The sound of the bell is very pleasant, and it is exactly the same as the zither sounds at the Jinmei Festival. It also has a special beauty, which makes people feel calm when they hear it. In the air around Meilin, it seems that there are layers of invisible ripples, smoothing the small lake On the surface of the water, while clearing the mind, the remnants of the breath of those formations gradually disappeared, leaving no traces.
Obviously, these formations were forcibly broken by the master of Xuanling Sect, presumably that master had already broken in at this time.
The Xuanling Sect and the Qingshan Sect have been friends for generations, Zhao Layue was a little worried, she reached out to hold Jing Jiu's hand, and rose up with the sword.
A red sword light illuminated the old garden, followed the sound of the bell, and the breeze blew up and subsided instantly.
In the depths of the old plum garden, there is a small lake that is not unusual. By the lake are some plum trees that grow in disorder, not to mention beautiful. In the plum grove, there is a small nunnery, which is nothing special.
The road leading to Xiao'an outside the forest was blocked, and the two sides were confronting each other.
"Why can't we go in?"
A woman said with a cold face, her seemingly thin body exuded a strong power.
The woman was the envoy who participated in the Qingshan Sword Trial Conference back then.
Standing beside her, the little girl with a pretty face full of impatience is naturally the little girl who promised to give Jing Jiu and Zhao Layue the bell.
Standing on the stone path is an old eunuch, he may not be the one who arranged those formations, but it is obvious that he also wants to stop these two people from the Xuanling Sect.
The old eunuch drooped his eyelids and said expressionlessly: "There is a nobleman admiring flowers in the forest, please wait a moment."
The woman sneered and said: "Don't think that carrying out the nobles from the palace can scare us. When did the old plum garden become a forbidden place for the royal family?"
The little girl waited impatiently, and said directly: "Aunt Cui, don't talk nonsense with them, let's go in directly."
The old eunuch raised his head, his eyes flashed brightly, and shouted: "Who dares?"
Following these two words, the breath in the woods suddenly became complicated, and more than a dozen figures could be seen faintly. Judging from the breath, they should be strong guards in the palace.
Just when the swords of the two sides were on the verge of crossbows, there was a sudden gust of wind, and ripples appeared on the water surface again, scattering the sudden red sword light into countless maple leaves.
The sword light suddenly faded, and two figures appeared by the lake.
Zhao Layue said: "Who dares?"
The same two words, the old eunuch's drinking was full of power, but her tone was ordinary, understated and lacking in momentum.
But for some reason, both the old eunuch himself and the palace guards in the woods felt that the two words she asked were really difficult to deal with.
In other words, no one dares to answer this question.
After saying this, Zhao Layue remembered to let go of Jing Jiu's hand.
The old eunuch's eyes fell on her and Jing Jiu's faces, and thinking about the red sword light, he guessed the identity of the other party, his expression changed suddenly, and he quickly raised his hand to signal the guards in the forest not to move rashly.
When the little girl saw Zhao Layue, she had a surprised smile on her face, jumped up to her, held her hand, and asked, "Aren't you guys at the Meihui?"
Zhao Layue said, "Let me take a look."
"You also know?"
The little girl was a little embarrassed and said: "For this news, Zongli paid a lot of money and promised not to spread it, so it is difficult to inform you."
Zhao Layue smiled, reached out and rubbed her head, expressing that she was fine.
After doing this action, she felt a little strange why she was so used to such close actions, and subconsciously glanced at Jing Jiu.
The old eunuch was also watching Jing Jiu.
The extremely exaggerated face that had been described in the rumors really appeared in front of his eyes, and only then did he know that those descriptions were not exaggerated at all.
To be more precise, seeing Jing Jiu's face made him realize that the true perfection is indescribable.
Even if he is a eunuch, and he is already old, he still needs some mental effort to gather his mind, bowed and said: "Please wait a moment, wait for the old servant to inform..."
After confirming the identities of Zhao Layue and Jing Jiu, his attitude became very respectful, and he was going to let the guards inform the nobleman in the woods, but he didn't have time to say the word nobleman.
Because Jing Jiu didn't want to wait any longer.
For Jing Jiu, time is the least meaningful thing, but also the most meaningful thing.
There are many things that are worth spending time waiting for, such as the first snow, such as the beginning of the road tree, such as the accumulation of sand, such as returning from ten years old, but it definitely does not include waiting for notification.
Zhao Layue is also such a person.
They walked along the stone path towards the woods.
The old eunuch hesitated for a while, but in the end he didn't dare to continue to stop him, and stepped aside to get out of the way.
The little girl from the Xuanling Sect took Zhao Layue's hand and walked into the woods together, when she passed by the old eunuch, she snorted triumphantly.
The stone path extended toward the depths of the plum grove. The trees were obviously sparse, but soon the scenery behind could not be seen.
There is a bamboo wall deep in the woods, and the stone path passes through the bamboo wall and leads to the nunnery.
The bamboo wall was quiet and deserted, it seemed that the old eunuch and guards were not allowed in.
The woman was a little ashamed and said: "The Green Mountain Sect still has the most weight."
Zhao Layue said: "Senior Sister Cui speaks seriously, the two sects have different styles of conduct."
The woman understood what she meant, and thought it was true, but it was difficult to answer.
But the little girl didn't care about these things, and said directly: "That's right, Mom has been chanting, saying that your mantra is too scary, you always ask people if they want to die, your actions are too violent, and you always let people die, it's really annoying, Qian Ding Wan told me not to learn from you."
The woman smiled wryly and was speechless, she looked at Zhao Layue and was about to explain a few words, but unexpectedly Zhao Layue thought about it seriously after listening to this passage, and said: "It makes sense."
The little girl was a little surprised, and said, "Sister, are you going to change it?"
Zhao Layue thought about it again, shook her head and said, "Although it makes sense, it cannot be changed."
The little girl opened her big eyes and asked curiously, "Why?"
Zhao Layue said: "Because there are too many people who deserve to die and want to die."
The little girl noticed that her eyes were black and white, very energetic, a little envious, or yearning.
…
…
There is a tree in front of the nunnery, which has already bloomed, and the petals have fallen under the tree, pink and pink, which is very beautiful.
Not as good-looking as the beauty under the tree.
That beauty turned around and looked, her eyebrows and eyes were extremely beautiful, she was only slightly inferior to Zhu Jingjiu, and more importantly, her expression was straightforward, with a sense of innocence.
Such beauties are often most liked by men.
So the little girl of Xuanling Sect doesn't like her, and Zhao Layue doesn't like her either.
The woman stepped forward, bowed and said, "I have seen the imperial concubine."
The little girl whispered beside Zhao Layue: "She is the most favored concubine Hu Gui."
Zhao Layue was startled when she heard the words, and looked under the tree again.
Just at this moment, that beauty also looked towards her.
The two eyes meet through the petals falling with the wind.
The air in front of the nunnery seemed to be condensed.
