After he said this, he saw the eldest lady frown slightly.
Lin Shu consciously reflected on whether he said anything wrong.
He doesn't think so.
Fortunately, after frowning briefly, he slowly stretched out again, Ling Fengxiao returned to his normal expression, and said, "You have been isolated from the world since you were a child, and you don't know the world... It's okay."
Lin Shu: "Huh?"
Seeing that the eldest lady gave him a deep look again, she said, "Go back."
Due to the accident in the school, most of the disciples had to stay in the bamboo hut. On the way from Hexutian to Biyutian, there were very few people and the chill of late autumn.
In the midst of the cold and loneliness, Ling Baochen probably saw that the atmosphere was too cold, and said, "Although no one is walking around now, the martial arts field is still lively."
The eldest lady replied to her: "The Confucianism and Taoism Academy came to the martial arts field to make trouble again?"
Ling Baochen said: "Exactly, they were ordered to stay in the bamboo hut and could not argue in person, so they wanted to enter the martial arts arena. Mr. Meng was soft-hearted and put them in again. Right now, Xie Zishe's faction is the main battle, and it is peaceful. One faction is in harmony, and there is a lot of quarrel right now, and the martial arts field is almost a mess."
The eldest lady said, "Xie Zishe inherited Zhong Xiang, and Ping Ru Ning inherited Qu Gong. It was war and peace, and there was a lot of quarrel between the court and China."
Ling Baoqing said, "I would rather be defeated—I am determined not to see the imperial court beg for peace."
Ling Fengxiao said indifferently: "Once the guardian of the mountain rises, Nanxia will be alone and it will be difficult to negotiate peace."
Ling Baochen sighed and stopped talking.
Listening to the meaning of their words, Nanxia is indeed in a time of precariousness at the moment - there are still "mountain guards" in charge, and once the mountain guards ascend, the situation will be even worse.
Lin Shu didn't know how to comment on this. Although he was on the fringes of the crowd in modern times, he could be considered to have grown up in a peaceful age, and he had no personal feelings about this scene.
Ling Baoqing said, "How about that?"
Ling Fengxiao said: "The villa is still one day, so you can practice martial arts with peace of mind."
Lin Shu was a little uneasy when he heard the words. If there were really troubled times, and he didn't have a cultivation base, it would make people feel guilty after all.
Although the eldest lady said that he did not need to care about the meridians, Ling Fengxiao would not be by his side all the time, just like the living dead he met in the library - if Ling Fengxiao didn't rescue him in time, would there be any Lin Shu in the world? It's up for debate.
Therefore, Huandang Mountain must go, even if there is no secret book to change the meridians, try to find a way to protect yourself.
Just as he was thinking about it, he arrived at the place where he was going to go up the steps. After the rain, a layer of moss grew on the stone steps, which was very slippery. Ling Fengxiao held his wrist again, and went up the steps first, and then waited for Lin Shu to come up.
With this move, Lin Shu naturally did not have any risk of slipping, but felt a little wrong in his heart.
The eldest lady is really meticulous in taking care of herself.
Recalling that he had just arrived at Shangling Academy, Ling Fengxiao took him to Jasper Sky, leading the way far ahead, ignoring whether he could keep up, it seemed to be a matter of his previous life.
It's really unpredictable.
Back in Jasper Sky, Ling Fengxiao said that there was one of the most difficult illusions in Huandang Mountain, and there was an isolated book describing various illusions in the ancient times, and I wanted to show it to him.
Ling Baochen and Ling Baoqing looked at each other and said goodbye to the eldest lady with a smile, leaving only Lin Shu alone to be taken to tutor her homework.
On weekdays, Ling Fengxiao came to his room, and Lin Shu had never entered the eldest lady's boudoir.
Passing through the splendid peony bushes to the door, Ling Fengxiao pushed open the door and let Lin Shu advance.
-Everyone's house looks the same on the outside, but the inside is self-contained, which is not something Lin Shu can imagine out of thin air.
