Chapter 15 cut candle

There is strong rain and strong wind on the mountainside, and the wind and sunshine on the mountainside are like two heavens. Qimin Villa was built in the middle of the mountain, almost hollowing out half of the mountain, like a hermit crab entrenched in the mountain.There are about dozens of houses built against the mountain, and the rest open up the mountainside with winding paths leading directly to the heart of Qimin Mountain. It is warm in winter and cool in summer, which is extremely comfortable. Everyone got off their horses at Zhuangkou, and walked in along the incense path paved with pine needles orchid leaves.Qionglou Yuyu, Feige Liudan, all the buildings were built by Master Biyue's master Bailu.After the old man attended the meeting of ten masters once, he was replaced by Biyue, and the subsequent supervision and construction were all completed by Biyue on behalf of the teacher.While visiting the scenery of the villa, Ziyan listened to the gossip and allusions. The endless landscapes and the endless excitement made her eyes and ears want to fight, and she was addicted to thinking about it first.

I heard that every time Biyue came back to the villa, she would add a few wonderful scenes and build a few organs. Ziyan was very excited and asked Xihua to inquire with his apprentice, so that he could see it carefully with his own eyes. Yanhua smiled and said, "You want to learn this, and you want to see that too. There are eight elites in total, are you busy?" Zi Yan looked earnest and said: "Good sister, I don't know so many people at once, I need you to help me get close one by one." "Don't call me elder sister, who said you must be younger than me? It's no good if you call me. It's just a novelty. If you want to steal a teacher and learn a skill, you have to spend money. I can't give you all my spices as favors. Think about what you can do to be filial to others, and then open your mouth to bargain, and don't think about me all day long."

Ziyan pulled her sleeves and said affectionately: "Sister Yuhua, you count me as half a master, who can help me but you? You are so beautiful, those old men and young men must eat everything, better than me It’s much better. Well, I’m also reluctant to give you the spices, at worst, I’ll change all their looks for them, as handsome as you want, how about it?” Yanhua laughed so hard that she didn't have the strength to scold him, and said: "Be careful that the old men throw you out!" Seeing his clever face, knowing that he was moved by his words again, she sighed, "Forget it, I'll accompany you Fight wits and courage with them, abduct interesting things along the way, and go back to coax the younger sisters."

The field of vision in the eaves of the secluded forest suddenly widened.Greenery and red calyx, brocade barriers stretching across the sky, slantingly flow down into a stream, black and white stones are strewn with each other, like a chessboard confrontation between heaven and earth.The wonderful thing is that the mountains and mist gather in the sky above, and the clouds and smoke are like silk, swaying and swaying leisurely. After enjoying its beauty, it dances to other places with its graceful and graceful figure. Yu Yang pointed to the one-story house with white walls and black tiles by the stream, and said: "This is the Qinglian Courtyard, which is used by the masters for daily living. The Patriarch of Youshi held a banquet in the Tingfeng Pavilion to surprise you all. Please come in with me to rest first. , take a shower and change clothes."

Zi Yan looked up, the other buildings in the village were all resplendent and resplendent, and this one alone was like a small family of jasper, without a hint of wealth and nobility.When I entered the courtyard, I saw blue lotus flowers were planted in the pond with a size of three or four acres. Although it was March weather, it was already in full bloom.The flowers are as big as buckets, the green cover is like clouds, and the fragrance is fragrant. Standing by the pool, you will feel bursts of fragrance entering your orifice, and your mind will be swayed. Yuhua was overjoyed, snickered to herself, and whispered to Ziyan, "This kind of green lotus seed has a strange fragrance. If you eat it, it will make your skin like jade and give you a delicate fragrance."

Ziyan smiled and said, "So it's not spices." Yanhua said: "Food is also very important! Besides, it can beautify your skin. You and I come to steal more at night." Ziyan frowned, and said: "I...can't swim "Yu Hua shouted: "What?" The shout became louder, and Yu Yang turned around and said, "What is your order, master?" Not too bad." In each house of Qinglian Courtyard, there are icicles and pearl tassels, and the brocade pier is short, and the furnishings are extremely elegant.Zi Yan entered her room, and saw a beech wood carved poem and painting bed, with newly picked crape myrtle planted on the head of the bed, colorful and charming.His luggage has been placed on the mahogany six-legged cloud dragon pattern round table, and there are some changes of clothes beside him, Ziyan picks it up and looks at it, the materials are all expensive palace silk, it is true that Ying Ningzi is generous.

