Chapter 705 Far from Penglai
Penglai Mountain, located in the South China Sea, is like the shore of water.
Penglai is different from the snowy basil and Kunlun, the sacred mountain that spans the sky and the earth.
Compared to a land covered with snow all year round, like a vast sea of sand with no borders and ruins, Penglai Mountain is a paradise of evergreens all year round.
Clouds and clouds make brocade, and the eyes are green mountains.
Walking to the water, listening to the wind and lotus flowers, sweeping away fallen flowers with the immortals, riding the waves and boating, drifting with the water, as if you were a guest in the world of mortals.
The mountains and seas are lush and green, and the abbot of Penglai is everywhere.
Although Penglai is located all over the world, after all, it does not belong to the world of mortals, a fairy in the mountains, or a person on the island.
There are clearly written regulations for anyone outside the mountain, whether human or immortal, to climb Penglai.
You need to climb mountains on foot, you are not allowed to wield a sword, you are not allowed to fly, and you are not allowed to use escaping skills, so be respectful.
Not to mention Yun Rong, who is the Thirteen Swordsman of Tianxi, even if the three heads of the righteous path of the world are here, they must abide by the rules and put away their swords and walk up the mountain.
The green boat bamboo raft rides on the water to the south, and the paddle gently hits the spring rocks to reach the other shore.
Yunrong, who was dozing in the sun, was awakened by the people around him. When he opened his eyes, he saw the legendary Penglai Fairy Mountain.
A heavy fog rises from the sea, trapping mountains and water and trapping people.
Bypassing a yellow sand shoal, we stepped into the ancient mountain forest. There are large tracts of Fusu flowers and trees planted in the mountains, embracing the strange fragrance of grass and trees.
The mountain branches gently tug at the woman's belt, the wind blows, and the chirping of birds is sweet and sweet, forming a natural tune among the leaves.
In a corner deep in the mountain forest, there are wild deer hanging down their necks to drink from the stream. The mountain stream is cool and the breeze is blowing.
Penglai is very far away and the mountains are very high.
If you don’t use your spiritual power to climb the mountain, this mountain road may take a long time.
Yun Rong and Bai Lian are both people who observe etiquette, so they will not mess up the rules of this mountain.
After walking for an hour, halfway up the mountain, the evening bell rang, the afterglow of the clouds dispersed, the sun set over the western mountains, and the night was about to rise.
The sky is becoming more and more misty, drizzle begins to fall from the sky, and the soaked wild flowers and plants become darker and darker.
Bailian suddenly stopped, opened the paper umbrella, and handed it to Yun Rong.
Yun Rong was looking at the shadows of Luo Tuo and the two of them on the mountain road. Seeing him holding the umbrella without saying a word, he subconsciously took it: "Junior brother?"
There is a hanging in the mountain There were three thousand lights. In the dim light, the young Master Tianxi stepped back two steps, squatted down, and smiled at her: "Senior sister, can I carry you up the mountain?"
Yun Rong looked at half of his shoulders that were wet by the drizzle and was slightly startled.
Although they have been married for many years, the only difference is that she moved from her Tingjian House to his Dongli Villa.
Other than that, the two of them always stayed at Zongshan, were strict with themselves, got up in the morning to teach rituals, and copied scriptures in the evening, which was not much different from their pre-marriage life.
The family tradition of the sect master is very strict. As the young master of Tianxi, he was born and raised in the study pavilion since he was a child. He is rarely arranged to go down the mountain by the sect master.
Although Yun Rong was not subject to the educational control of the sect master, most of what he did when he came down the mountain was to eliminate demons and help the road.
Like today, it was the first time in their lives that the two of them traveled far together and took a boat ride to see the five lakes and nine states.
The rules for climbing Penglai are to return to the mortal world and see the world, and to enter the world with a body of mortals to refine your heart.
Unlike in the past, Yun Rong traveled to all the countries in the world. No matter how far away he was, he could escape with his sword in a matter of days.
It has been a hundred years since she became an immortal. When did someone carry her up the mountain?
For a moment, Yun Rong felt a little strange. After visiting the legendary fairy mountain and ancient land, he actually became a mortal again.
The husband of her young master was an upright and upright person. Although Yun Rong knew that she was a married woman, she could not miss the wind and the moon day after day by his side.
So even now, she has no shame and is lying down openly.
The temperature was just right with the gentle breeze blowing from the rain falling on the mountain. The fine powdery light rain fell on the surface of the paper umbrella without making any sound.
Bailian was not walking fast, a paper umbrella, overlapping mottled figures, and two rows of deep and shallow footprints on the ground soaked by the green rain, gradually drifting away.