I saw the four walls were sparkling and shining. On the side facing the door, there was a picture of a hundred birds facing the phoenix, embellished with many pearls. On the west wall, the fairy grass was like a waterfall. The furniture such as tables and chairs is elegant and luxurious, needless to say, a red gauze screen is placed on the small door connecting the bedroom, and you can faintly see the high bed and soft curtain inside. Different.
White smoke curled up in the incense burner, and the aroma of the room was floating. If it was said to be orchid incense, it would be too sparse. If it was said to be sandalwood, it was not so solid and heavy. .
After he walked in, Ling Fengxiao came in next, but said a little unnaturally: "I don't like the house that Baochen and the others have converted."
Lin Shu said: "It's very beautiful."
A beautiful girl like the eldest should live in such a beautiful house, no matter her temper.
"Do you like it?" the eldest lady said, "your room is indeed too plain."
Lin Shu: "No need."
The room was cleaned up by the girls from Baochen. It was already very good. If it was more magnificent, I am afraid that it would violate the teacher's admonition and take the old man out of the coffin.
The eldest lady smiled lightly and didn't say anything else. She came to the small door and said, "Come in."
Lin Shu was a little nervous.
Entering a girl's bedroom for the first time.
In the bedroom of the eldest lady, there is a bookcase. There is a desk in front of the bookcase, and on the opposite side is a large bronze mirror. Next to the bronze mirror, there is a slightly smaller multi-treasure shelf, which looks like a dressing table.
Ling Fengxiao first sat down in front of the mirror and took a wooden box from the shelf.
Lin Shu quietly watched the eldest lady touch up her makeup.
The vermilion rouge dots the lips and spreads lightly.
But seeing the person in the mirror is dressed in red, with black hair like ink, bright eyes and white teeth, looking forward to brilliance.
Lin Shu thought to himself that he had never seen such a beautiful girl.
The book says that beauty is beyond measure, but that's it.
The eldest lady saw him looking at herself in the mirror, her hand drawing Meidai stopped for a while, and said with a smile, "Come here."
His smile was very bad, which made Lin Shu vigilant.
He approached cautiously, leaned over slightly, and the slender pen tip in Ling Fengxiao's hand tapped lightly under his eyes.
The fine hair was dipped in eyebrow ink, and at this point, a small mole was dotted under the eyes.
Ling Fengxiao motioned to Lin Shu to look in the mirror, and said, "This way, your face is full of fireworks."
Lin Shu carefully looked at himself in the mirror, except that there was a black spot at the moment, he couldn't see any difference.
After Ling Fengxiao looked at his face, he checked himself again, put away the rouge gouache and the like, and said, "I have to go out to meet people today, otherwise I will not paint."
After that, I went to the bookshelf to pick up the book, and said softly in the middle: "I sometimes think, it's just a skin, whether it's beautiful or ugly, male or female, but it's not a big problem."
Lin Shu pretended to agree, but he didn't agree.
Although there is no problem in theory, only people like the eldest who already have good-looking skin have the confidence to say it.
After taking the ancient book describing illusions, Ling Fengxiao explained the important points for him again, and then Lin Shu went back.
He read the book through in his room and felt that it was understandable. He took out the jade talisman, entered the dream, and planned to practice swordsmanship.
Mr. Meng was still standing against the wind in the small pavilion on the top of the mountain as usual. When he saw him coming, he turned around and said with a smile, "Friend Daoist, long time no see."
Lin Shu said: "Long time no see."
"The school is in an eventful season. I'm afraid there will be no classes in the near future. Daoist friends may wish to come to the dreamland more."
Lin Shu said: "Okay."
Mr. Meng stopped talking and just stood quietly in the pavilion.
Lin Shu had seen the Great National Teacher several times these days, and now he looked at Mr. Meng again to confirm that the similarities between the two of them were not an illusion.
He couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Mr. Meng smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, why are you looking at me?"
Although he knew that he was not a real person, Lin Shu still felt a little embarrassed. He took out his sword and planned to practice basic swordsmanship.
Suddenly, Mr. Meng looked at him, his eyes were light and distant, and he said softly: "Fellow Daoist, I am the body of Shuiyuejinghua.