After taking a bath, Yuhua changed into a peach red Lu silk jacket. Her fresh and pleasant appearance complemented the simple elegance of Qinglian Yuan.Just after noon, Yu Yang sent someone to bring food. She thought it was too boring to eat alone, anyway, it was still early, so she brought it to eat with Zi Yan.Seeing that she was dressed in plain clothes, Ziyan knew that she had seen Qingluan's gorgeous clothes and she had the idea of ​​comparison, so she smiled and said: "The clothes are not as good as people, but this appearance can still be saved." I don't want to rely on you to be easy."

The two talked and laughed, and had a very pleasant meal.With nothing else to do, Zi Yan said: "Why don't you go and see what Fu Chuanhong is doing." He hit it off with him, left the bowl and chopsticks and rushed to the next room. Fu Chuanhong was poisoned yesterday, and now he is tired from the journey, and he is weak and sleepy, half lying on the concubine Xiang's couch.Yanhua didn't make a sound, and stretched out her hand, and there was an invigorating fragrance from the green bracelet, which made Fu Chuanhong very happy. "What kind of aroma is this?"

"The fragrance of rosemary from the West Sea." "Sow the beautiful grasses of the western capital, responding to the radiance of youth. The flowing green leaves are on the slender branches, and the tiny roots are on the dandelion..." Fu Chuanhong couldn't help but groaned a few words, staring straight at the tangled green stem He hesitated and said, "Can you give it to me?" He spread his hands, "What do you want in exchange?" Fu Chuanhong said happily, "How about I make a painting for you?" He said, "It's not rare. You tore and repainted after painting, didn't you destroy me? Don't do it."

Fu Chuanhong stammered: "I... no, I must paint well and never destroy the painting easily." He has always cherished his feathers, and he does not want his subordinates to release defective products. Whenever he sees something wrong with his works, he immediately destroys them completely to prevent them from being circulated.He had seen Ziyan and her paintings painted by him after the disguise, they were clearly divine works, but he deliberately sought perfection so that the two of them could not collect that good painting, thinking of it, he felt a pity. Zi Yan chuckled, and said to Fu Chuanhong: "Chuanhong, it's rare for me to change my appearance last time. Sister Yuhua has the opportunity to dress up as a man. Well, if you can redraw the scene when you first met us yesterday, I will paint it for you. The bracelet begs."

