Chapter 221 The heroine’s name is He Shutong
“Then later… you pretended to be Taoist companions with your traveling master, and stayed in Izumo City to experience the world of mortals… until today.”
He Shutong spoke softly, and his beautiful eyes glanced at You Su from time to time as he spoke, as if he wanted to see the changes in his heart from the young man's expression.
After talking about this riddled experience, He Shutong was really worried that his image in the hearts of young people would be greatly reduced.
“So Master’s wife was so indifferent before... because she practiced Bingxin Kung Fu?”
You Su frowned, but it was not contempt or confusion, but full of heartache. .
It turns out that he really thinks I am cold...
"That's right. But...now that Bing Xin Gong has been resolved, I am no different from ordinary people."
He Shutong hesitated for a moment and chose to explain.
"Why was it resolved?" You Su asked with concern.
He Shutong lowered his eyes slightly. It was naturally impossible for him to tell You Su that it was him, so he had to conceal it:
"If the experience is successful, it will naturally disappear."
You Su heard this. Nodding, he didn't ask any more questions, but seemed to be muttering to himself:
"That's great...it turns out that the master lady didn't mean to be so indifferent...I thought..."
Voice It's very shallow, but it can't escape the ears of Lord Dongxu.
He Shutong's beautiful eyes fluttered, and he felt that the softest corner of his heart was touched.
Instead of criticizing her or blaming her, this young man was glad that it was not because of his poor performance that he failed to win the love of his wife, but because of her passive skills.
"After listening...you have nothing to say?"
He Shutong's eyes flickered and he asked tentatively.
Because this life experience was too painful, she had always kept it deep in her heart and had never shown it to others. You Su was the first person to whom she took the initiative to tell it.
Therefore, she wanted to know what the boy thought of her.
Yousu thought for a long time.
In this cold December, the red fairy flowers radiate heat, coaxing the originally cold pool water to become warm.
The water in the pool enveloped You Su, and the thick black energy in it seeped into his body along the pores, while He Shutong was waiting for the boy's answer at the other end of the pool.
You Su had a vague illusion, as if the warm pool water was an extension of the master's wife's arms, and she was hugging him.
How cold she used to be, she is so gentle now.
“Master’s wife is a pitiful person.”
You Su gave his own evaluation. As soon as he finished speaking, he hurriedly explained:
“I have nothing else. It’s just nonsense, Master, don’t take it to heart.”
There is no reason in this world to say that Venerable Dongxu is pitiful. If it were anyone else, I am afraid he would have been punished for being disrespectful. .
He Shutong was slightly stunned, actually feeling that this word was so appropriate for her, and a bitter taste came up in his heart.
"It's just a casual chat, don't be formal. Why...why do you think so?"
"If it were to start over again, would the master's wife stick to her chosen swordsmanship, or would she choose to listen to her mother's words? "Why don't you learn the art of literature and art that you don't like?" You Su asked back.
Actually, He Shutong has thought about the answer to this question many times, and every time she would regret it. If she had not stubbornly chosen what she liked, maybe everything would have been different.
But that seemingly firm answer became hesitant under You Su’s question.
"I...I don't know either."
He Shutong could vaguely sense that if she said words of regret, it would probably make You Su look down on her even more...< br>
"Do you blame yourself, Master?" You Su continued to ask.
It's just that the tone of the question is not like a junior asking a respected elder, but like a doctor asking a timid patient.
“Well...”
"Master's wife should indeed blame herself." You Suhu said.
He Shutong's expression froze, his red lips moved slightly, and he had a look of astonishment on his face.
She thought You Su would say some comforting words to comfort her, but she didn’t expect that the young man also felt that her sin was unforgivable?
Thinking of this, her body became lighter, as if she had lost her soul.
“The master’s wife secretly learned the Bing Xin Jin Gong, which led to the decline of Qiqing. She ran away from home for decades and even missed her mother’s funeral. Faced with the kindness of taking care of herself Before she died, her master ruthlessly broke her long-cherished wish to continue the family lineage. Not only that, she also learned personally that Venerable Yu Jing, who sacrificed his life to save her, failed to treat his only disciple. It can be said that all this is the fault of Master Xue Na Bing Xin. "
He Shutong was stunned in place when he heard this, leaning on the round white stone beside the pool. .
The bitterness in her heart was completely aroused by You Su. This supreme female fairy on the top of the mountain actually recalled the urge to cry two hundred years ago.
