How many times rose flowers

Chapter 5 Yuxu Jun

Outside the attic, it was windy and rainy, and the wind blew the flowers down, leaving a place of light red.The sound of rain was boiling, and not far away, several juniors and juniors were running in the rain, looking for shelter from the rain.

"Thank you." Under the eaves, Jixue said.

"It's a little effort, nothing to worry about." The boy who was pulling her let go of his hand and said.

"I'm Jixue, may I ask the name of your step?" Jixue said.

"Gantang. My name," the boy said.The young man has clear facial features, a tall and tall figure, and only wears a white robe, exuding a cold and detached aura.

"Gantang, are you also a disciple of Xiuyuanmen?" Jixue asked.The young man looks very good, and it stands to reason that he would never forget it, but Jixue doesn't remember when there was such a person in Xiuyuanmen.

"No. I'm a disciple of Yan Gui Sect. Today I came to visit your sect with my teacher. The teacher and the head of the sect are discussing matters. I just walk around at will, not wanting to get lost." Gan Tang explained.

"So you pulled me here, not to avoid the rain, but to ask for directions?" Jixue sorted out the cause and effect of the matter, and looked at the boy in front of him in disbelief.Gan Tang nodded.

"It's raining heavily at the moment, why not..." Before Gan Tang finished speaking, Ji Xue dragged him out.

Jixue pinched a spell, and a barrier was formed around the two of them, isolating the raindrops of all sizes from the sky.The two were silent all the way.

Jingluan Peak, the meeting hall.

When the two arrived, Chi Mu was standing outside the meeting hall, walking back and forth anxiously.Seeing Jixue, he seemed to see a great savior, grabbed Jixue's sleeve, and said nothing to let her leave.

"Senior sister, you, you, you..." Chi Mu saw the barrier around Jixue, and was speechless for a moment.

"What's wrong with me?" Ji Xue dragged Gan Tang to the eaves and removed the barrier.

"Senior sister, this barrier can prevent bullets and bullets, and it consumes a lot of spiritual power. Senior sister uses it to block the rain?" Chi Mu whispered.

"You're right, why don't you come and give me an umbrella?" Jixue said helplessly.

Just as he was speaking, the door of the meeting hall opened.The head of Liumen and the head of Yanguimen came out of the meeting hall.

"Senior Sister, the head of the sect has been looking for you." Chi Mu reminded in a low voice.

"Look for me..." Before Jixue could react, the head sternly asked her to come and talk.Jixue was taken aback for a moment, and Master Liu patted her on the shoulder.

"Jixue, this is Uncle Yu, the head of the Yangui Sect, salute to Uncle Yu." The head of the Liu family looked kind (fake) loving (laughing).

"Jixue, a disciple of Nianhua Peak, has met Master Yu." Jixue felt tens of thousands of bees flying by in his mind, "buzzing, buzzing".What's more, after this encounter, "Yu" has almost become her allergic word.

"Excuse me, excuse me. This is Gan Tang, the eldest disciple of our Yangui Sect, Gan Tang, saluting to Sect Master Liu." Sect Leader Yu glanced at Gan Tang.

Gan Tang saluted Master Liu again. The two masters came and went and were more polite. Jixue felt that the smile on her face was stiff. Now she admired Ah Jiu a little. Not keeping smiling.

The two masters finally stopped talking.Head Yu and his group are going to stay at Xiuyuanmen for a while, so Jixue will take Gantang to look for a place to live.

When Jixue looked up, what she saw was the face of Gan Tang who couldn't express any expression.This time, she and Gan Tang each held an umbrella, sent the guests to the room, and Jixue left.

Just after leaving, Chi Mu caught up with her again, looking at her with a pitiful expression: "Senior Sister, I asked Gan Tang to find you. But according to the order of the head, I..."

Well, Ji Xue thinks she was fooled by Gan Tang again.

"Why is the head looking for me?" Jixue asked.

"The head said, Senior Sister, you are extremely talented, you are a rare genius in the Xiuyuanmen, let you... um... save face." Chi Mu's voice became smaller and smaller.

Jixue thought it was ridiculous.When she first started, it was Master Liu who said she had no qualifications, which made no one willing to accept her as an apprentice, only Elder Xiang Yao took her in.Now what's going on...

"What did the master say?" Jixue asked.

"The...last sentence is... I added it." Chi Mu stammered, "But that's what the sect master meant, but he couldn't save face."

Jixue didn't want to argue with him anymore, so she threw the umbrella to him, and ran all the way back to the student dormitory by herself.

A few disciples in the same dormitory were gossiping about something in a low voice, Jixue didn't bother to listen, but the voice came to his ears without saying a word.

"I heard that a young master from Yushu Linfeng came to the gate recently, and he is also the eldest disciple of the Yangui sect. His name is Gantang, isn't it?"

"You say that in the whole world, who can be worthy of him?"

"If you ask me, only a princess is worthy of such a person."

"Princess? Are you talking about the Ninth Princess of the Ghost Clan? It is said that the Ninth Princess has a pair of lovely almond eyes, bright eyes and white teeth, and her appearance is no less inferior to that of a thousand-year-old demon fox. It is a pity that I have seen her alluring appearance. It is estimated that the people who have fallen into the [-]th floor of hell."

