Chapter 10 chapter Ten

But after becoming an heir, do you still practice continuously?I feel that life is very pale. I saw Jin Jiayu walking towards me, but I didn't see my aunt.Jin Jiayu is different from a scholar. He has a strong body and super magic power.The skin is honey-colored, and the eyes are like Liujin.His expression is also very dull, in this point, we are somewhat similar.But after following my aunt for a long time, expressions are optional. My aunt doesn't need us to be emotional, she just needs us to obey. I asked him, "Where's my aunt?" Jin Jiayu said: "My aunt asked you to meet her at the tea house." He usually seldom talks, and I have long been used to his attitude.

This is true of many people who follow my aunt, even me. I passed him to the tea house in the depths of the bamboo forest. It was called the tea house, but it was a luxurious place with carved beams and painted buildings close to the forest boundary. The carved buildings on both sides rely on the wind, and the air bridge corridor is connected in the middle.There is a lobby in the middle with corridors outside.Leaning on the bank of the bamboo forest, Taohuawu is not far away. There is a small pearl spring in front of the hall, and the bamboo water cart is gurgling, singing like a song with the wind.

Auntie is sitting in the inner hall of the tea house drinking tea, the fine porcelain and thin body are like fine fat jade, which makes her fingers soft and almost transparent.The heat is slightly steaming, but it can't relieve her frosty facial lines. Her expression is fierce, which reminds me of Han Tianning's move in the Poshui Jue. For a moment, the cold light is like a half-moon, tearing the sky and stinging her eyes. She moved her wide sleeves slightly, and glanced at me standing at the door: "You are late for practicing today." I replied quietly: "The disciple was delayed in the room for a while, so he missed the hour."

She snorted coldly, her eyes piercing through me like a sharp sword: "In the morning, Yunmei taught the stone demon privately. I think she was still a rule in the past, so she just didn't know it. But I don't point it out, just pretend I'm a bully." Is it?" Sure enough, I can't hide anything from my aunt!I bowed my head in silence, not daring to speak at all. "One wave is not calm, and another wave is rising. Even the always honest Peony dared to do this!" Aunt continued to speak slowly, her voice was as cold as ice, "not only brought a man back, but also wanted to run away with that man! One or two , don’t you take me seriously?”

The heart suddenly collapsed and tightened like a string, and the lower third of the stomach was aching.There is a slight dampness on the temples, and the cool air is rushing down the back.I didn't dare to look up, for fear that she would find any clues.I have always considered myself expressionless, but at this time, I'm not sure! The aunt said: "Shaoyao, you have my true biography, and you have always been diligent. How come you are so abnormal today? You can't sense the stone demon, and I just treat him as seeping into the ground. It's hard for you to distinguish. But you are just a mere mortal, and you also Can't sense it? Let Peony lead him swaggeringly, running around in the halls of the dojo?"

My knees gave way and I fell to my knees.It's useless to say anything now, my aunt has already found out.If Yunmei hadn't come first, perhaps Auntie would have spared us for a while.But in the morning, my aunt was already furious because of the stone demon, and again and again, my aunt will definitely not give up easily. "The disciple is incompetent, let the aunt punish him." "What's the use of punishing you? That scholar has already let Peony go. You go to the Qiankun Gate, and then set up three qi formations and add two seals. As for Peony, I will seal her in the seventh world. After you come back, Follow me to meet her. After all, you are sisters who practice together, so you should also persuade her."

I stood up in response, and retreated slowly, the back of my head was already numb.The seventh heaven, that is the fire refining hell! My aunt said this was a fairyland, but it was actually just a wall.My aunt said that the outside world is full of chaos and filth, and being infatuated with the outside world will only lead to sinking. In fact, there is a living world there, and even my aunt may have lived there. My aunt said that all men are heartless and ungrateful, but the stone demon was willing to die just to see Yunmei, but Zhu Xiaolian told me that a friend is so precious. But I can't say anything about these.I am powerless to resist my aunt, and in front of her, my posture can only always be obedience.

Auntie added: "Don't tell anyone about Peony. Back then they helped Yunmei hide it from me, so don't mention it to them again." Seeing that I was silent, she became vigilant, raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Do you have something to say to me?" I shook my head: "The disciple takes orders." Satisfied, she stood up and looked at me: "Shaoyao, you are my heir. Wanhualin will be entrusted to you in the future. The scorching wheel of light behind me will also burn on your body at that time." Absolutely. Sooner or later, I will pass on my magical powers to you. Don’t blame me for being cruel, I will let you understand that everything I do is for your benefit.”

The soul-burning flames of the seventh heaven are burning punishments, and being here is like throwing yourself into purgatory.Surrounded by a sea of ​​flames, those who are churning and howling below are painful souls that cannot struggle. Peony is trapped on the stone platform at the bottom of the tower, and the fire snake is biting into her body.Her face was pale, but her eyes were bright.But I feel that graceful posture has never faded away, as if she is still under the bamboo forest and waterfall, she smiles slightly and spreads flowers towards the sun.I looked at her quietly, and she looked back at me like this.

What else can I advise?In the dojo, I have already seen clearly, her eyes are exactly the same as Yunmei at that time. I moved my fingertips slightly, shaking the Guyuan knot. A stream of light passed by, flying like water ripples, as long as silk rain but hard to penetrate the formation of fire snakes.Thinking of it in the heart, prompting the aura to open.Stretching out his belt, he pushed the gleam of water towards Peony's eyebrows. A forced smile curled up on the corner of her lips, and she sighed angrily: "Why help me?" "No reason." Zhu Xiaolian said that some things don't need to be said, although it is a disadvantage not to express.We eight sisters grew up together, practiced together, and spent many, many years together in the Ten Thousand Flowers Forest.

