Yu Ci spent some time reading the letter, which was only a few hundred words long.
Mrs.
The beginning of the letter was like a misty wave of smoke, tracing back to the past, which also made Yu Ci startled: "In the past, Yan Niang traveled to the West, passed through Central and South China, and commented on the scholars. She sent a message saying, 'The young man surnamed Yu has an aptitude for drawing talismans, and he can see Xiangbian. "Card", among the twelve characters, it is the first among Buxu."
Even though Yu Ci knew that this was a word of praise, he couldn't help but feel refreshed and his thoughts shifted:
Smoke girl? Could this be...Murong Qingyan? At that time, Murong Qingyan indeed said that she wanted to travel to the Buddhist Kingdom in the West, and since she was Mrs.
At this time, his attitude towards faith had undergone subtle changes.
Next, Mrs. Xia's writing followed the trend and connected with the incident of "Xuanhuang Killing Sword" that year, followed by words of praise, the so-called "Kui Xiang has a heart, and the brilliance of the flowers cannot be seen", and "the stars have changed and the stars have suddenly appeared." "" and other sentences, the meaning of seeking talents comes out frankly, and compared with the beginning, it is more plain and credible.
But in the letter, Mrs. Xia did not openly solicit after all. She only invited Yu Ci to participate in the "Bixiao Chat" soon, and she still maintained a certain polite distance.
Generally speaking, there is not much substantive content in the letter. At most, it is an invitation. But for such a quick response and only sending an invitation, is it too much to make a mountain out of a molehill?
While he was pondering, he saw the maid hurried over and said, "Master, please come over, Mr. Yu."
You came back so quickly. Have you already discussed the results with Elder Qing?
Yu Ci walked back leisurely and saw that in the pavilion where she had been chatting with Xuezhi and Baiyi making tea, Su Shuanghe was sitting with a golden sword, and Xuezhi was serving fragrant tea.
Seeing Yu Ci coming over, Su Shuanghe laughed: "I asked Xuezhi to entertain the guests, why do I let the guests go and relax on their own? Could it be that their women's gossip is depressing? They should be punished... why don't they give it to Yu Brother, please give me some tea to excuse me."
Now that he calls Yu Ci, he is very close to her. Although the words were spoken with a smile, Xuezhi did not dare to take it as a joke. He responded softly, stepped forward, served tea with bare hands, and apologized in his mouth.
Yu Ci asked, "What's the crime?" He took the tea and took a sip.
Su Shuanghe smiled and said: "My brother is really kind-hearted. If you ask me, no matter how charming a woman is in this world, she can be said to be 'fresh and refined' when she is alone; when two women are together, she is 'like no one else is watching'. ';If there are more than three people, it is called 'intrigue', no matter what kind of person they are, it is difficult to escape from this, it is really a disgrace..."
This seems to be a joke in a happy setting, but now, neither of the two girls in the pavilion has such self-awareness, they just remain silent in response. Yu Ci, on the other hand, heard something in his words, thought of the letter he had put away, and responded with a smile:
"According to the words of the Crane Witch, there should be no maidservants on this island..."
“How can the chickens and birds reach when they fly like cranes?”
Su Shuanghe said happily: "That's why I only have one outhouse on this island, just to prevent her mind from being stained by the strange things in the world. Fortunately, I only accepted this one good disciple. If I bring another one, I won’t invite you here anyway.”
As he said this, he laughed, but no one else found it funny.
Su Shuanghe was not worried, and then he let out a long sigh: "It's a shame that among the weird things in this world, even a phoenix cannot escape. Brother, you know who I'm talking about!"
With such a clear and direct approach, Yu Ci would not pretend to be confused: "Could it be that he belongs to your sect..."
He was half-sentence, but the meaning was clear. Su Shuanghe nodded slightly: "It's the Xia family."
While pronouncing words, his eyes moved to the snowy branches, but his expression was vague and unfocused.
"If we say that Mrs. Xia is really a rare and strange woman in the world, she is not ordinary. When she married from Qianshan Sect, I was happy to see her success. Who would have thought that just because she recognized a profession? Dear, she made a few friends, and several shady people gathered together and influenced each other. In the end, her mood was stained and her ambitions grew. Over the years, she made friends and respected herself, but the city lord has been in seclusion, so she pretended. The power of the city lord has turned the good Feihun City into a mess, which is pitiful and deplorable!"
It’s amazing that you put it so plainly!
However, Yu Ci must admit that people's hearts are mysterious and fragile. Before they actually meet each other, the more directly they accuse them, the more preconceived impressions they can give people. Even if they want to change it later, it will take many years. Just work hard.
And with Mrs. Xia's status, how could she possibly get along with him "for many years" and erase that negative impression?
When Su Shuanghe said this, he still felt it was not enough and continued to criticize him: "Xia's demeanor and demeanor are rare in the world, but now she is just using it as capital to create 'Bi Xiao Qing Tan' and spread it all over the world. Accumulating reputation. In today’s world, everyone knows about ‘Mrs. Xia’, but how can they know about Youcan?”
Yu Ci also changed his mind and remembered that Youcan was Mrs. Xia’s husband, the Lord of Feihun City, and couldn’t help but secretly smile:
If you weren’t right in front of me, when I mentioned Feihun City, I don’t know how many thoughts I would have had before I thought of you!
Yu Ci was thinking this way, but it was because of Su Shuanghe's words "Bi Xiao Qing Tan" that he thought of Mrs. Xia's letter. The letter described the scene not long after, and said, "Exalted Taoist warriors, fighting talismans to divide the clouds, betting on all the heavens, and making fun of it." The literal meaning of "betting on all the heavens" seems to be to use something as a lottery, "all the heavens" "The words have too many explanations and are difficult to confirm.
He also knew that the news about Taoist Shuangmu's landing on the island to deliver a message could not be hidden from anyone, so he had no intention of hiding it here. He nodded and said: "I have been famous for 'Bixiao Qingtan' for a long time, and I just accepted it. I received the invitation letter, and I don’t want to have such things behind me..."
"Ha, Mrs. Xia also knows that I am very special! This is worthy of her name of 'smart'. Go, go, why don't you go? Speaking of which, this 'just talk' might have something to do with me. ”
"Oh?"
"You must know that over the past ten years or so during the Great Tribulation, the environment of the real world has changed, and the void in Donghua Mountain has become distorted, so that many newly connected 'tunnels' have appeared in the world, leading to different void worlds. North There are seven places in the Earth's Three Lakes. Nowadays, the real world is becoming increasingly difficult to stay in, and there are also many risks outside the territory. The major sects have been discussing how to allocate and develop these void worlds..."
"What do those big sect affairs have to do with me?"
Su Shuanghe laughed: "If I hadn't mentioned it today, I would have forgotten it. It is said that these seven void worlds are divided into grades. There is one for the top grade, two for the middle grade, and four for the bottom grade. And among the four 'low grade' worlds Among them, there is one that has been developed. Although the grade is low, the practicality is extremely strong... It is said to be a legacy of the Shangqing Sect. It was originally lost in the void, but now it has reappeared!"
