Chapter 220 Chapter 1 Misty Rain Jiangnan

The breeze is like catkins, and willow silk is like rain. In the afternoon in the south of the Yangtze River, the sky began to drizzle.Beside the ancient road, outside an old long pavilion, a willow tree flutters in the wind, and the thin raindrops are like crystal jade beads, green and green like one.In the long pavilion, a melodious qin sound passed away with the wind, like the call of the world, floating in the mist of the misty south of the Yangtze River. In the distance, a figure came towards the pavilion as fast as an arrow, and when it approached the pavilion, the person let out a soft cry, and the moving body stopped immediately.In the drizzle, I saw this man in his sixties, with a small nose and small eyes on a monkey face, and a mole on the corner of his mouth. He was wearing a gray-black Taoist robe for an unknown how long, holding a dust whisk in his hand, and carrying a With a long sword, a faint blue-red light shone all over his body, blocking the rain three feet away, and standing three inches off the ground with his toes.

Glancing at the person playing the piano in the pavilion, the old Taoist gave a strange laugh, and at the same time his body floated up, and shot lightly into the long pavilion. "The old man thought Yanfu was coming, and he met a beautiful woman here to play the piano, but who knew that it was a surprise to meet a white-haired fellow of the same kind, what a surprise!" With a bit of humor in his tone, the old man stared at the girl with small eyes. That white-haired old man. With a calm smile, the old man with white hair and childlike face was still playing the piano as before, and softly chanted: "The world looks for me to run away and break my legs, I look for the world to be beautiful, in the long pavilion in the south of the Yangtze River, wandering in front of the old man's door." , Accompanied by the sound of the piano, it is integrated into one body, and it is full of emotion and scenery.

With a smile, the old Taoist asked: "Old man, your hair is all white, and you seem to have lived a lot of years. Why do you always like to play riddles? You are playing the piano here today, maybe it is to touch the scene and express yourself. Feeling so simple, right? There must be some other purpose, why don’t you just say it straight.” The old man Fuqin said indifferently: “This old man has always been guessing riddles all his life, let the world guess my riddles, and I guess the riddles of the world. That’s how it goes.” The old Taoist narrowed his eyes and asked in confusion: "Guessing riddles? What kind of riddles are you guessing? Can you explain clearly?" The old man playing the piano smiled and said: "If you make it clear, you don't need to guess. If you go today, I will You guessed right, it should be to find a person, a person who is very close to you. But have you thought about it, what if you find him, it will only waste your time. The most important thing for you now is not to find that person, Instead, go to the door of the old man, so there may be a chance."

The old Taoist's eyes changed slightly, and he asked: "Who are you, and what do you mean by the old man's door?" .What is an old man? Where did he go back and forth from? The thousand-year-old foundation was turned into ashes, just for the disaster!" The old Taoist hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Do you know who I am?" The old man playing the qin said with a smile: "You can know the person by hearing his voice, and know his heart by looking at his shape. I naturally know who you are, otherwise why should I talk to you about this." Who am I, then tell me, what will happen to me next?" The old man Fuqin looked up at him, and said lightly: "Some things are better not to know than to know, if you believe what I say, hurry up Go back, if you don't believe me, please leave."

The old Taoist frowned, calculated with his right hand, and after a while, his face was shocked, and he said in horror: "No, it's a bad omen, let's go!" The words flashed, and the whole person disappeared miraculously in the long pavilion.The old man Fuqin watched the old Taoist leave, and sighed softly: "It was predetermined in the previous life, whether you go or not, you will have the same ending, the only difference is the fate of others." The wind was getting weaker, but the rain was getting heavier. The sound of rushing rain shrouded the land in the south of the Yangtze River, as if countless undead were crying, crying about the coming things.In the long pavilion, the old man was still flicking the stringed qin, and the sound of the qin echoed the sound of the rain, as if comforting the weeping souls.In the distance, black clouds billowed like ink, and after a while, the pouring rain suddenly hit, making the old long pavilion wobble like a lonely boat in the sea.

