After the five people left, a group of disciples dressed in white walked from the edge of the square. After arriving in front of the disciples, they dispersed and each led several people to find the arranged accommodation.
The Zileifeng group also followed a disciple in white down the square and came to a quiet courtyard on the mountainside.
The layout of the small courtyard is simple and elegant, with seven or eight rooms inside. The environment is very quiet, which is quite in line with the Taoist artistic conception of tranquility and inaction.
When Bu Xiaotian saw that there were only five of his senior brothers and Yun Ying was missing, he became a little worried and asked:
"Senior brother, I wonder where my little junior sister Situ Yunying has gone. Why is she not with us?"
"Junior brother, don't worry. Although our Yuxu Sect does not allow men to marry and women to marry, we must also take care of the protection of men and women. Naturally, we cannot allow male and female disciples to mix. The female disciples are arranged in a separate courtyard on the other side.
I wonder if Junior Sister Situ has other female disciples that she is familiar with? "
The disciple in white saw Bu Xiaotian asked and answered truthfully.
"Oh, she knows Senior Sister Lan Yunxin from Yuzhu Peak."
When Bu Xiaotian heard the words of the disciple in white, he thought that nothing would happen to Ying'er on the main peak of Yuxu Sect, and his expression relaxed.
"Then there is no need to worry, Junior Sister Situ must be living with the disciples of Yuzhu Peak.
The disciples of Yuzhu Peak live in the courtyard on the other side of the mountain road. If you want to find them, you only need to follow the mountain road that you just passed to the other side. "
As the disciple spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to Bu Xiaotian in the direction of the Yuzhu Peak disciple's residence.
"Okay, thank you very much, senior brother!"
After hearing this, Bu Xiaotian bowed to the disciple in white and thanked him.
"Junior brother, you don't have to be polite, but junior brother, you must remember not to go there again after the Youshi period, or you will be beaten up as a pervert!"
Seeing Bu Xiaotian being so polite, the disciple smiled and joked.
"Okay, I remember."
Bu Xiaotian also answered with a smile.
"Then I won't stay any longer. Brothers and sisters, I will take my leave."
The disciple in white bowed his hands to several people and turned around to leave.
"Okay, junior brother, walk slowly!"
Cheng Yunliang and others did not stay with him any longer. They also bowed in return and watched the disciple in white leave.
After the disciple left, several brothers greeted each other, each chose a room, and entered the room to practice.
After Bu Xiaotian entered the room, the figure of Lan Yunxin dressed in white that he saw in the square appeared unconsciously in front of his eyes, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
I really had no intention of meditating, so I simply stood up, opened the door, left the room, and walked out of the small courtyard.
Along the way, I also met some disciples from other peaks. Although they didn't know each other, they all smiled and nodded to each other as a greeting.
Not long after, Bu Xiaotian came to the path mentioned by the disciple in white.
Just as he was about to walk forward along the path to look for cloud shadows, he saw two figures slowly appearing on the corner in front of him. They were both women, one was petite and wearing a blue dress, and the other was slightly taller and taller. Wear a white dress.
When the two got closer, Bu Xiaotian took a closer look and saw that the people coming were none other than Yun Ying and Lan Yunxin.
The two of them walked forward slowly, talking and laughing, and they were so focused in their conversation that they didn't even notice Bu Xiaotian standing at the intersection for a while.
"Ying'er." Bu Xiaotian shouted softly.
Hearing Bu Xiaotian's voice, the two of them realized that there was someone standing in front of them.
Yun Ying looked up and saw that it was Bu Xiaotian. Surprise flashed across his face. He ran up to Bu Xiaotian with a few brisk steps, grabbed his arm and shook it, saying:
"Brother Xiaotian, why are you here? Sister Yun Xin and I were planning to go find you!"
"Junior brother has met Senior Sister Lan!"
Bu Xiaotian listened to Ying'er's words, but kept staring at Lan Yunxin. After Yun Ying finished speaking, he opened his mouth to greet Lan Yunxin.
"Junior brother, you don't have to be polite. Ying'er didn't see you and was clamoring to come see you, so I accompanied her here to find you."
