The deep courtyard of Yaozu Shifang is like a quiet garden, with small bridges, flowing water, clear springs, green vines winding on the wooden walls, and the ground is paved with smooth pebbles and covered with soft moss, which is very pleasant to step on. Comfortable, full of nature and tranquility.
The source stones placed here look more like a part of the landscape, integrated with the environment, and one cannot bear to destroy this harmonious beauty.
Even if you don't come here to buy stones, you just take a casual stroll here and you will feel very peaceful. You can even catch the traces of Tao and clear your mind.
Of course, even if you want to destroy, you must have enough strength to support it.
The source stones here can only buy one or two stones per kilogram of source. They are ridiculously expensive. One stone can easily cost tens of thousands of kilograms of source. Ordinary monks will never be able to afford it.
"Ding Ding Cong Cong..."
Deep in the courtyard, someone is playing the harp. Like mountains and flowing water, the sound of the harp enters the Taoist realm, adding a mysterious charm to the tranquility of the place.
"These goblins are quite particular..."
Tu Xiong murmured in a low voice, looking at the strange stones. They looked treacherous, as if he was planning to pick up a stone and run away.
Ye Nan also scanned the stones here and found that they were completely natural. Compared with the previous courtyards, they had a little more inexplicable vitality.
However, Yuantian Master Lin Chen did not stop. Hearing the sound of the piano, he looked thoughtful and continued walking towards the innermost courtyard.
"After so many years, is anyone going to enter Tianzihao Stone Garden again?"
"It looks like this person is extremely young, could it be..."
"Interesting, go and have a look."
There are many old men who are not so much choosing stones, but rather taking advantage of the tranquility of the place to have fun. Seeing Ye Nan and others who are still young, they go straight to the deepest courtyard, their eyes are shining.
Ye Nan's heart moved. The stones here were already extremely expensive. The price of the Tianzihao Stone Garden in the center was unknown.
The moment she stepped into Tianzihao Stone Garden, she had an illusion. She felt that she was not in a first-level courtyard, but in a wild land.
Desolate, vast, and cold. An extremely demonic aura rushed towards her face, directly affecting her mind, and she suddenly felt upset.
The next second, Ye Nan's heart trembled, and a black light burst out from the Dao Aquarius in her body, brushing away the chaos in her heart and regaining emptiness and clarity.
"Ding Ding Cong Cong..."
The melodious silk and bamboo, the tinkling sound of the piano, echoed in this heavy courtyard. A girl in green was playing the piano with her eyes lowered, and her hands flexibly plucked the strings, giving people a light feeling, like the curling of fairy music, attracting Birds came and danced around her.
This girl in green clothes has creamy skin, a straight nose, and disheveled black hair, but her eyes are shining with elegant agility, like green bamboo, giving her an elegant and refined beauty.
The old demon woman who translated the scriptures for Ye Nan sat cross-legged on a futon-shaped stone. There was no ripples in the ancient well, but there was a softness on her face, as if she had entered the Tao through the music of the piano.
No one wanted to interrupt this beautiful scene. Even Tu Xiong consciously closed his mouth and stood obediently beside Lin Chen.
Ye Nan looked at the girl in green quietly with her watery eyes. She felt a rather familiar wave in her body, and there were waves in her heart.
"gurgling."
At the end of the song, the lingering sound lingered, and the melodious sound of the piano seemed to still be echoing in everyone's ears. They did not move for a long time, still intoxicated by it.
The girl in green put her slender white hands over the strings, then stood up gracefully, returned to reality from the music, and opened her radiant eyes.
"If my talent is lacking and disturbs your interest in admiring stones, please bear with me."
Her voice was clear and crisp, like big beads and small beads falling on a jade plate, sweet to the ear, with a smile on her lips, and a kind of detachment and nobility that came from the heart.
At this moment, Ye Nan noticed that the girl in green glanced at her intentionally or unintentionally, as if she had noticed something.