In the heavy rain, five hurried figures flew over like arrows, and appeared outside the long pavilion in the blink of an eye.Seeing someone playing the qin in the pavilion, the five figures suddenly stopped, and after a moment of silence, they flew in at the same time and appeared beside the old man who was playing the qin.Among the five people, four men and one woman were divided into two groups. The first group consisted of two men and one woman, who happened to be Zhang Aoxue, Lin Yunfeng and Tian Mufeng, while the other group consisted of two middle-aged men with Equipped with a long sword, he is obviously also a master in the cultivation world.

Glancing at the old man Fuqin, Tian Mufeng said via voice transmission: "This man is a bit weird, we have to be more careful." Lin Yunfeng said: "Got it, this old man's eyes are very powerful, he seems to be able to read people's hearts." Zhang Aoxue looked at it for a while , shook his head and said: "Don't worry, this person has pure eyes and no malice." After speaking, looking at the rainstorm outside the pavilion, there was a hint of yearning in his eyes. Here, after the two middle-aged men glanced at Zhang Aoxue and the old man, the one on the left said: "Brother Chen, the current human situation is chaotic, the demons are chaotic, and the Righteous Path Alliance in the Central Plains is facing a disadvantage in the first battle. It's getting more and more dangerous, we have to think about it, where should we go to avoid it." The middle-aged man surnamed Chen said: "What Brother Li said is very true, think about the masters of the Righteous Path Alliance like clouds, in the hands of the swordsmen in the sky Under the leadership, I thought I could do a lot of work, but who knew that they would lose so badly in the first battle, it is really chilling."

The middle-aged man surnamed Li sighed: "Yeah, who would have thought that after their re-alliance, they would still be so disappointing? On the contrary, the Demon Elimination Alliance is extraordinary. Chen Yuluan personally won the first battle, which greatly boosted its reputation. How much is it? The cultivation world is looking forward to it." Hearing that the two talked about this matter, Tian Mufeng spoke to Zhang and Lin in a low voice, and then came to the two of them, and said with a smile: "You two brothers are invited, younger brother Tian Mufeng, because a few days ago I just came out today after going to the mountain to practice, and I heard the two talk about the affairs of the world, so I wonder if I can join in the fun, so as to understand the current situation."

The two middle-aged men looked at him for a while, seeing that he didn't look like an evil person, and they didn't reach out to hit the smiling man, so after exchanging glances with each other, the middle-aged man surnamed Chen said: "So it's Tian Shaoxia, Since meeting here can be regarded as some kind of fate, it is good for everyone to communicate with each other." Tian Mufeng smiled and said: "Thank you two brothers, just now I heard you talk about the Righteous Path Alliance and the Demon Elimination Alliance. what's going on?" "There are so many things, and it's surprising to talk about them. Let's just talk about the Righteous Path Alliance..." The middle-aged man surnamed Chen carefully described what happened recently, and finally said: "I thought they could make a difference this time." , Who knows that in the end, the army will be lost, even the Tianjian Academy and the Confucian Academy have been destroyed, and the entire six-academy alliance is now only left with Yiyuan and Bodhi Academy."

Hearing this, his face changed, Tian Mufeng glanced at Zhang Aoxue and Lin Yunfeng, and continued to ask: "Then what happened when you mentioned the Demon Elimination Alliance just now?" The middle-aged Li surnamed beside him said: "That matter is also the same. It happened on the same day, at that time, Chen Yuluan, the leader of the Demon Slayer Alliance, personally led the alliance masters to attack, and met the Heihe Ghost King at the foot of Huashan Mountain. When Zhang Aoxue, Lin Yunfeng and Tian Mufeng heard this, their faces changed, and they couldn't tell whether they should be surprised or happy.