Lin Shu said "um".
There must be many people in the Academy who have seen the Great National Teacher, and they must have noticed the similarities between the Great National Teacher and Mr. Meng. Mr. Meng must have been asked a lot, so he knew the reason why he just looked at his appearance, and said Let him not be curious about it.
After Mr. Meng said this, he stopped thinking about it and concentrated on practicing the sword.
After the practice, Mr. Meng said, "Fellow Daoist, if you are going to Huandang Mountain, you must know the situation of Huandang Mountain."
Lin Shu stepped forward, Mr. Meng sat down in front of the stone table in the pavilion, flicked his right hand on the stone table, and a phantom of an immortal mountain appeared on the table.
"Huandang Mountain is where Emperor Ye lived in the past. There are countless treasures in the Floating Heaven Immortal Palace. Anyone who can climb the Huantang Mountain to the sky will definitely gain something. It's extraordinary." Mr. Meng explained the situation of Huandang Mountain in a warm voice, and moved his finger to the foot of the mountain: "This is the gate of heaven, there is an air barrier, and only those who hold the token can enter."
After that, Mr. Meng moved his finger up and said, "When you enter the gate of heaven, you will first be the ninety-nine heaven-penetrating steps, which have qi flowing on them, and you need to fight against them with your own cultivation. There are many mysteries among them. Know."
Lin Shu felt a slight suffocation.
He didn't have a cultivation base that could compete with it - however, after thinking about it, since the eldest lady had asked him to go to Huandang Mountain, there must be a solution.
The unreliable people in the world have lost their own chains, and the eldest lady has never had anything to do with the word "unreliable", so he doesn't have to worry about it.
Mr. Meng continued: "If you pass the Heaven-passing Step, you will pass the test of your cultivation. Along the mountain road, there are thousands of illusions on the side of the road. Be sure to keep your mind. When you see the road monument halfway up the mountain, you will be in a 'maze'. , In the maze, there are many illusions, it is extremely difficult to get out, and most of the disciples cannot move forward here."
fantasy.
Lin Shu had only heard of its name in his last life, but had never seen it before. It was probably a virtual holographic world similar to the Shangling Dreamland.
"Although you can't move forward, the illusion of tempering your mind is very helpful to your cultivation, and it's not like returning empty-handed. If you can get out of the labyrinth and go up, it will be an exquisite cave, test your mind, and pass this level. , then you can climb the mountain. The guardians live in the floating immortal palace on the top of the mountain all the year round, because of the rules, I cannot explain the affairs of the immortal palace, everything depends on the chance of the Taoist friends."
Lin Shu said: "Thank you sir."
"No need," said Mr. Meng with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, you just need to remember the characters 'break when you are broken' and 'you know how to return when you are lost', and your trip will be done. You don't have to miss the Academy on the way, there is nothing to do. When doing it, you can also use the jade card to return to the dream."
Lin Shu nodded.
After this day, his life returned to tranquility. He ate, practiced martial arts, and practiced swords every day. Ling Fengxiao sent Tulong Guard to guard the garden, but he was always absent-minded. He only looked for him to eat every day, or act as a heater before going to bed. Lin Shu didn’t ask what the eldest lady was busy with recently, and Ling Fengxiao didn’t talk to him either. He said that after three days, it was time to go to Huandang Mountain.
Yue Ruohe and Yue Ruoyun took the places allocated to Rumengtang, and they were going too. The two of them were looking forward to the latest flying boat developed by the Academy, and they got up early in the morning to prepare the money and set off in the atrium.
Lin Shu was waiting for the eldest lady in the room.
Last night, the lights in the eldest lady's room had been off, and it seemed that there was no one in the room, which made him a little uneasy.
When Chen Shi arrived, the eldest lady did not wait, but Ling Baochen did.
She said: "Xiao Lin Shu, the eldest miss was recalled to the capital by His Majesty's urgent edict last night. She really can't get out. This time she can't go to Huandang Mountain."
Eh.
Miss can't go
Is he going to go alone
Lin Shu lost the lead of the owner and suddenly panicked.