Fu Chuanhong said: "What's so difficult about this?" Immediately he took out his brush, ink and plain silk to draw.At this time, Fu Chuanhong is full of affection, and his writing is as if there is a divine help.At first, Yuhua refused to look at it, but later saw that he had sketched Ziyan's daughter's body, which was really fake and no different from the real one, so she couldn't help but take a closer look. In the painting, the purple face with double buns is delicate and pretty, standing in the front right, with a pure and charming jade face.Yan Hua is a handsome young man, standing behind him with his face turned slightly to one side, thoughtful as if forgetting something. "Yeah." Jihua couldn't help praising her. One day later, Fu Chuanhong's painting was not inferior to the previous one, and even surpassed it. "Here, this is for you." The rosemary bracelet was put on Fu Chuanhong's wrist, and the scent made him smile. In Youshi, Yu Yang was waiting at the gate of the courtyard. Every time a division came, a girl in colorful clothes would lead it to Tingfeng Pavilion.Zi Yan, Yu Hua, and Fu Chuanhong were the last to arrive again, and Yu Yang personally led the way, passing through flowers and stones, and finally arrived at the place. The Tingfeng Pavilion is three stories high, carved like a piece of precious jade, the whole building is integrated, and the light is magnificent.Everyone sat on the top floor, watching the green cliffs turn into vast wild rocks in the night, watching the boats coming and going on the vast blue waves from a distance, the wind is blowing, the mood is comfortable, and they feel like they are in heaven without knowing it. Yang Azi, a musician, Danmei, a craftsman, Biyue, a craftsman, Biyue, a geomancy master, Jiaojing, a physician, Chuanhong, a painter, Qingluan, a weaver and embroiderer, Yuhua, a fragrance maker, Ziyan, a disguiser, and nine The masters gathered, but the solo mage still disappeared.Yu Yang waited for the nine people to sit down in the chairs with rose comb backs one by one, and then invited Ning Zi, the master of Qi Min Mountain. Among them, Fu Chuanhong, Qingluan, Yuhua, and Ziyan all went back to the meeting for the first time, they had never seen this strange person before, and they all respected and saluted.After saluting and looking up, Ying Ningzi, who is over 70 years old, has kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and has a very amiable smile. There is nothing special about his appearance, but he is too approachable, losing the characteristics that can be recalled.Ziyan stared at him three or four times before writing down his face. Fu Chuanhong also felt that this face was so kind and dull that he didn't even have the interest to draw a brush. All the teachers who had attended the meeting before were all surprised. All along, Yin Ningzi looks like a prime year, with a handsome appearance, and has never shown any signs of aging.Although Chen Xiangzi did not attend the meeting ten years ago, the dough made by Master Yi Rong twenty years ago should be well preserved.At this moment, Ying Ningzi actually appeared on the stage with his original appearance, everyone didn't know what happened, and they were extremely puzzled. Ying Ningzi first returned a salute to thank everyone for coming, and then said earnestly: "I heard that you were frightened when you came, and you didn't take good care of it. I'm really ashamed. I have ordered people to search strictly, and I must find out the troublemaker. Please Don't worry." All the teachers agreed, and stared at his face suspiciously. "Recently, my mood has changed. The immortality and resurrection that I wanted to seek in the past, now I feel it is just a dream." Yin Ningzi saw everyone's thoughts, and sighed, "What can I do without changing my appearance? Dazzling, shortness of breath, deaf legs Ruan, even if the genius doctor can temporarily protect me from death, it can't really make me immortal. Master Jiaojing, the revered master has passed away, right?" Jiao Jing rarely answered honestly: "Yes, he will enjoy a long life and go away safely." Ying Ningzi said: "Life and death are common sense in the world. I have figured it out. I don't want to fight with the sky from now on. To tell you the truth, I have made up my mind. I just want to make this grand event more grand. I don't have the heart to invite the ten masters to gather again. Please bear with me. Since it is a farewell meeting, there must be a heavy gift, so there is no need to be polite to me, an old guy. In addition, while you are all here, I just want to be a witness, and let me leave my home. I entrusted my business to my son Yixi, and from now on I don’t care about worldly affairs, and I am happy to be at ease.” Rao was the tenth division who was calm and composed when they met the enemy, and they couldn't help being in an uproar when they heard the words.It is true that the meeting of the Ten Masters was recited by Ning Zi at a time 40 years ago, but it has been passed down to the fifth time today. Regret.Zi Yan was even slightly disappointed, this time his name was not right, he was planning to go to the meeting in the next ten years, but he didn't expect to hear such news. Yin Ningzi summoned his son Yixi who was standing behind him, and all the teachers saw that the man was in his forties, so they understood his sigh a little bit. After thinking about it for a long time, he vaguely deduced the clues of the change in Ningzi's mood, so he was even more concerned