Dismantling the restrictions on the red jade box is like freeing yourself from the nine links. Every step of the trial has to be done carefully. If you make any mistakes, you have to start all over again. Time passed by, day turned into night, night turned into day, Qin Zhen never left, Yu Yao came out of the quiet room, served him tea and water, Wei Shiqi indulged in it, as if he didn't realize it.
Seventy-two basic talismans make up this complicated restriction, like a maze with no solution, and every road is a dead end. After trying countless times, Wei Shiqi failed again. The talisman glowed with a slender red light, connected into one piece, connected with each other, and came back together again.
Qin Zhen served the warm tea at the right time, and Wei Shiqi took a few sips from her hand. He turned over and looked at the red jade box, and suddenly remembered an old incident. The high priest of the Iron-headed Gaoyantuo tribe prayed for the bones to save his life. Use essence and blood to erase the restriction on intrigue on the two-phase ring. The restriction on the red jade box is no simpler than the restriction on intrigue. Without special techniques, it may be unsustainable just by dismantling it.
But what exactly is hidden in the red jade box that needs to be locked so tightly with restrictions? Wei Shiqi became curious.
From that day on, there was an eternal scenery on Jietian Ridge. A person held the red jade box with his head lowered, poking and scratching tirelessly. The sky is sometimes cloudy and sometimes clear, the clouds are sometimes rolling and sometimes relaxing. When the wind is bright and sunny, he walks and stops, sometimes stands for a long time, sometimes without stopping. During rainy and snowy seasons, he hides under the rocks, from morning to night. He lowered his head and didn't even change his posture.
Ruan Jing was angry and funny. She left her beautiful quiet room unused and wandered around in the wild. She didn't know what was wrong with her. In fact, Wei Shiqi had no special intention in doing this, it was just a deep-rooted habit, a habit of the "bow-headed people" that does not exist in this world.
For Qin Zhen and Yu Yao, these years have been very smooth. Although they don't talk much, Wei Shiqi doesn't have to be in seclusion all day long. They can see him all the time when walking under the sunshine and white clouds, and have a drink with him every now and then. , listen to some songs, how relaxing and comfortable it is. Ruan Jing, on the other hand, did not appear too much next to Wei Shiqi. In a sense, she was deliberately compensating Qin and Yu. The day for the reunion was still long and she was not in a hurry for the scene in front of her.
At Yu Yao's soft request, Wei Shiqi left the Eight Fairy Fairy Screen to her to play with. In Qin Zhen's view, she showed unusual enthusiasm for this thing. Whenever she had free time, she would tirelessly follow the characters in the screen. She talked with the female musicians, learned from them, and taught them to sing. When she avoided her, she always whispered to Liusu who played the pipa, not knowing what she was talking about.
After years of staying together day and night, their relationship has eased a lot. Qin Zhen occasionally heard her mention the past of Qizhen Mountain, the first snow, moonlight, plum blossoms, and poetry collections. These fragmentary fragments pieced together a moving picture in her mind. She could imagine it. , a quiet and elegant woman leaned in front of the window, quietly reading the poems of the predecessors. Those words traveled through the years, bringing the joy and sorrow of the ancients to the moonlight of today.
From Yu Yao's mouth, she knew for the first time that Wei Shiqi could write poetry. That hunter from Laoya Ridge can sing, write poems, and tell stories. Is he a gentle scholar at heart?
When she was only in her early years, she became a disciple of Xiandu. She was not very literate and had not read many books. After reaching adulthood, in order to follow in the footsteps of Wei Shiqi, he devoted himself to cultivation and had no time to care about anything else. In her eyes, Yu Yao is a proud and weak person. She may have good qualifications, but her character is not strong enough. If she had not followed Wei Shiqi, she would have been like a duckweed in the water, following the waves and unable to control her own destiny.
But this time, Qin Zhen couldn't see through her. There seemed to be some kind of unspoken understanding between her and Wei Shiqi. The Eight Lady Fairy Le Ping connected them and excluded her. This made her She felt bad.