Lan Yunxin returned the gesture slightly and explained with a smile.
"It will cause trouble to Senior Sister!"
When Bu Xiaotian heard this, he immediately knew what was going on and stopped thinking about it.
"No! Ying'er is very well-behaved!"
Yun Ying was a little unconvinced after hearing Bu Xiaotian's words.
"hehe."
"hehe."
Seeing Yun Ying's appearance, the two of them chuckled in unison. They found that the other party was also laughing and looked at each other unconsciously.
"Oh, don't stand here anymore. I just saw a lot of fun places on Wuji Peak. Let's go and see them together!"
Yun Ying saw that the two of them looked a little embarrassed despite having a lot to say, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward, so he took their hands from left to right and walked up the mountain.
Bu Xiaotian and Lan Yunxin looked at each other and nodded slightly towards Ying'er, indicating that they agreed to Ying'er's proposal.
The three of them followed the path they came from and returned to the square.
There were not many people in the square at this time. Most of the disciples must be practicing in their own residences, preparing to perform well in the upcoming competition and stand out.
Arriving at the square, Yun Ying looked very excited, and soon left the two of them to go play somewhere.
Along the way, Bu Xiaotian and Lan Yunxin basically listened to what Yun Ying said, and the two of them hardly spoke.
At this time, Yun Ying ran away on his own. The two of them didn't know what to say for a while, so they had to walk forward slowly in silence.
We walked all the way to the edge of the square and watched the clouds and mist billowing all around, which was extremely spectacular.
Finally, Lan Yunxin broke the silence:
"Junior Brother Bu, I remember when you and I met seven years ago, it was also in this square. At that time, you were holding the divine sword 'Ganjiang' and practicing the "Yuxu Sword Technique" under the moon."
"Senior Sister Lan is right."
Bu Xiaotian didn't know why she suddenly talked about what happened back then. Although he was a little confused, he still responded.
"I didn't expect that it would be seven years in the blink of an eye. Compared to that time, Junior Brother Bu, you have grown much taller, and you have also broken through to the fourth level of the Daoxuan Sutra."
Lan Yunxin said, with some emotion in her words.
"Haha, I was just lucky." When Bu Xiaotian heard Lan Yunxin's compliments, he smiled sheepishly and scratched his head numbly.
"I wonder if Junior Brother Bu knows that this 'Gan Jiang' is actually a male sword, and there is a divine sword that was made from the same furnace as it, called 'Moye', which is a female sword. This male and female sword are originally a pair. Is there a poignant story in this?"
Lan Yunxin looked at the shy Bu Xiaotian, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and asked again.
"I have heard of the name of the Divine Sword 'Moye'. As for the details, I'm not too clear about it. I wonder if Senior Sister Lan can tell me a little bit about it?"
Bu Xiaotian didn't know that the sword "Gan Jiang" behind him actually had such a connection with the legendary "Mo Xie". When he heard Lan Yunxin talk about it, he couldn't help but feel curious.
"It is said that a long time ago, there was a very powerful swordsmith, his name was Gan Jiang, and his wife was named Moye.
Every time Gan Jiang forged a sword, Moye would smile and silently fan himself for Gan Jiang and wipe his sweat. The couple was very loving and sweet.
Until one day, someone found Gan Jiang and gave him the essence of gold and iron collected from the five mountains and six rivers, so that he could make a divine sword.
If it succeeds, you will live; if it fails, you will die.
The person coming was so powerful that the general couldn't refuse, so he had to agree and start forging.
However, three months have passed, and the gold and iron essence in the furnace shows no sign of melting. If the iron essence does not melt, the sword cannot be made, and the general will be killed.
That night, the general woke up from his dream, and there was no trace of his wife beside him. He hurriedly ran to the stove, only to see Mo Xie standing in the raging flames, looking at the hurriedly coming general, with a sad look on his face. Her smile, like a mortal fairy, slowly turned into ashes.
It turns out that the essence of gold and iron is indestructible. If you want to melt it, you must bend your body and soul to the furnace fire and calcine it.