After a moment of silence, Tian Mufeng smiled and said: "So it turns out that the Demon Elimination Alliance is really commendable. According to what the two brothers said, the current Demon Elimination Alliance has gained a lot of fame in the first battle, and the world of comprehension is in chaos. Many people went to join for safety, is it the same for the two brothers?" The middle-aged man surnamed Li shook his head and said: "There is some truth to what you said, but as far as the two of us see, the world is in troubled times with monsters, and with the strength of the Alliance of Righteous Paths, the Dharma Realm of the Clouds and the Nine Heavens of the Void Realm have been defeated repeatedly. The Demon Elimination Alliance is probably not a paradise either. If we rush there, we might end up dying in battle, so it would be better to take refuge in seclusion." Tian Mufeng nodded and said: "This is also human nature. The two brothers came to Jiangnan this time, presumably to avoid the war in the Central Plains, right?" The middle-aged man surnamed Chen said: "That's exactly the case. We discussed it for a long time and felt that the south of the Yangtze River is relatively calm, so we came here to avoid disaster." Tian Mufeng smiled and said: "This little brother understands, here I first wish the two brothers a safe journey and good luck!" "Thank you Jiyan, the rain is a little lighter now, we should hurry up, we will meet again next time, take care." Watching the two leave, Lin Yunfeng sighed: "The sixth courtyard has already destroyed the fifth one, what should we do now?" Zhang Aoxue remained silent and looked into the distance quietly, a slight sadness appeared on her beautiful face, perhaps she I don't know how to choose. During the meditation, the sound of the piano changes suddenly, and the melodious tone becomes passionate and high-pitched. A vast aura of galloping horses permeates the long pavilion, making the listeners feel excited and proud of the world. Turning around to look at the old man playing the piano, Zhang Aoxue asked politely: "Senior, you are outstanding at playing the piano, I don't know what to call it?" A burst of wonderful melody turned into countless notes and printed on her forehead.In the end, a gleam flashed and everything disappeared without a trace. Withdrawing his hands, the old man flicking the qin sighed softly: "I am just a qin blower, you don't need to care about my surname. Today's piano sound should not be given to you, but I will make an exception for the sake of the world, otherwise the world will be destroyed in the future." Countless people have suffered misfortune. You are destined to have several catastrophes in your life. Originally, this is irresolvable. You have to live with dirt in order to fulfill your destiny. However, in this way, countless lives will be harmed, so I will help you today. You have resolved this catastrophe with one arm, and I only hope that you will be able to save the catastrophe in the future." Zhang Aoxue asked puzzledly: "Senior's words don't make sense to the younger generation, so please tell me." The old man Fuqin said softly: "Today, everything is only for Lu Yun. There are very few people in this world who can win back his heart, and you are one of them." One. In this life, there are many tribulations between you and him, and the most difficult calamity to pass is the calamity of love. You have to take care of yourself, always keep in mind, and never give up." The complexion changed slightly, Zhang Aoxue was silent for a while, and said: "Thank you senior for your kindness, this junior will keep it in mind. Today, senior is playing the piano here, is it for this junior?" The old man playing the piano shook his head and said: "It's not all because of you, but You are the main reason. Now that the rain has stopped, it is time for me to leave. Before I leave, I will give each of you a word, which should be regarded as a gift." Standing up and holding the piano in his arms, the old man's eyes fell on Tian Mufeng. After looking at it for a while, he said softly: "If the heart has no desires, everything is quiet. If the heart has desires, yin and yang cannot be determined. Everything is only in the heart, so I can do it myself." Tian Mu Feng Yi was stunned, looking at the old man puzzled, not understanding what these words meant. The old man didn't explain, but shifted his eyes to Lin Yunfeng. After scrutinizing him for a while, he said in a deep voice, "Yin and Yang blend together, and the universe is boundless. It lasts for thousands of years, and the fate of the previous life. Work hard, between rebirth and destruction, there will be your figure " Lin Yunfeng shook his head blankly and said: "I don't understand what you mean, it's hard to understand what you said." Looking back at Zhang Aoxue's face, the old man was silent for a moment and said: "Some things tell you too much, which is not good for you. Remember what I said today, and walk with the phoenix after the catastrophe. People too. Remember, remember." Before Zhang Aoxue could speak, the old man suddenly faded away, and he disappeared into the air without a sound. Glancing at the two companions, Zhang Aoxue asked softly: "How much do you understand?" Lin Yunfeng shook his head and said: "I don't really understand, the few words he said to me just now seem to imply something, but