"How can she be compared with Gan Tang? Even if she has an alluring face, would Gan Tang be so superficial?"

Several people broke up unhappy.

Listening to their conversation, Jixue felt a faint familiarity in her heart, but she couldn't remember why.

……

Clear after rain.

Jixue was walking on the road, thinking about what Ah Jiu said before leaving. What exactly does "the real her" mean?She seems to be only about the same age as herself, so why does she know about her past life?

"boom--"

Ji Xue didn't notice for a while, and bumped into someone.

Jixue raised her head, and only then did she see the man's face clearly—the man's long hair was tied up slightly into a bun, and he was casually wearing a long robe. There was no expression on his face, but it made people feel friendly for no reason. .

The young woman was not annoyed when she was hit by Jixue, and she maintained a polite demeanor, which made Jixue feel embarrassed.

There is no other reason, this person is Jixue's master—Elder Xiang Yao.

"Jixue is rude, I hope Master will forgive me." Jixue quickly lowered her head.What kind of experience is it to be caught by the teacher while deserting?

"It's nothing. Jixue, I have something to talk to you about. Come with me." Elder Xiang Yao didn't blame Jixue for his rudeness, but just said.

The two walked all the way to the Yuegui Pavilion on Nianhua Peak.Yuegui Pavilion is the residence of Elder Xiang Yao.The spring has not yet faded, and the peach blossoms in the pavilion are in full bloom. "The peach blossoms are shining brightly." Among the branches, the peach blossoms squeezed together are like pink clouds in the sky.

"Jixue, since you returned to Xiuyuan Gate, you have been restless. But the elders made things difficult for you again?" Elder Xiang Yao asked.

"No. It was because the disciple had some quarrels with his friends when he went down the mountain." Jixue answered truthfully.

"Alas. You were only this tall when I brought you back to the sect." Elder Xiang Yao gestured with his hands, "In a blink of an eye, you have grown so big that you can be your own."

"Yes, my mother had just passed away at that time, and I was alone and helpless, but fortunately Master took me in." Jixue said with emotion.

"You can't talk about taking in, just ask for someone who is not ashamed. I remember that I had an old friend back then. She was really warm-hearted. She was the kind who would definitely help others when they were in trouble." Elder Xiang Yao was reminded of the past. "Later I asked her why, and she said, she lived that life and experienced too many storms, and she couldn't see others suffer. I thought it was ridiculous at the time. Now that I think about it, I am not deep in the world and don't understand her. There are valleys in the chest."

"How rare it is to have a clear heart in life." Elder Xiang Yao murmured.

"Master told me these things today, did something happen in Xiuyuanmen?" Jixue asked.

"No one, no other. I just saw you and thought of her." Elder Xiang Yao laughed at himself.

Sitting opposite each other in the room, Elder Xiang Yao took a sip of tea.Outside the bamboo window, fallen flowers are all over the ground, and a gust of spring breeze blows, rolling up the curtains with fragrance.

A glass of wine in the spring breeze of peaches and plums, ten years of night rain in the rivers and lakes lights ⑵.

"She must be a sweetheart, right? Where does she appear?" Inside the bamboo window, Jixue said.

"She was gone a year before I picked you up." There was an indescribable emotion in Elder Xiang Yao's eyes.

"It's the disciple who made a mistake and offended the master." Jixue hurriedly got up and said.

"It's nothing, just sit down." Elder Xiang Yao waved his hand, "I'm telling you this today, just to tell you that the world is far away, and people's hearts are unpredictable. Don't judge others by yourself and trust others."

"Isn't everyone in this world trustworthy?" Ji Xue asked, "Some people, although I can't see what she is going to do, my heart tells me that she is not a bad person. So, is she trustworthy?" ?”

"Then rely on your heart to make a decision." Elder Xiang Yao said earnestly.

Jixue fell into silence.Maybe, she knows what to do.Hastily bid farewell to Master, Jixue walked to Zangshu Pavilion.

Beside the Library Pavilion, a young man in white was leaning on the side of an ancient tree, holding a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth, looking at the sky boredly.A conversation lingered in my ears:

"Gan Tang, I want you to come down to earth this time not just to protect Fengshen." The Heavenly Emperor said while sitting on the high throne.

"The little god would like to hear the details." Standing behind the Heavenly Emperor, Gan Tang frowned.

"I want you to help me with one thing. Try to restore the memory of Jixue, a mortal, and assist her in destroying the ghost clan." The voice of the Emperor of Heaven seemed to have no emotion.

"Your Majesty, the ghost clan and our clan have lived in peace for thousands of years, why..." Gan Tang continued to speak, but the Emperor of Heaven gave him a cold look, and he swallowed the words again.

"Gan Tang complies with the decree." Thousands of words turned into a dispensable sentence, Gan Tang looked at the man on the throne in the palace, and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

God can't feel the temperature changes of the four seasons, but at this moment, Gan Tang unexpectedly felt cold, a bone-piercing cold.