The general didn't want to sacrifice innocent people, let alone forge swords for evildoers, so he never revealed this method.
Moye didn't want Gan Jiang to die, so he decided to sacrifice himself, so he jumped into the sword furnace while Gan Jiang was sleeping.
Seeing this scene, Qian was heartbroken, walked up to the furnace wall, and said softly to the blazing fire, if you weren't here, what would I do living alone in the world?
Nothing in this world can separate us!
After saying that, he jumped up and fell into the blazing fire.
At this moment, the iron essence melted, and two divine swords were naturally formed in the fire. One sword was slender, like a beautiful woman, and the other sword was broad, like a burly man.
The thin sword is a female sword, and later generations named it Moye. The broad sword is a male sword, and later generations named it Ganjiang. "
At this point, Lan Yun's heart burst into tears, as if he was Mo Xie in the story.
Bu Xiaotian was also moved by the story, with tears on his face.
Just when Bu Xiaotian was about to speak, Lan Yunxin continued to preach:
"It is said that no matter how far apart the two swords are, they will try to find a way to get closer to each other, because there are the souls of Gan Jiang and Mo Xie in the sword, and they will be together forever.
Nothing can separate them, nothing can separate them! "
The story ended here, and both of them were silent for a long time, just walking forward quietly.
Bu Xiaotian took out a white silk handkerchief from his arms and handed it to Lan Yunxin. Lan Yunxin glanced at Bu Xiaotian in surprise, but did not take it, seeming a little surprised that a man always carried such a thing with him.
"It's... clean. My mother left it to me. I've been keeping it since the incident in the village."
Being stared at by Lan Yunxin, Bu Xiaotian's face felt a little hot and he couldn't help but explain.
That night, my mother only left two things for herself, one was the jade pendant hanging around her neck, and the other was this square silk handkerchief.
I usually carry it with me carefully and regard it as a treasure, but today I don’t know why I accidentally gave it to the woman next to me, probably because she is as beautiful as her mother at this time.
Lan Yunxin took the silk handkerchief from Bu Xiaotian's hand and gently wiped away the tears on her face.
Bu Xiaotian directly wiped his face clean with his sleeves.
After Lan Yunxin wiped away the tear stains, she did not return the silk handkerchief to Bu Xiaotian. Instead, she carefully folded it neatly and put it into her arms.
Bu Xiaotian was too embarrassed to ask for it.
The two stood quietly like this, and no one spoke for a while.
After a while, Lan Yunxin raised the sword in his hand.
"Look at this sword."
I saw that the long sword was hidden in a silver scabbard. The hilt was also silver-white, with mysterious lines on it.
"This, is this 'Moye'?"
Bu Xiaotian looked at the long sword in front of him, a hint of shock flashed across his face, and then a look of understanding appeared on his face.
Seeing Bu Xiaotian's expression change, Lan Yunxin calmly did not disturb him.
After a while, Bu Xiaotian calmed down a bit and then slowly said:
"Actually, from the day I met you at Wuji Peak, I felt a slight movement in Mo Xie, as if I felt a hint of joy coming from the sword, as if I had met the person I love."
After listening to Lan Yunxin's words, Bu Xiaotian carefully recalled every detail of the day he met Lan Yunxin on Wuji Peak.
In fact, that day he also felt a slight movement in the "Go-Jiang" in his hand. Now that he thought about it carefully, it was exactly the same as what Lan Yunxin said.
It's just that he was in a confused mood at the time and didn't care about it.
After thinking about it, Bu Xiaotian felt a little inexplicable loss in his heart.
It turns out that she only noticed him because of the divine sword "Gan Jiang" in her hand.
That's right, I'm not a handsome and elegant young man, so why would I attract the attention of the immortal-like Senior Sister Lan?
Seeing Bu Xiaotian lowering his head and remaining silent, Lan Yunxin softly spoke again:
"Junior Brother Bu, I wonder if you can let me see the sword on your back?"
Seeing that Butian still didn't answer, he quickly hid the disappointment in his heart.
Lan Yunxin explained:
"Junior Brother Bu, don't get me wrong. I don't want your sword, I just want to see it."