Even if I can't laugh, even if I can't express, I haven't forgotten the past.These, I think, are also feelings. When I was practicing sandstorms, it was difficult to let go of my anger.My aunt only asked me to keep exercising, which was full of scars but made no progress. It was Peony who gave me the clear dew. At that time, I couldn't even say a word of thanks. In fact, I didn't even like my personality. At that time, I really wanted to smile and say thank you to her, and I wanted to say that you practiced very hard, don't give me such a precious thing, but in the end the words came to my lips, but it turned out that you don't care. I've been annoyed by this for a long, really long time. Peony looked at me with a strange gleam in her eyes.She smiled softly and said, "You know what? There are many things in this world... How I want to go and see with him." I said: "Smelting Fire and Devouring Soul, you only need to..." "I'm not wrong." Peony bit her lip, weak and persistent, "Is it wrong to like someone?" like?This feeling, she said so naturally.She said softly: "You won't understand. If you look into his eyes, you will be attracted to him. You always want to be with him, even if you just sit quietly. When you are with him, you feel peaceful. If there is something wrong with it, then let it go wrong. This is not something that I can control, nor can my aunt control." Yes, she is not wrong, I agree. However, that person is gone.He has returned to where he should be, and we are still here, even if this is just a wall and the world is just a painting to him.But we are here to survive forever! It's better to admit a mistake to my aunt, even if it's just against my will, than it is now.We all know my aunt's temper.If you can't beat her, you can only obey.You can't leave here, you have to continue to live.My aunt must still be a little bit unbearable to keep me here to persuade her. I opened my mouth, but couldn't speak.Peony would not do this, if someone else could, she would not.Peony never lies! "For him, it might just be an adventure. He somehow entered the painting wall and met a group of women living in the painting... But for me, it brought me hope, happiness and longing... I really want to go with him, but it's a pity..." Mudan smiled faintly, but her pale face turned bright red at this moment, making her facial features look more glamorous. I said softly: "You should always think about yourself, he's already gone, right? Just let my aunt calm down..." She shook her head and said: "We are not allowed to ask, we are not allowed to know. Living in this lifeless and hopeless place, we are not allowed to have dreams and see the future. I don't think I am wrong, and I don't want to go on like this... ...Although I failed to step out here, it doesn't matter, at least I understand. It turns out that feelings are never up to you to decide. Even if she is as strong as my aunt, she can't decide our hearts." Looking at the bright red on her face, I knew very well that it was not because of the fire. Peony asked me: "Aren't you curious? What is there outside this world? What is the purpose of our practice so far? You are stuck here day after day, don't you want to go outside? We have such a Heart, it is wrong, should it be punished? Are you really happy and willing to live like this for a lifetime? Is everything my aunt said right? She will only trap us in this place, not allowing us to experience, not even giving We hope. Such a day, I have already passed the boredom!" I was silent, I couldn't answer a word she said. In the end, she looked at me with a look of pity in her eyes: "No wonder my aunt chose you as the heir, you are exactly like her, you are both cold-hearted and cold-hearted." Chest suffocation, Peony never lies, she just thinks so when she says this. She lowered her head, her long hair floating like a waterfall, and her voice sounded like a dream: "Forget it, you don't understand. But at least you helped me. You are softer than my aunt." I bent my knuckles slightly, it's useless to be soft-hearted, I can't help her. I went to see my aunt at the tea house and handed in the flower crown she gave me.The tiny corolla containing the Five Elements Lingzhu, this exquisite hair accessory, contains powerful power. Without this thing, I wouldn't be able to stay at the bottom of the seventh heaven alone. My aunt's expression was a little sad, as if she already knew that my persuasion was useless.She reached out to take the corolla and said, "Peony has always been an honest child. This is what I admire about her... What a pity!" I felt a little sad in my heart, and when I was about to speak, my aunt waved her hand and said, "Wouldn't I not know their little thoughts if you don't want to stay in college? A young girl's heart of youth is the most harmful thing. Don't let them experience How do you know that I am doing everything for their own good?" She said, narrowing her eyes slightly.Ningshuang flashed a faint blue light in his eyes, and I felt uneasy, and said: "Auntie, the sisters just think that life in the forest is monotonous, and they have never had any disagreements, please ask Auntie..." "You don't need to talk, go and get on with your business." The aunt didn't intend to listen any more, she stood up and waved her sleeves before disappearing. First Yunmei, then Peony... I suddenly remembered what she said to me: I will let you understand that I did this for your own good! What exactly does my aunt want to do? I couldn't persuade Mudan to bow her head and admit her mistake, and I couldn't change my aunt's mind.The life of Wanhualin is still the same as before, the dojo rolls names every day, and then it is cultivation.The sudden disappearance of Peony, of course, the sisters have doubts. But no one mentioned it, even the green bamboo, which is the closest to the peony, never showed the slightest strangeness in front of me. It's just that the way they looked at me became more and more alienated and wary.All the faces were indifferent, as if they had discussed it, and they didn't let me see the slightest clue. I can understand, because I kicked Zhu Xiaolian under Peony's skirt back then.I also helped him, but only Mudan was missing. Bearing the embarrassing title of heir, sandwiched between my aunt and sisters, I feel like I am floating in the ocean, with no shore at either end. I no longer talk to myself in front of the bronze mirror, because whenever I sit in front of the mirror, I can't help but think of that boy.Then she thought of Peony, but she was still clinging to her original heart in the raging fire.