"Gan Tang, Gan Tang." Suddenly, someone patted his shoulder, and Gan Tang just woke up like a dream.Throwing the dogtail grass in the grass, Gantang turned his head and apologized.

The person came wearing a green shirt, she waved her hand in front of Gan Tang's eyes to make sure that Gan Tang was fine before speaking to him.

"What happened to you just now, have you lost your temper?"

"I'm fine. Jixue, what are you doing in Zangshu Pavilion?" Gan Tang asked.

"Ah, let me look up some information. Are you waiting for someone? Then I'll leave first." Jixue thought of Gan Tang's bored look leaning on an ancient tree, and guessed that he was probably waiting for someone.

Gantang was waiting for Jixue here, seeing that Jixue was about to leave, he followed in three steps at a time.

"I'm also going to check some information, let's go together."

The two walked into the Library Pavilion.The Xiuyuanmen Book Collection Pavilion is famous all over the world, and it ranks among the top four library collection pavilions in Kyushu, thanks to the complete range of books.Here, from the anecdotes of heaven to the relics of the underworld, there are all traces to follow.Is it just its authenticity? Gan Tang glanced at it briefly and found that it was not so good.

Jixue gestured to Gantang for "silence", took out a token from his sleeve, and put it on a candlestick, a stone door suddenly appeared on the stone wall next to the candlestick.Jixue dragged Gan Tang in and walked in. Inside the stone gate was a place similar to a secret room, the light was not dim, and the space was relatively small. The bookshelves were full of books.

"The books outside are mostly for the purpose of fooling the historians. This is the master's secret room. The records in the books here are much more credible." Jixue said in a low voice.

"Then you brought me in like this?" Gan Tang also asked in a low voice.

"Do you think the head's secret room is so easy to enter? Instead of being exposed by you, it's better to bribe you in advance, so that you won't report me after you go out." Jixue said.

"So, you came here with the token of the head?" Gan Tang looked at her inexplicably.Fengshen had a style of "doing things not according to common sense" in the Jiuzhongtian in his early years, but he did not expect that this temperament has not changed at all in the mortal world...

Jixue ignored Gantang's mental journey at the moment, and just rummaged around the bookshelf for something.Gan Tang didn't know what she was looking for, so he just picked up a collection of poems and read it.

After a while, Jixue found the letter she was looking for from a pile of dusty books.Exhausted, she patted the dust off the book, found a place with good lighting, and began to read.

"When the world was first born, there were two races coexisting in the world, the human race and the ghost race. At that time, the human race and the ghost race were on good terms, and they communicated with each other, and the world was peaceful. However, the leader of the ghost race was not satisfied with the current situation and insisted on provoking war. The mainland of Kyushu was full of flames of war for a while, and the people were in dire straits."

"It is rumored that above the Nine Heavens, there is a place full of immortal energy called Penglai. Penglai bred the immortals, and the immortals couldn't bear the suffering of Kyushu, so they sent envoys from heaven to quell the disaster of the ghost race."

"Immortals descend to the earth, and the chaos is put down. Penglai is grateful to the generals of the human race for their contribution to calming the chaos, and the descendants of the human race will be allowed to become immortals in Penglai."

"As for the ghost clan, they have a lifespan of thousands of years. After the leader died, his nine daughters and nine princesses led the clan to disappear in Kyushu, and it is difficult to find him in the Three Realms. There are even rumors that the nine princesses are still alive today."

Jixue read the records about the ghost clan in one breath, and found that there were only a few words.No wonder, for a race that once provoked wars, the martyrs of the human race should hate it deeply. How could they allow the records to be passed down to future generations?Even if later generations are infested by ghosts, no one can prove that these things are related to the ghost clan that has disappeared for thousands of years.

The slips were full of irrelevant contents, and Jixue was about to put the slips back to their original place, but found a portrait of the nine ghost princesses falling out of nowhere.

The person in the painting has bright eyes and white teeth, black hair like waterfalls, and a long bright red dress.The corners of her mouth were raised slightly, as if she was smiling.Looking carefully, there seemed to be stars shining in those almond eyes.Isn't this 'Ah Jiu'?

I don't know if the painter did it on purpose, or the nine princesses just look like this?

There was a bit of sternness on that face that was very similar to Ah Jiuqi, which made Jixue a little distracted for a moment.There is a line of characters at the end of the picture scroll, the handwriting is very beautiful: the most can not be kept in the world, Zhu Yan Ci Jing Hua Ci Shu ⑶.You Yuxu Jun made it.

"Jixue, what's wrong with you?" Gan Tang pushed her, and Jixue just woke up.

Gan Tang took the picture scroll, sniffed it carefully, and found that the picture scroll smelled of forgetfulness grass.Forget worry grass is a kind of herb that can make people fall into hallucinations. Why does it appear on this picture scroll?

"Gantang, who is this Yuxu-jun?" Jixue fully developed the spirit of asking questions when he didn't understand. It is rumored that she was a female general of the human race during the ghost clan rebellion, because she had a good relationship with the nine princesses of the ghost clan, so she was suspected by the clan."

"Then what happened to her?"

"I don't know, I only heard that she broke with the nine princesses of the ghost clan for the sake of the human race, and there is no news after that."