about the fact that the spiritual mage was not present, and said: "My lord has invited the spiritual mage, may I ask the mountain master, has he not arrived yet? " Yin Ningzi was taken aback for a moment, then he looked at the darkest corner of the candlelight, and said, "Master Suye has arrived long ago?" Everyone looked together, and there was a black-robed man on the empty chair.The faint light of the fire could not clearly illuminate his face, even if he was close at hand, no one could see his face clearly.Zi Yan looked over, his brows and eyes became clear for a moment, then they turned into chaos and disappeared behind the heavy light and shadow.However, the treacherous aura exuded by the other party was the same as when Bai Ri Shujian rescued him. Zi Yan stared at the black robe.The white lines on the ink robe flowed like water, swaying and swaying clearly, and waves of silver water rippled into people's hearts. Fu Chuanhong rubbed his eyes and whispered, "Hey, is it a goblin?" Jiao Jing laughed loudly and said, "Hehe, it really is a spiritual mage, I am convinced!" Ying Ningzi understood everyone's confusion, and said with a smile: "Master Suye His magic power is astonishing, you don’t want people to see his true face, and please don’t force him.” At this time, Su Ye suddenly said: "A small skill, a classmate with an axe, I hope you don't take offense." His voice was very bewitching, Yang Azi frowned, he could clearly hear his voice obfuscation technique, but he couldn't solve it, so he stood there He was hypnotized by the sound. Ying Ningzi yawned, and no longer had the thought of speaking.Suye smiled lightly, and smelled a ray of fragrance slowly wafting in. Knowing that it was Yuhua who was supporting herself, she nodded to her and said, "Don't let me put you off, let's continue talking." Ziyan stared at him from the beginning to the end, causing Suye to feel slightly surprised, wondering how this young man could control his mind and not be controlled by his voice. Everyone came to their senses suddenly, they had a little idea that they had fallen into his trap, and they changed the subject out of face. Zi Yan raised her eyes inadvertently, Su Ye in the dark was like a dark blue butterfly with giant wings, coldly folding her wings to watch everyone's disappointment.If it was a spiritual mage, did he infer the ending of Yin Ningzi's desire to retire in advance, so his interest faded and he came too late?He was suddenly touched by something in his heart, carefully recalling Su Ye's expression, there seemed to be a faint hint of ridicule on his illusory face. What kind of smile is that?It seems to have penetrated some kind of truth, but is too arrogant to expose it. Ziyan looked back at the eloquent and eloquent Ningzi, did his abnormality slowly evolve over the past ten years?The wrinkles brought about by these years are really the changes that the elderly are willing to accept?A person who thought of modifying the future when he was young and middle-aged, really realized the way of heaven after knowing the destiny?Why does his face that has gone through vicissitudes always look ominous? The burial broke the silence of the teachers, and suddenly said: "I don't know if Madam is well? We haven't seen each other for ten years. Do we have to pay a respectful visit as usual?" The corner of Yin Ningzi's mouth twitched slightly, and he quickly laughed loudly: "She is as usual, since the master wants to see her, I will ask them to clean up tomorrow, and we will go see her together." Xu Zong cupped his hands and said: "It's very good. Several masters have prepared a gift for Madam. If there is no chance to meet again in the future, this time will be the only time to serve Madam." The more Ziyan heard it, the more wrong it became. He leaned over and whispered: "My master asked me to bring a gift for my wife. He didn't say anything, but said that he would understand when he saw her." Ziyan nodded, There are many strange things inside and outside the Qimin villa, whether it is the attack along the road, or the change of Ying Ningzi's temperament, and the mysterious wife, there are too many unsolved mysteries in the villa.Even if you have a sharp eye to see through the face, you can't grasp everything in one night. Zi Yan turned to look at Fu Chuanhong, with his painter's intuition, he probably sensed something was wrong.Fu Chuanhong did have a strange look on his face, staring at Ningzi hesitantly, just like him and Yanhua after seeing Yi Rong that day.Ziyan suddenly remembered that the ruins are good at Yin-Yang and Five Elements, and she suddenly asked Madam just now, could it be very meaningful?Masters Danmei and Biyue were silent, thinking about it secretly. As a result, when the delicious food and wine for the dinner were presented one after another, there was a faint undercurrent rushing through the interlaced cups and cups.The teachers exchanged polite greetings as usual, and Ning Zi graciously accompanied the wine and laughed, Zi Yan could already clearly see the tortuous thoughts behind her.Suye doesn't care about anything, like a spectator soul drifting away from the teachers, even the ruins have given up making friends with him, and others have no intention of talking to him, and dare not mess with him in the slightest. Ziyan was puzzled, so she asked Yuhua to ask the bright mirror beside her.It's strange that although the miracle doctor is young, he also attended the meeting on behalf of his teacher ten years ago, and knows some allusions.Jiaojing