"But Master's wife is at fault, but it's not all her fault." You Su turned around and said.
He Shutong raised his eyes, as if grasping the last straw, looking at the young man with hope.
"Catching Zhou is just a custom, and who can guarantee that what she catches will be suitable for her? It would be too much for a one-year-old child to catch something casually and accompany her throughout her life. A bit arbitrary.”
"Although the master didn't say your name, you should be from a famous family. The master was born with the expectations of her parents. I think the master once worked very hard to match their expectations, so she didn't hesitate to learn Najinjing for this purpose. The Bing Xin Gong, which is very fast but has huge side effects, is just so that my mother can be more proud when talking about herself."
He Shutong slowly sat up again. She had omitted many details from her previous story, but she did not expect it. You Su's guess was so accurate. It was as if the young man was the only one who understood her in this vast world.
“But how can a child grow up exactly as his parents envisioned? That’s not a child, it’s just a piece of exquisite porcelain made by the parents. I think this is also the reason why the master’s wife gave up books and picked up swords. It's a sharp weapon, and the master's wife also hopes to have a sword that can break the shackles that her mother has forced on her."
You Su said softly, hiding the sympathy in his tone.
“So I think you don’t have to regret it. As a teenager, it’s understandable for you to choose what you like. After all, no one knows what will happen in the future. Even if you insist on studying literature, you may not live better than you do now. Better.”
Looking back at He Shutong’s unbearable memories over the past two hundred years, in fact, the biggest problem stems from his original family. She shouldn't blame herself so much and put all the responsibility on her own shoulders.
He Shutong remained silent for a long time, never expecting that one day he would be enlightened by a boy nearly two hundred years younger than himself.
"That's right, even if I had to start all over again, I would still choose to learn the sword."
He Shutong's tone was firm, the sword's heart was clear, and he felt that his integration with the lotus root heart was deeper. Some. She shouldn't blame the swordsmanship that has been with her for hundreds of years.
"Although the master's wife passed away with some regrets, it was the master's wife who allowed the junior sister to come in and become the successor of the Yangjian; the master's wife personally ended the pain of the Venerable Yujing, but she also guarded the place as the master of the Thirteenth Peak. Xuanxiao Sect has been with us for a hundred years; and Senior Sister, she has no complaints about Senior Wife. Senior Wife still has plenty of opportunities to perfect the master-disciple relationship. In this case, isn’t it a matter of bitterness first and sweetness later? Turn self-blame into strength and compensate those people and things you think are important.”
You Su had never spoken so many words to his wife at once, and he unconsciously said more. However, He Shutong didn't pay attention at all. Instead, he fell into deep thought because of You Su's words.
For a long time, she has been in a kind of self-consuming pain, thinking that everything was a tragedy caused by her.
But in fact, as You Su said, instead of worrying about whose fault it is, it is better to use practical actions to make up for it.
She did indeed do this, but there was one thing that could not make up for it -
Her mother.
She loved her very much when she was a child, but resented her when she grew up. Later, she lost her temper and wanted to see her, but found that we would never see her again, and she was left feeling sad.
"In this world, there will eventually be things that cannot be repaired..."
He Shutong said sadly to himself.
You Su seemed to have guessed what the woman was thinking, so he asked: "Has the master's wife never returned home again?"
"Hmm..."
You Su thought about it, how could someone like the master's wife go to her after hearing such words before her mother's funeral.
She must have felt that just as those women who like to gossip said, her mother had not been able to forgive her for leaving without saying goodbye since her death, and the rest of her family members were probably the same.
Because of this, she was even more embarrassed to go home. How could she, a sinner, dare to face the people she had been closest to?
You Su secretly smiled bitterly. On the surface, the master's wife looked like a frosty and cold swordsman, but in fact, she was just a disguise for timidity and low self-esteem.
"Then are they still alive?"
He Shutong paused for a while, then nodded lightly.
“They are also monks.”
It seems that although Master’s wife dare not go home, she actually cares about her family secretly...
“Master’s wife has cultivated Bing Xin. If you go to the house unconsciously, how can your mother still not understand you? No matter what your feelings are, the best way to solve them is to talk them out face to face.”
How could He Shutong not know this truth? She stretched out her slender hand, picked up a handful of water, and then sprinkled it on the surface of the pool. She said softly with her eyebrows:
"A lot of things are not spoken out, but they are accumulated in my heart. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a good time. I’ve gained a lot of ideas after talking to you, thank you.”