"Miss Qingzhu's piano art has reached a state of perfection, like mountains and flowing water, like fairy music in the vast cold. It is as subtle as a fairy, and it is intoxicating. The old man can listen to this music before falling asleep, and he will have no regrets in this life."
An old man spoke, showing great respect for the girl. He was from the Ancient Clan and was about to proclaim himself. Maybe he was unwilling to be lonely, or he was afraid of sitting in the long self-proclaimed years, and he still lingers in the stone workshop until now.
The old monk in the deep courtyard, not to mention the most noble elder among all tribes, still chooses to lower his posture in front of the girl, which all shows that this girl's status is extremely noble.
"The Xiaoyao family has spanned millions of years and has been immortal. It has witnessed the legends of many emperors. Every generation of descendants is born, and they are the leaders of the younger generation. I am lucky enough to meet you here today. I am so old and polite."
Another old man spoke and told the origin of the girl in green.
This statement completely confirmed Ye Nan's guess. The girl in green was indeed from the Tianzun family, the Xiaoyao family.
The fluctuation she felt before was exactly the secret of the word "行".
And this woman's detachment and self-confidence from the heart, she had experienced it closely from the person who was the secret successor of the word "zhe" in the Changsheng family.
If there are no accidents, this woman is the descendant of the "Xing" character secret in the world, and she has mastered the complete "Xing" character secret, which is an unparalleled imperial skill that can be called heaven-defying.
The Tianzun family in this world are all named after their ancestors. As long as the title can be reflected in the name, it doesn't matter who the last name is. For example, the head of the Changsheng family is named Mu Changsheng, but their descendants are named after the Tao of Changsheng. This is an honor that belongs exclusively to the Tianzun family.
The girl in green is called Qingzhu, so her name is Xiaoyao Qingzhu, because the Tianzun who founded the Xiaoyao family was named Xiaoyao Tianzun.
"Senior has said it."
Xiaoyao Qingzhu shook her head slightly and denied it modestly, but her eyes were still radiant, and anyone could feel her confident demeanor.
Ye Nan noticed that her eyes would always glance over at him nonchalantly, and her heart moved. She knew that the other party must have already reached the realm of cultivation in the Secret of Xingzi. She thought that she could easily detect the fluctuations of the Secret of Xingzi in her body.
"This young master has no fluctuations in cultivation, but he came straight to the Tianzihao Stone Garden. Looking at the entire Northern Territory, I am afraid that only the contemporary Yuan Tianshi has such courage."
Xiaoyao Qingzhu had a confident smile on her lips, her eyes were elegant and agile, and she looked at Lin Chen.
As soon as these words came out, before the person involved could say anything, several old men began to scream strangely and huffed around them.
"Are you the Master Yuan Tian who turns stone into gold?"
One of the old men looked unkind and asked in a deep voice.
When Lin Chen saw this, the corner of his mouth twitched a few times, but he still nodded.
"boom!"
Suddenly, several old men swarmed up, as if they had been given a shot of blood, looking at Lin Chen left and right, more seriously than looking at a stone.
"Come on, old man, let me see how long your hands are!"
"Don't push, don't push. Young man, I have a stone that I have been staring at for half my life. Why don't you help me look at it? There will be a big reward!"
"Touch Master Yuan Tian's hand, feel happy, turn stone into gold!"
When Lin Chen saw this, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled awkwardly. The old men's eyes were all wet, and they almost stripped themselves naked to study them carefully.
"It hurts! Old man, please watch carefully! Master Yuan Tian is over there!"
The scene was very chaotic for a time. Even Tu Xiong was stepped on several times. The pain caused him to grin and keep pulling out these old men who looked like they had been beaten to death.
At this moment, Ye Nan was walking among the strange rocks, with fairy light flowing in her beautiful eyes, paying no attention to the noise behind her.
The moment a few old men pounced on her, she turned into a stream of light and flew out, avoiding the impact just in time.
At the same time, Ye Nan was keenly aware that Xiaoyao Qingzhu's eyes had never moved away from her the moment she came out.