it's hard to guess without a clue. But senior sister, do you feel anything, does his piano sound have any effect on you?" Zhang Aoxue pondered: "It seems to have a feeling, I can't tell what it is exactly, it seems that he left the sound of the piano in my mind, but I can't figure out what purpose it is." Tian Mufeng said in a deep voice: "This is really hard to guess. But as far as I understand, first of all, he said that Miss Aoxue will be in trouble in the future, and that catastrophe is unavoidable, and there is a catastrophe in love with Lu Yun. Maybe Either there is a misunderstanding between you, or someone is intervening, destroying or preventing this relationship. Secondly, although we cannot understand the piano sound he sent you today, it will definitely come in handy in the future. Three, regarding the phoenix he mentioned, I have thought about it for a long time and came up with a guess, although it may not be correct, but you might as well listen to it." Zhang Aoxue's face was slightly gloomy, and she said firmly: "There will never be any misunderstanding between us. As for the other possibility, that is possible." Lin Yunfeng agreed: "Senior sister is right, no matter when, I firmly believe that Lu Yun won’t misunderstand you, the only thing we have to beware of is someone sabotaging it. There are currently two such people, one is in front of us, and the other is in Huashan, we have to be more careful.” Zhang Aoxue glanced at Lin Yunfeng, nodded and said, "I know." Tian Mufeng smiled wryly when he heard this, "You talk like this, but it hurts people's self-esteem. Although I am not a gentleman, I will not do things that hurt others and benefit myself matter." Lin Yunfeng snorted: "Being defensive is essential. If I say it in front of you, I hope you understand it. It's best not to have that kind of thinking. If I don't treat you as a friend, I won't bother to say this in front of you. Okay. Now, you still tell me, who is that Fengzhe referring to?" Tian Mufeng shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly for a few times, then put away his smile, and said softly: "Feng Zhe, the first thing he refers to is a woman, and second, he once said that the person who spreads his wings and screams in the nine heavens. Women must be well-known in the world. Thinking about it this way, how many women are famous in the world today? Miss Aoxue herself is one, followed by Cang Yue from Phoenix Academy, Ye Xinyi from Zhengdao Alliance, Chen Yuluan from the Demon Elimination Alliance and Bai Ling from the Heavenly Capital. Except for herself, who are the remaining four?" Lin Yunfeng thought for a while and said: "It's easy to guess. It is absolutely impossible for Ye Xinyi to be the first one. Among the remaining three, Cang Yue and Bai Ling have close relationships with her, and they should not be them. Only Chen Yuluan is left." Tian Mufeng nodded and said: "That's right, I think so too. The old man who played the qin most likely wanted Miss Aoxue to go to the Demon Elimination Alliance to settle down after going through a catastrophe." Zhang Aoxue thought about these words, a trace of worry suddenly appeared on her beautiful face, as if she thought of something in a blink of an eye.But what exactly is it, she didn't say anything, just looked at the sky from afar. Sensing that her expression was a little strange, Lin Yunfeng changed the subject and said: "Senior sister, now that the Bodhi Academy is destroyed, you still have an idea, should we go to Huashan to report the letter, or go back to Yiyuan to report to the teacher in charge?" After being silent for a while, Zhang Aoxue looked at Tian Mufeng and said, "What about you, what are your plans?" Tian Mufeng said with some reluctance: "I wanted to accompany you for a longer walk, but there is no permanent banquet in the world. Let's break up here. I'm going to go to the Central Plains first to see the situation between the Righteous Path Alliance and the demons and goblins, and then make plans according to the situation." Zhang Aoxue said indifferently: "That's fine, I hope the next time we meet, you will be the same as before. When the rain stops, we should break up. I will take the road back to Yiyuan, and see you later." After Yu Jian stood up, The elegant figure flies in the sky.In the pavilion, Lin Yunfeng and Tian Mufeng said a few words and chased after him with his sword. After a while, the figures of the two disappeared into the clouds. Watching the snow-white figure leave, Tian Mufeng said to himself: "It's a pity that this life is never destined, otherwise it would be such a beautiful thing. Lu Yun, Lu Yun, you are really enviable! Forget it, look at the proud For the sake of Maiden Xue, let’s forget about it, I just hope that you don’t let me down, otherwise it will be hateful.” After the words fell into the shadow of the figure, he disappeared. However, at this moment, the brilliance in the pavilion appeared, and the old man playing the piano appeared in the same place again.Looking at the disappearing figure, the old man said in a low voice: "The successor of Tianxie Sect is quite lucky. He met Zhang Aoxue and fell in love with him, and found a glimmer of life." Hua Luo sat down again, and put the piano on the stone table , a moving melody echoed in the pavilion again. After the rain, Jiangnan is uniquely beautiful. The green