"Of course! Of course!" Dongfeng Ye was overjoyed.
Mu Wanyan reached out and wiped the white gauze on her face, and then said, "I have one more request."
"Miss Mu, please tell me!"
"You shall not remove the veil from my face until we are married."
"Okay, I promise you."
"You can't even take it off secretly while I'm sleeping!"
"Okay!" Dongfengye was overjoyed to receive the beauty's consent and was willing to agree to anything.
After Dongfeng Ye left, Qin Bai, who had been hiding outside the door for a long time, finally couldn't help but sneak in. He said: "Miss Mu, if you really don't want to marry that old Dongfeng Ye, I can take you away from the Holy Land." Sword Pavilion!"
Mu Wanyan said: "No need."
Qin Bai said: "Miss Mu... If you are worried about being laughed at and breaking your contract, I have another way. I can help you find a top disguise master to help you disguise yourself into an ugly person. Wait for that Dongfeng Ye Seeing how ugly the person under the veil is, he will definitely break the contract."
Mu Wanyan chuckled: "You can also think of this method!"
Qin Bai looked at Mu Wanyan worriedly: "Miss Mu, I can't bear to see you deep in the dragon's pond and tiger's den, and that east wind night..."
Mu Wanyan said: "Dongfengye is the master of the Holy Sword Pavilion, he will not mess with me. Besides, we agreed to get married after one year, which means I have a year to get to know this person clearly. "
Qin Bai frowned and said: "Miss Mu, marriage is not a happy matter. If you still don't fall in love with him after a year, will you still marry him?"
Mu Wanyan thought for a while and said: "No one can predict what will happen in a year. Even if I really don't fall in love with Dongfeng Ye by then, with my ability, I still have a way to leave the Holy Sword Pavilion!"
Mu Wanyan didn't understand what the disappointment in Qin Bai's eyes meant. Just because he also liked Mu Wanyan, he naturally didn't want Mu Wanyan to be trapped in this dragon's den and marry someone he didn't love. .
But compared to himself, Dongfeng Ye seemed to be much better than him. He was not the master of the Holy Sword Pavilion, he did not have strong martial arts, and he could not forge a sword as powerful as the Sword Emperor Daoxin. At best, he was only a little younger than Dongfeng Ye.
Qin Bai lowered his head in humiliation and sat at the tea table nearby without saying a word.
Mu Wanyan said: "Yetang Shengxue lost to the Sword Emperor Daoxin. Qin Bai, you can follow your master's agreement and go to Dongfeng Ye to forge a sword for you."
"Miss Mu... why did you give up Ye Tang Shengxue so easily? Ye Tang Shengxue is intact. In this case, maybe if you compete again, you will definitely be able to defeat the Sword Emperor Daoxin!"
Mu Wanyan shook her head and said, "It's useless."
"Why?"
"I don't know what kind of sword spirit Dongfeng Ye has entered. The Sword Emperor Daoxin has a powerful force. Although my Ye Tang Shengxue has not entered the spirit, it is one with me..."
Qin Bai seemed to understand after listening, and Mu Wanyan didn't expect him as a layman to understand everything. After all, there were some things she couldn't tell others, such as who she was, where she came from, and what Ye Tang Shengxue was hiding. secret.
What happened next was that Qin Bai handed over the Flame Turtle to Dongfeng Ye. Originally, he planned to invite the Sword Emperor Daoxin to leave, but Dongfeng Ye refused.
Dongfeng Ye said: "The sword emperor's Taoist heart is not suitable for your master. What he wants this time is the national sword!"
Qin Bai was shocked: "You! You actually know who my master is?"
Dongfengye raised his head and laughed loudly: "Before I build weapons for others, I will investigate the identity of the other person first. Although your master is unwilling to reveal his identity, I can still find out who he is."
Qin Bai was shocked and couldn't believe that the Holy Sword Pavilion could really be so vast.
Dong Yefeng said: "Actually, it is not difficult to find out who your master is. After all, the Flame Turtle is so auspicious, not everyone can get it. Your master has a noble status, and I will do everything for him." Forge a sword that suits his identity. After one year, you can return to the Holy Sword Pavilion and take away this sword!"
Qin Bai was puzzled and asked hurriedly: "I don't understand, why does it have to be a year later?"
Dongfeng Ye said: "This sword needs to go through spring, summer, autumn and winter, four seasons of wind and rain, absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, infuse it, and be burned by the fire of the flame turtle, so it will take a year!"
Qin Bai nodded, thinking that in a year's time, maybe I would still have time to attend Miss Mu's wedding, and it would be good to see her again, so he nodded.
"I wonder what the name of this sword is? I can't return empty-handed and have the master punish me! Please give me a name by the Pavilion Master!"
Dongfeng Ye thought for a while, and then said: "Since it is made of the flame turtle, let's name it - Hongfeng Luoyan."
More than half a month after Qin Bai left, Mu Wanyan met Monk Guyuan by the lake.