This day is the beginning of autumn, the cool breeze is coming, the white dew is growing, and the cicadas are chirping. Qin Zhen went to Taiyi Valley alone to visit Ruan Jing.
Next to the stream under the cliff, she met Ruan Jing's apprentice Jin Sansheng.
Jin Sansheng was dressed in a green robe, sitting cross-legged, with a sheathed sword lying across his legs. The morning sun shone on his young face, and suddenly there was a clear sword cry, and the sword flew out of its sheath, rushing into the sky. After a thousand twists and turns and dancing, it spit out three feet of sword light, which was pure green in color and condensed without dispersing. It was obvious that it had enough energy to move.
In just over ten years, he broke through the Taoist, Sword Seed, Sword Control, and Sword Aura levels, and entered the palace. His progress was so fast that it was jaw-dropping. Everyone up and down the Liushi Peak regarded him as a rare genius that could only be seen in a hundred years, and even Even Pu Tianwei was moved by his love for talents and went to Taiyi Valley in person, intending to introduce them to Kunlun.
Ruan Jing did not refuse directly, but just told him that Jin Sansheng practiced Qingming Jue. Is there anyone on Flowing Stone Peak who is more suitable to guide him in his cultivation?
At that time, Park Tianwei pondered for a long time, acquiesced to Ruan Jing's opinion, and stopped mentioning the matter. However, he was very concerned about Jin Sansheng, and ordered Chu Ge to visit him often. There was a constant supply of elixirs, and flying swords for him to choose from. At first, Chu Ge did not understand why the master valued Jin Sansheng so much. He broke through four levels in ten years, although it was surprising. Talented, but not unique. At least in his impression, there were five or seven people on Flowing Stone Peak who were not inferior to him.
Pu Tianwei reminded him that Jin Sansheng practiced Qingming Jue.
Of the four Kunlun techniques, it is recognized that the Chaos technique is the most difficult, followed by the Qingming technique. The Red Lotus technique and the Zhuyin technique are easier to master. Among the five or seven people he knows, no one practices the Qingming technique.
The only explanation is that he has Su Hui.
Chu Ge pondered for a long time, feeling horrified. He had not experienced such a feeling for many years.
Qin Zhen was a disciple of Chu Ge. Every time he came to Taiyi Valley to visit Jin San Province, Chu Ge would stop by to visit Wei Shiqi, often without meeting him. Then he would chat with Qin Zhen, and he would not hide it from his disciple. , revealed some information intentionally or unintentionally, Qin Zhen remembered it in her heart, and naturally looked at Jin Sansheng differently.
The morning light shone on Jin Sansheng and also on Qin Zhen. She stepped lightly and stepped away, not to disturb him while practicing his sword.
Ancient trees cover the sky, and the sun shines through the dense branches and leaves, casting beams of light. The dust flies like naughty elves playing. She leaned against the smooth tree trunk and suddenly heard a chuckle above her head. She looked up and saw Ruan Jing sitting among the branches, smiling like a flower, looking down at herself.
She hurriedly gathered her clothes to see Elder Ruan.
Ruan Jing waved her little hand and said: "You're welcome, this is not Liushi Peak. In Jietian Ridge, you are not a disciple of Kunlun, and I am not an elder of Kunlun. We are just monks outside Dongming City."
Qin Zhen understood what she meant and smiled without insisting.
"In the past few years, you have rarely come to Taiyi Valley, and you always go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Tell me, what's the matter?" Ruan Jing swayed her feet, her eyes moved, and her expression was a little cunning.
Qin Zhen hesitated for a moment and said: "There is one thing about Yu Yao and the Eight Lady Fairy Le Ping..."
She was speechless and didn't know how to continue.
Ruan Jing clasped her hands together, put her fingertips against her chin, and said with a smile: "Did you guess something, or do you have doubts?"
Qin Zhen felt relieved and knew that she had asked the right person. Ruan Jing obviously knew something. Wei Shiqi didn't hide it from her, and she couldn't help but feel a little sad.
