially in front of me. At the time, you must always blindfold your eyes with a black veil. Just like us women, whether they are already married or not, although the styles of their hair buns are different, they must not be disguised and radiated to meet people. This is rude. The same is true for black veil. If you don’t have it, it feels like you’re not dressing up, and you’re really not used to it.”

"So that's how it is." The girl suddenly realized.

Yu Qingning smiled gently and said, "Put on your shoes quickly, otherwise you will miss dinner today. If I remember correctly, we should eat steamed cod tonight. If you go too late, you won't even have half of the fish head left."

Zhou Shuning quickly put on her embroidered shoes, jumped off the big bluestone, and followed Yu Qingning.

The two climbed slowly along the path in the mountains. The little girl's pace was a little slower, so Yu Qingning deliberately slowed down and waited for her for a while.

Zhou Shuning smiled gratefully at Yu Qingning.

During the time in Xuannv Sect, although she still missed her brother, she had to admit that her sister was a good person, a very good person. If her brother was like her father, then her sister was like her mother. Sometimes, she even had wild thoughts, if her brother, sister, and she, the three of them could be together forever, but she also knew that this idea was a bit "treasonous". As the future leader of Xuannv Sect, how could her sister marry? She had to maintain her chastity for the sect, but any married woman could not be the leader of Xuannv Sect. So she never mentioned this idea to anyone, not even her sister.

Thinking of this, the little girl sighed in a mature manner.

Since Yu Qingning became blind, her hearing has become better than before. This extremely slight sigh naturally could not be hidden from her ears, so she asked: "Shuning, why are you sighing?"

The little girl was like a thief caught in the act, stammering: "No, I didn't sigh, I spit."

Yu Qingning smiled slightly and didn't expose her. After all, girls of this age always have to be careful. She said: "Girls can't spit randomly, it's rude."

The little girl nodded quickly: "Yes, senior sister."

The two continued to climb the mountain.

"Sister?"

"What's wrong?"

"You said that brother is going to do great things, so what are great things?"

"Great things... great things are to prevent people from starving to death."

"Is it that simple?"

"Simple? That's not simple. It's a very difficult thing. Think about it. How many people are there in this world? There must be tens of millions of people, right? One person eats two steamed buns a day. How many steamed buns do so many people eat a day? What about a month? How much food is needed for a year? If it is piled up into a mountain, will it be higher than our Jade Maiden Mountain?"

"This... is so difficult. Can brother do it?"

"You have to do something before you know whether it can be done. Isn't your brother doing it now?"

"That's right. Sister, you have also done great things, right?"

"I have, but unfortunately I went in the wrong direction. The more I do, the more mistakes I make."

"Sister, it's okay. My father taught me that knowing one's mistakes and improving them is the greatest."

"Yes." Yu Qingning was distracted and murmured, "There is no greater kindness."