grass is green and the water mist is like clouds, reflecting the golden light of the sun poking out of the clouds.The crisp birdsong, the tangy fragrance of flowers, coupled with the looming sound of the piano, form a fairy music outside the long pavilion beside the ancient road, quietly blooming its unique charm. The rain in the south of the Yangtze River comes and goes quickly.On the muddy ancient road, there was a gust of wind at this time, and there was a faint sound of piercing through the air, and it came to the top of the head in a short time.A sound of surprise came from the sky above the long pavilion, although it was very light, it seemed extraordinarily sudden within the sound of the piano, which immediately destroyed the aura around it, causing the sound of the piano to stop abruptly. In mid-air, a man in black with a kid mask on his face stood still, and after a moment of hesitation, he floated down and appeared in the pavilion.Looking at the white-haired old man, the man in black asked in a low voice: "The long pavilion on the ancient road, I'm waiting for you to play the piano, what do you mean?" The old man Fuqin glanced at him indifferently, then moved his eyes to the distance, and said in a flat tone: "The sound of the piano is like fluff, floating indefinitely, and it is for the confidant to explain the elegant meaning. People in the world, things in the world, when will they stop? Busy life, future Like a dream, it was only for the breath at that time. Looking back on the journey, there is a bit of bitterness, but do you have any regrets?" The man in black's eyes turned cold, his whole body exuded a chill, and said coldly: "I don't need you to teach me how to behave. Who are you and what are your intentions?" The old man flicking the qin didn't care, waved the strings with both hands, and said while playing the qin: "Above the river, the Buddha said that there are people who are destined to cross the boat, and in the long pavilion, I said that there are people who are difficult to cross the qin. It's just up to you whether you want to cross it or not. Not destined." The man in black's eyes were like knives, and after staring at the old man for a long time, he said softly, "You said that I am in trouble, but I don't know where the trouble comes from, why, and how to resolve it?" The old man playing the piano whispered softly Said: "Please listen to my song, forget the common things and go back to your hometown, please listen to my words, it is too late to stop now." Filled with joy, it seems that the light is in that looking back. After the song was played, the man in black's expression moved slightly, and he hesitated for a while before saying: "Who are you, you seem to know my identity?" The old man playing the piano said: "It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that I know you Who, for what purpose, and what is the end result of that." The pupils of the man in black constricted and his eyes were ice-like. "Do you really know my purpose and result? Since that's the case, you might as well tell me about it. I really want to know what my fate is in this life." The old man playing the qin sighed: "The Buddha said that there are many people who are destined, but not many who can cross. I said that there are many people who are in trouble, but not many who are willing to cross. Since you want to know, I might as well tell you something. I hope you can wake up in time, otherwise you will regret it in the future. I won’t say where you came from for now, but when you were young, you made a mistake and did something that you regret for the rest of your life. Over the years, in order to make up for this mistake, and unwilling to let others easily take away your hard work, you left your hometown and started a life-and-death struggle chasing the world. You want to surpass everything and get back your own It’s a pity that you are destined not to reach the end in this life, because what awaits you in the end is not success, but tragedy.” The man in black shook his body and roared: "You talk nonsense, I don't believe it, I don't believe it. No matter what, I will be able to fulfill my wish, for sure!" It is also fate. Listen to me, turn your back and do what you want, otherwise the person you have owed in your life will also die like you, and this is fate." Shaking his head excitedly, the man in black questioned: "Why, why are you talking nonsense here, why?" The day, the eternal catastrophe, seems to be the time to appear." After speaking, the figure of the old man playing the piano faded and disappeared into the air again. In the long pavilion, the man in black shouted angrily: "Don't go, you answer me, why? Why?" In the void, the voice of the old man playing the piano came: "Xuanfeng's name is Wuxin, since Wuxin can't make things happen ? There are banks on both sides of the long river, and I only sigh to flow eastward, which is sad, sad!" The man in black shook his body, and immediately calmed down his excitement. After glancing around, he said indifferently: "It's up to people, let's take a gamble." After speaking, he flew up and flew towards the Central Plains. The breeze is coming, but the long pavilion is still there, only the willow leaves outside the pavilion are blowing with the wind; after the rain is sunny, the clouds open to see the sun, only the dark clouds can make a rainbow!