The Xue Xue Sword was carried behind Yun Rong, the light green sword tassels hanging from her shoulders, and the soft tassels falling on his ears.
Balian seemed to feel some itching, and his ears kept twitching.
This little gesture caught Yun Rong's eyes, and she found it a bit interesting. She didn't expect that his ears were as sensitive as cat ears.
"Junior brother." She called softly.
"Yeah." Balian responded.
"Junior brother, the crowning ceremony is coming soon. I should have gone to Zhongyou to pick up the empress first, but because of my imprinting the sword spirit, I delayed such an important matter. I am afraid that the empress will blame you."
Balian smiled: "No, my mother once said in the letter that she is not in good health this year and does not need to travel far to Tianxi. Since she told me so, there must be no use for me to pick her up."
Yun Rong saw that he seemed sad and sad, so he guessed that the sect leader and Empress Yingji might have had bad feelings again.
Since they got married, the couple had been extremely loving in the first year of their marriage. As time went by, due to some sectarian prejudices in the world, the two gradually drifted apart and drifted further and further apart.
She remembered that on the eve of her wedding to her junior brother, Empress Yingji received the good news and worked all night to embroider a pair of wedding dresses with her own hands, and came to Baituo Mountain one day in advance.
But before she arrived at Dongli Xiaozhu, she met the sect leader.
Before the two could exchange a few words of greeting, they started arguing fiercely.
In anger, the lord of the clan burned the pair of robes and walked away.
Yun Rong didn’t know what happened next. He only knew that on the day of the wedding, the empress was not in the Tianxi Sword Sect’s auditorium. Even if she went to the hall to get married, there was only the sect leader.
The arms around his neck tightened, and she said softly: "It doesn't matter, after the crowning ceremony of junior brother is over, it will be the same for you and me to go to Zhongyou to visit the empress."
Bailian looked at her sideways, his eyes treacherous: "I quietly told my senior sister that my mother said that when your sword spirit matter is settled, I will take you to Zhongyou Xiao to stay for a while.
She will prepare a crowning ceremony for me in advance that is different from the one at Baituo Mountain. Let’s go quietly so that my father doesn’t know about it. "
Yun Rong rubbed his twitching ears, pursed his lips and smiled: "Okay, junior brother, don't have too high expectations of me. Although there are thousands of spirit beasts in Penglai, they are for the spirits of the four seas. The place where beasts are the most widespread, but I may not be able to successfully refine the sword spirit. "
"But don't worry, junior brother, no matter whether it succeeds or not, I will go with you to Zhongyou and accompany you to participate in the Zhongyou Crown Ceremony. "
Bailian let her pinch her ears: "Senior sister is born with a sword bone and is extremely talented. Even if you can't inscribe the sword spirit, you don't need to be too persistent. Whether you succeed or not, just follow your heart. ”
Yun Rong was surprised, she didn’t expect him to say that.
Not to mention the vast number of monks in the world, even the immortals in the ninth heaven, all attach great importance to the weapon spirit.
Those who practice swords must cultivate their sword spirit, and those who practice swords must also have their sword spirit.
Whether it is defensive or offensive, a true monk mostly has a weapon spirit of his own.
Looking at the entire Thirteen Swords of Tianxi, she is the only one who has not been able to inscribe the sword spirit.
As Bailian said, she was born with a sword bone and was highly regarded by the sword master.
But all the Thirteen Swordsmen have survived the tribulation and become immortals, but she has never had a sword spirit of her own.
If she is a sword cultivator without a sword spirit, no matter how talented she is, her path to success will be much narrower and shallower than that of her peers, and it will not last long.
Therefore, Sword Master Yu did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to ask Penglai Immortal to open the mountains to find beasts to help her complete the mission of the sword spirit.
It can be seen that the sword master attaches great importance to this matter.
The junior brother who has always been respectful and respectful to his father actually told her that there is no need to force the sword spirit, just follow your heart.
No one had ever said such a thing to Yun Rong. She blinked and said, "If I follow my junior brother's suggestion and the sect leader blames me, what should I do?"
A seemingly frightening sentence , from Yun Rong's mouth, it was calm, without any fear, just simply wanted to see his reaction.
Her junior brother always had an indifferent temperament and was not afraid of favors or humiliations. Even when he encountered the demons in the Soul Awakening Realm attacking the mountain, he was still calm and fearless.
If there is anything in this world that can scare him, it is probably the Sect Master.
Yun Rong knew that Bai Lian grew up under the severe whip of the sect leader, and it was not because he was playful when he was young.