You Su was a little flattered. He could see that the mistress was indeed relieved, but the family’s frustration was still not resolved. The mistress would not have done that helpless act of holding water just now.
Master Niang Bing Xin has been trapped in this lotus pond since she was dissolved. Even if she wanted to see her family, she has been unable to do anything.
You Su suddenly felt a sense of responsibility.
I don’t know how long the process of refining the life object will take. If you have such worries, how can the master’s wife concentrate on refining it?
So he sat up straight in the water and said:
"I am also very happy to be able to chat with my wife. Master...can I ask another question?"
"Just ask whatever you want, don't be formal with me." He Shutong looked around, his eyes as gentle as water.
"Master Wife...can you tell me your name?"
My name?
He Shutong was slightly stunned. The young man's solemnity puzzled her.
Through the mist, her eyes reflected You Su's face.
The young man had a firm face and was looking at her sincerely.
She also didn’t know why, her real name, which she had not revealed to anyone in the past two hundred years, was like a treasure box that she opened on her own when she met a wise master, flowing out naturally from her lips:
"My name is He Shutong."
......
Shutong, where the moon is missing and the trees are hanging, the name of the master's wife is really nice.
You Su thought.
Looking at the rolling clouds on the top of the mountain, You Su kept thinking about the name of his master's wife in his mind.
As he thought about it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a whimsical arc.
Ji Lingruo quietly hid behind a large stone and looked suspiciously at this senior brother who seemed to be looking a little weird since he went to Liansheng Pond yesterday.
What is wrong with this person?
The girl tiptoed behind the young man, wanting to hear Yusu's low murmur more clearly.
"He Shutong...He Shutong..."
Who is He Shutong? !
"Ahem!"
Ji Lingruo deliberately coughed loudly twice, put her hands on her hips and asked angrily: "Tell me! Who is He Shutong!"
You Su He was suddenly startled, covering his heart with a lingering fear.
"Junior sister, why are you so rash?"
"Am I reckless? In the past, you could detect me within three meters of you. Today, I have been standing behind you for a long time and you have not noticed it. Tell me! Who is this woman!"
Ji Lingruo's pretty eyes Staring, he asked aggressively.
“Can’t it be a man?” You Su Zhuangruo was helpless.
"Do you believe that you would be so obsessed with a man's name?"
Ji Lingruo is not so easily fooled when it comes to catching an adulterer.
"If you don't say who it is, I will be angry!" the girl threatened.
Mr. You Su couldn’t admit that he was obsessed with thinking about Junior Sister’s name. Suddenly he had an idea and said:
“Junior Sister, you still remember that when we were in Izumo City, I had Do you hope to live a life together in Henggao Mountain? Will we continue to write books and make a lot of money to buy a house in Henggao City?"
When Ji Lingruo heard this, a soft light appeared in his eyes, as if he was reminiscing. It was a time when I was full of longing for the future.
"Remember, I thought you had forgotten..."
"How could I forget, senior brother? Aren't I just thinking about that new story? He Shutong is the name of the heroine in this new story. I'm still thinking about her plot."
"Really? !”
Ji Lingruo’s beautiful eyes fluttered, “So you have new inspiration?”
Seeing how convinced the junior sister was, You Su hesitated for a moment about what to say. To be honest, we should continue to lie.
Feeling the girl's hopeful state, he couldn't help but hesitate.
How about going with the flow...name the heroine after the teacher's wife and write a book?
In this way, it is not deceiving the junior sister, and the agreement with the junior sister can be fulfilled.
"Yes, the inspiration suddenly came to me last night, so I have been working hard to come up with ideas."
"Okay!"
Ji Lingruo cheered, You Su wrote She had torn through those few books, and felt that the words circulating on the market were not as good as what her senior brother said.
"But you should pay more attention to the He surname. He is one of the three major immortal families in Henggao City." Ji Lingruo reminded.
You Su Jian raised his eyebrows and asked:
"Junior sister, are there many people with the surname He in Central Continent?"
"How would I know, but the most famous one is Heng The He family in Gaocheng."
You Su nodded slightly and secretly made a note to relieve his mistress.
"By the way, senior brother! What's the name of the book this time?" Ji Lingruo asked eagerly, pulling on the corner of You Su's clothes.
You Su actually has no inspiration and doesn’t know how to deal with it.
At this time, there was a big eagle chirping on the side of the mountain. Yousu immediately stretched out his index finger and said:
"It's called... The Condor Heroes!"