The monster monk in white robes was still looking for the white snake that turned into bones. He firmly believed that the evil beast must still be hiding in Yuechan Town, but he had searched almost all over Yuechan Town in the past half month. Nothing was found.
Mu Wanyan stood on the red arch bridge, looked at the monk lighting a lotus lantern under the bridge, and asked: "Monk, have you found that guy?"
Monk Gu Yuan raised his head and saw a woman in green clothes standing on the red arch bridge. Her waist was as slim as a willow, her clothes were blown by the wind, she was holding a red oil-paper umbrella, and she was still wearing the white gauze face scarf.
"Is it you? Have you not left Yuechan Town yet?"
"What? You can't find the white snake that turned into bones. Are you trying to trouble me?"
"As long as you don't commit murder, your business has nothing to do with me!"
"You are still a reasonable monk!"
"Haha! With my current status, I am not qualified to care about your affairs!"
Mu Wanyan said: "Do you know about the Holy Sword Pavilion?"
"I know." The monk in white clothes stood by the lake, his clothes gently ruffled by the long wind, and his eyes seemed to be looking towards the past.
Gu Yuan said: "Two hundred years ago, the Holy Sword Pavilion was a famous sword-making family in Yuechan Town. At that time, their pavilion master had not yet made a world-famous sword, and there were not many people who came here to ask for the sword. But now , I heard that the sword forged by the trusting Pavilion Master Dongfang Ye has become a famous weapon that is highly sought after in the world, and people in the world have come to ask him for the sword."
"You know quite a lot, but do you know that I made a bet with him half a month ago. If Ye Tang Shengxue can beat the Sword Emperor Dao Heart he made, then he will never make swords again. Otherwise, I will marry Give him a wife!”
Gu Yuan was startled, then suddenly laughed and said: "You should be sure of this bet. After all, Dongfang Ye is just a mortal no matter how powerful he is. How can the sword he forged be compared to the sword you forged?"
Mu Wanyan's heart trembled slightly, and the wind blew the hair on her face: "It's a pity that I lost to him."
"What? How is it possible?" Gu Yuan couldn't believe it. He looked up at Mu Wanyan and seemed to see a hint of loneliness in her eyes.
Mu Wanyan smiled and said: "Didn't you just ask me why I stayed in Yuechan Town? Now you know the answer, right?"
Gu Yuan sighed: "You must be thinking that life is only a short period of a hundred years. A hundred years is nothing to you. You just spent a short time to accompany him."
Mu Wanyan said: "I'm not afraid of your jokes. When I agreed to this bet, I never thought that I would lose."
Gu Yuan said: "So now you regret agreeing to this bet?"
Mu Wanyan said: "That's not true. He promised me to get married in a year, so we have a year to get to know each other. And after more than half a month of getting along, I feel that he is a good person. man."
Gu Yuan nodded and said: "He is a good man. Is that the man you love in your heart?"
Mu Wanyan smiled and said: "From the day that person created me, I have never fallen in love with anyone. Perhaps it is because the person who created me has never fallen in love with anyone, so we are very Similarly, it was difficult for my heart to understand what love is. Later..."
Gu Yuan looked at Mu Wanyan and frowned slightly. He did not expect that she would tell him everything about her. Perhaps it was because he had now become a demon monk. As a demon, he also had some mutual understanding. feelings.
"Later, after I survived the seal, I left the royal city. I wandered around, visited different places, and met many people. In the end, I only became interested in sword-making. Perhaps this is also related to My master is the same. When I focus on a work, I will have the feeling of being fully immersed and out of body. At that time, I feel that I am alive because I can create wonderful works. .”
"I wanted to create something alive like my master, so I began to try to enter the spirit with the sword. Until Ye Tang Shengxue appeared, it was the only sword that could be integrated with my demon spirit. I have always thought I was proud of this and believed that no mortal in the world could create a sharp blade that could defeat the demon clan. Until I met Dongfeng Ye, I have to say that he is indeed a genius!"
Gu Yuan looked at Mu Wanyan and said, "You have memories in your heart because that man defeated you and you found a mountain to look up to. But you are not an ordinary person. Soon you will see the mediocrity of ordinary people. Eventually this mountain will turn into a lake, and you will see a higher mountain and leave here, which is cruel to Dongfeng Ye."
Mu Wanyan said: "If I get married to him in a year, then before I leave him, I will keep my promise and protect him until his death. Then, as you said, human life is short, but we monsters He is just a passerby in the family's life, I will forget him and start my new life."
Gu Yuan smiled slightly, looked at the lotus lantern floating in the lake, pointed at it and said: "Look, you thought it would not be able to leave traces in the lake in the end, but it reflected the blurred lights of a lake. In the end, you During those long lonely years, I will begin to miss the fireworks and romance I saw today. This is called memory, and it is a debt that mankind has been unable to escape since ancient times. When you understand this feeling, you will understand that letting a person enter The heart is the most stupid thing in the world. The four elements of my Buddha are empty, and nothing will leave a trace in the heart. Only in this way can the mind be as still as water and empty."