It's just that the sect leader was extremely strict with his outstanding only son, scolding and beating him if his studies were even slightly imperfect. Although he is a young master and deserves to be honored, Yun Rong has grown up all the way and only in recent years has he come to know the hardships of being a human son.
"If father is to blame..." Bailian looked up at the green leaf pattern on the paper umbrella, smiled and said, "Then he is unreasonable. If you're unreasonable, I won't want the sword spirit next year. Let's see if he dares to get angry and curse."
Listen to his half-joking words but take it seriously
It seems like something is coming to Yun Rong. It touched the apex of my heart.
Before she could recover from the feeling, it quickly passed away without a trace.
Although the mountain road is long, it will eventually end. When Bai Lian carried her to Tianhen Peak in Penglai, the rain had stopped.
After Yun Rong put away the paper umbrella, he saw two women from the mountain fairy coming to meet him with lamps.
Because Sword Master Yu had greeted them well in advance, apart from not breaking the rules in the mountain, the Tianxi Sword Sect and Penglai could be considered to have a good relationship all year round.
Since Yun Rong and Bai Lian came here to observe etiquette, Penglai would not neglect the guests.
Under the guidance of the immortal envoy, the two of them had a spiritual fruit dinner in the mountains. The immortal envoy in the mountain was very hospitable and took them to a natural warm water spiritual spring in the territory.
That spiritual spring was conceived by the spiritual energy of earth, fire, and heaven. It has existed since the creation of the fairy world and is very precious.
If it is not a distinguished guest, it is rare to receive it with this spring.
The hot spring area is not large, only a dozen meters wide. The spring is a living spring that is endless. Although this spring is small, it nourishes thousands of living things and plants in the mountain.
After the guiding immortal envoy retreated, Yun Rong looked at the hot spring pool made of snow jade and fell into deep thought.
Although she and Balian have been married for three years, they often sleep together at night.
It’s just that she has a sword in her heart and has never fulfilled her duties as a wife. Instead, she somewhat bullied her junior brother for being ‘young and ignorant’.
Since he was born as a child, he has rarely left Dongli Xiaozhu. He spends most of his time in the bookstore every day. Even when he is about to grow up, this routine of life has never changed. Change.
The Tianxi Sword Sect focuses on pure cultivation. Although the sect leader never restrains his disciples, he himself is self-disciplined and austere.
Therefore, as a young master, Bai Lian has not been around like other sect nobles since he was a child. He has a maid who serves tea to take care of him.
At most, Yun Rong would only give instructions and take care of the swordsmanship from time to time.
As for the book pavilion, there are all obscure and profound Taoism, Buddhism and clan sword scriptures. There are not even human stories in the book, let alone wanting to learn about men and women from them.
He inherited the fine traditions of his father, and he also had a poor temperament since childhood. He never needed anyone to wait on him when bathing and changing clothes.
Yun Rong did not focus on the path of service. Three years have passed. Although they have a clear matchmaker, three matchmakers and six betrothals, they live like a fake couple.
Only when looking at this hot spring today, Yun Rong felt subtly that this way of getting along seemed to go against the rules of husband and wife.
How did the two little immortals who led the way know about the little connection between the young master of the Tianxi Sword Sect and his wife.
I just know that this spiritual spring is precious, and there are rules for access control in the mountain.
I just thought that it was natural for a husband and wife to bathe in the same pool together, and it was not a big deal.
Yunrong had a headache for a moment and didn't know how to speak.
Bailian didn't notice her troubles, and looked at the hot spring with curious eyes for a moment.
Without any unnecessary thought or avoidance, he bent down and took off his boots and socks, arranged them neatly under the snow and rocks, took off his coat, took off his hair crown, and went down to the spring to try it out first. Test the temperature.
Yun Rong thought for a while and said, "Junior brother, you should bathe here alone. It's getting late. I don't want to get my hair wet, so I won't go into the water today."
Bailian Surprised: "Senior sister has always loved to be clean. This way Coming to Penglai by boat, enjoying the rain and wind, I have been somewhat contaminated by the wind and dust. Why not wash off the water? The temperature of the spring water is just right, which can drive away the coldness of the night rain. "
Yun Rong thought, as she is. As a wife, it is against the rules to avoid conflicts.
Not to mention taking a bath together, it is not too much to do the husband and wife ceremony under the night light at this moment.
Since you are married to him, why should you imitate those cool fairies who are not stained by the mortal world and put on airs to make people annoying.