had a playful chatter with Yuhua for a while, before telling her that Suye was not present last time, but every time the spiritual mages who showed up had their own quirks, if they offended them, even if the other party was a tenth master, they would definitely be punished. Fix it. Zi Yan felt relieved after hearing this, and raised her cup to pay respects to Su Ye.Unexpectedly, when they got up together, Yuhua yelled "Oops", and got up after him. It turned out that the corners of their clothes were sewn together, making people dumbfounded.Yanhua gritted her teeth to look at Qingluan, she looked away freely, with a smile on the corner of her mouth. Jiaojing was laughing and jumping to the side, and Yanhua said angrily: "I will borrow your knife." Jiaojing said deliberately: "My doctor's knife only cuts people, not clothes." Zi Yan smiled, took out the disguise and used it With a thin knife, he recognized the needle and thread, raised the knife with his hand, and untied the sewing thread in an instant. Qingluan was a little surprised, and caught sight of his technique of cutting threads with a knife, and shouted: "Boy, come here." Ziyan approached respectfully, Qingluan said with a smile: "Who did you learn from?" Ziyan had an idea With a move, he said: "My master Chen Xiangzi's daughter has always admired the master. She is very talented. She has taught me a thing or two about the weaving and embroidery techniques she taught herself. Unfortunately, no one has taught her. Recently, she has been stagnant." Qingluan said: "It's okay, just ask her to come to Wenxiufang. What about you, have you ever thought about throwing away Yirong and learning embroidery? Well, it doesn't matter if you haven't thought about it, just think about it now. I never think that men can't If you are interested in learning this line of work, I can accept you on behalf of the master, and we are equal in the same generation." Yan Hua laughed heartily, took a mouthful of good food and chewed.Ziyan knew what she was laughing at, and said awkwardly to Qingluan: "If Master Qingluan can give you some advice, of course I want to learn the art of weaving and embroidery, but I'm just an apprentice..." Qingluan said: "What master, I have so much knowledge. Old? Forget it, you are Yirong Master, and you have a bright future, so it’s okay if you don’t join our school. But it’s a pity that you don’t learn weaving and embroidery, so let’s do it, from now on, you will come to Wenxiufang for two months every summer, and I will find time to give you advice How?" Thinking of the previous warning from the ruins, Zi Yan really couldn't call out the word "Master", so she bit the bullet and agreed, and Xie Hua collapsed on the table with a smile. After finally getting rid of Qingluan, Ziyan took a glass of wine and swayed to Suye.Seeing him pass by from the corner of his mouth, the corner of his mouth curled up, and he spit out four words: "Newborn calf." Jiao Jing touched his bald head, drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and praised: "Okay, it's better than me!" Bold. No way, I want to make out with him too." Just as he wanted to get up, Xu Zong held his hand and said coldly: "He can go, but you can't. You shouldn't act rashly today." Jiao Jing hated Shaking his hands in resentment, he said, "I know, I'll get through today. I was told to go into the mountains early in the morning, lest I get into trouble, and I'm not a child..." While Xu Zun appeases him, the corners of his eyes are always focused on Zi Yan. Ziyan approached Suye step by step, her face was still indistinct, it turned into a chaotic pattern when she stared at it, sometimes it was a boy's face, but after a short glance, she became an old man; sometimes it was a fox, a rabbit or a horse, In a trance, I thought I saw a monster.All kinds of colors are more bizarre than the disguise technique, which makes Ziyan more curious and wants to get closer. He deeply feels that Suye Ruyi manipulates the gaze of ordinary people on him, enjoys the surprise of others contentedly, and has taken this kind of game as a pleasure.In terms of deceiving people's hearts, the spirit mage is so similar to the Yirong master.Zi Yan knew that he could find a breakthrough to talk to Su Ye, and he couldn't let his heart be afraid, even if he was facing a powerful spirit mage. "I think you must also know the disguise technique." Zi Yan raised the cup in her hand, "Can I ask you, what is your disguise technique?" Where does the gaze fall. "You are a disguiser, so you shouldn't eat meat, it's best to only eat flowers and honey." Suye said calmly, without using any spells. "Oh why?" "Your master seems to be a second-rate guy." Su Ye replied unhurriedly, "You can enter the heavenly realm only if you abstain from meat and fish. If you only cultivate your mind but not your body, it will be in vain." Zi Yan was startled.Although the other party insulted his master, he was never a person who sticks to etiquette, and he couldn't help but be moved when he heard Su Ye's words. Su Ye said again: "You want to see my disguise?" "yes." "Okay, let me show you." As soon as he finished speaking, the table suddenly fell silent, Ziyan turned her head in embarrassment, it turned out that all the teachers and Ying Ningzi had been paying attention to their conversation.Suye got up and bowed to Yin Ningzi, and said leisurely: "I heard that all those who attend the meeting will perform in front of the mountain lord, so Suye will be the first to show off."