Yunrong didn't think what he thought. He walked to the spring pool and imitated Bai Lian's actions just now. He took off his boots, socks and outer robe, and entered the hot spring wearing only a white singlet.
As soon as she got into the water, her slender figure became more and more slim against the thin clothes, which pressed against her slim shoulders and well-defined back, forming a perfect and attractive frame. .
Fortunately, Bai Lian did not ask to take off the thin shirt on his body, which made Yun Rong secretly relieved.
But after she breathed a sigh of relief, she couldn't help but feel a little helpless and ridiculous about her state of mind.
Having practiced Taoism for hundreds of years, she prides herself on the beauty of the world. The worldly etiquette has nothing to do with her true heart. Her body is like an idle cloud, and her heart is like flowing water. There is no need to suffer from the seven emotions of this world.
But her current state of mind was telling her that she was just an ordinary woman after all. It turned out that she would also become confused and nervous in front of men of the opposite sex, bathing in the same water together.
Bailian looked at her wet hair in the water and said warmly: "It's okay if you get your hair wet. I'll just use magic to steam it dry for senior sister when I get back."
Yun Rong agreed. With a cry, I wanted to take off the crown and wash my hair.
Unexpectedly, Balian suddenly committed himself, reached into the water, and groped towards her.
As soon as his toes were touched by his fingertips, Yun Rong shrank his legs subconsciously, looked at him in confusion, tilted his head and asked, "Junior brother, what are you doing?"
Bailian squatted In the hot spring, the long eyebrows are extremely handsome and beautiful, and the eyebrows wet by the spring water look very good:
"Senior sister is not good at physical training. I walked on the mountain road for a long time today. I saw you secretly talking several times. Rub your legs. You must be tired from walking. I'll rub them for you to relieve the fatigue. Otherwise, when you wake up tomorrow, the fatigue is in your bones. I'm afraid you will suffer a lot tomorrow.
Senior sister will suffer a lot. If you go to Fengzhi Island to choose a spiritual beast, there will be a hard battle. My father only asked for a place to enter the island, so I will not be able to accompany him."
After hearing this, Yun Rong couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. .
After being married to him for such a long time, she has not fulfilled her duty as a wife to take care of his daily food and daily life.
Now that they are being taken care of by him considerately and tenderly, it seems that their identities have been switched.
Under the name of the young master's wife, enjoying the young master's treatment...
No matter how big-hearted Yun Rong is, she will not be so shameless.
Just as she was about to refuse, Balian saw her hesitation.
He lowered his head and chuckled, gently reached out and held her beautiful feet in his hands.
Placing the soles of her feet on his thighs with some respect and care.
“Since I am my senior sister’s husband, I can’t usually care for my wife like Sect Master Su. If I don’t care about such a trivial matter, it is really useless.”< br>
Yun Rong never thought that he would have such thoughts of self-blame, he frowned and said: "Since junior brother got married, Even though my junior brother has endured all the hardships for me, he has never said a harsh word to me, so he knows that he doesn't care enough."
Bailian shook his head, his eyelashes drooping lightly, deeply. There was something on his mind that only he knew was hidden in his eyes. He looked up at Yun Rong and said seriously: "It's not enough. It will be very difficult for senior sister to marry me."
Yun Rong also felt that it was hard for him to marry a woman like herself who was neither gentle nor considerate.
She originally thought that getting married was a very unfree thing.
But after marrying him, what she once had has not changed for a moment, and he can give her what she never had.
Just like in the past, if her hands were sore and tired from practicing swordsmanship, no one would be willing to rub her shoulders and legs to relieve her fatigue.
Nothing bad.
Looking at his serious expression, Yun Rong couldn't help but laugh. She stretched out her wet fingers and pinched his cheek: "I have never felt bitter when I can discuss swords with my junior brother every night until dawn."
百Li An lowered his head and kneaded and massaged her carefully, his voice was slow, but Very solemnly: "I am willing to discuss the sword of a lifetime with my senior sister."
His voice was light, like a light feather. When Yun Rong heard the words, for some reason, when she heard the word 'lifetime', she felt herself My heart actually felt that strange tugging feeling again.
Bailian's kneading technique was gentle and powerful, which made her feel extremely comfortable. He rubbed away the soreness in her ankles, gradually relaxing her mind, and she fell asleep leaning against the spring stone.
Afterwards, Yun Rong had his clothes and hair dried by him, and he put on a clean robe without realizing it.
Balian held her small socks and soft boots in his hands, carried her across her side and walked out of the hot spring, and made a silent gesture to the two angelic women who had been waiting for a long time.
Finally, under the envious eyes of the two immortals, they carried her back to the room.
