Qingshifang is the place with the most beautiful views of the East Island.
The torii gate with thousands of steps and winding paths is a unique sight.
The surrounding mountains are quiet and secluded, giving people a sense of ancient tranquility.
Behind the Torii entrance is a wonderland.
The quiet path is covered with clusters of flowers. It is the blooming season of crabapple flowers. The pink and white branches grow over the red courtyard wall, lazy and charming.
Inside the courtyard wall is a large circular lake with more than a thousand houses built with bamboo and wood on the water, and a high building built in the center.
There is a courtyard with flowers and forests, lamps and wind chimes hanging from the eaves, and different scenes embroidered on the opening and closing doors.
And they were all painted by Yun Shouxi himself.
The high-rise building occupies almost the entire lake surface, with only some water lilies planted in a circle around it.
A circle of crabapple flowers is planted on the courtyard wall.
This is the mirage where Yun Shouxi lives.
Lingluo followed Yun Shouxi onto the suspension bridge leading to the center, and saw the bungalows on the water below. Each one was built very elegantly and had its own courtyard. The green plants in the courtyard were placed just right, there were the sounds of startled deer on the stone altar, and the water was flowing slowly.
"Your two senior brothers have their own houses and courtyards in Mirage, and they usually stay here for a while." Yun Shouxi said as they walked, "I have also prepared a place for you, in the west courtyard."
Lingluo got off the suspension bridge and walked towards the lower west courtyard he mentioned.
Pushing open the door, a familiar scene came into view.
She had lived here for nearly four years and was deeply impressed. When she first arrived, she was happy and grateful, but when she left, she was filled with hatred and resentment.
From the flowers and plants in the yard to a small ornament on the table in the house, they were all arranged by Yun Shouxi according to "her" preferences.
On the first day Lingluo moved into the west courtyard under the Mirage, Yun Shouxi began to transform her, denying and erasing her self-existence and turning her into another person.
"The door uniform is inside, go change into it." Yun Shouxi said as he stood under the tangerine tree in the courtyard, "You will live here from now on."
In the past, Lingluo lived in the Lower West Courtyard without knowing what was said. Later, she learned that disciples also had solitary living halls. But at that time, she admired Yun Shouxi so much that she had no intention of leaving.
At this time, Lingluo teased and said in a deliberately ignorant manner: "Inner disciples also have dormitories, how can I have the nerve to live here and disturb Master."
Yun Shouxi smiled slightly, "I let you live here and I can teach you at any time. You want to live in the dormitory. Do you want to be lazy?"
Ling Luo: “…”
"I have absolutely no such idea. I will go change into my guard uniform now." She said, closed the door and walked towards the inner room.
There is a faint scent of sandalwood in the house, giving people a warm feeling.
The platinum-colored door gown was placed beside the bed. Ling Luo reached out and touched it. It felt cool and smooth, and the material was of excellent quality.
There are two symbols of mountain and water engraved on the belt to protect the disciples from some spiritual power attacks from the formations left by the founder in the water of Tianji Mountain on East Island.
When Lingluo took off her clothes, a jade bead fell from her sleeve to the ground. With a plop, it rolled along the floor and didn't stop until it hit the corner of the table.
This is a light pink jade bead, small and cute, with bright color, and is often used to amuse children. Some jade beads contain images and sounds, which are sealed inside with spiritual power.
The degree to which jade beads that contain scenery are sought after differs greatly from that without it.
Only people with extremely powerful cultivation can create jade beads that contain scenery, so this kind of jade beads are extremely rare and precious.
Lingluo walked towards the table, lowered her head and looked at the jade spirit bead at her feet in silence.
It is a jade spirit bead that records the scene, but the originally clear and bright core of the jade bead has been shattered into countless cracks.
Lingluo bent down to pick it up and hid it again.
She actually wanted to take another look at the person who was forever preserved in the jade bead, but she also knew that even one more look would only make her even more violent.
Lingluo calmed down before opening the door and going out.
Dressed in the inner sect disciple uniform, he called out in a proper manner: "Master."
When Ling Luo lowered her head, Yun Shouxi stared at her with deep eyes.
On the first day of becoming a direct disciple, Ling Luo was taken by Yun Shouxi to familiarize herself with Qingshifang, and finally returned to the upper west courtyard of Mirage, where he learned the basic mental method of inner sect practice with her.
The semicircular open-air platform on the upper west courtyard is where she is taught magic. If she wants to practice kendo, she will be taken to the sword hall.
At noon, Yu Xiu brought food boxes to the two of them.
Ling Luo felt depressed. It was really boring to start over again and learn all the theories of magic that she had already memorized.
But she had to walk it again and not let Yun Shouxi see any clues.
In the afternoon, she practiced kendo in the sword hall. Yun Shouxi first taught her how to use Yingxi. Lingluo used to be serious and quick to learn, but now she pretended to be stupid and said she couldn't do it after Yun Shouxi demonstrated it three or five times.
Yun Shouxi was very patient with her and had a good temper, and demonstrated it again.
Lingluo unfolded Yingxi and injected spiritual energy into it, but failed to resonate with it, and the fan was still a plain blood-red color.
She said frustratedly, "It seems that I am too stupid. I still can't learn it even after Master demonstrated it so many times."
Yun Shouxi smiled and said, "Don't keep saying discouraging things. I think you haven't studied hard enough."
As Lingluo persisted in pretending to be stupid, Yun Shouxi finally gave up teaching her Yingxi and turned to teaching her kendo.
Yun Shouxi handed her a saber, but he himself held the wooden sword and said, "The great way is to keep it simple. Sometimes a sword is not a sword. It is not in your hands, but in the spiritual power triggered by your every thought."
After Lingluo took the sword, she glanced at him and unconsciously thought of Yue Liangze who was practicing with a wooden sword under the moonlight.
She pretended to be curious and asked, "Master, if a person with weak spiritual power practices sword cultivation, will he have a chance to become a very powerful swordsman?"
Such innocent words are just what she should say at her age.
Yun Shouxi had no doubts, holding the sword and smiling, "If you are willing, you will have a chance. The way of heaven is fair, and you will get something in return for what you put in."
Lingluo thought that this was your way, not the way of heaven.
But it is undeniable that Yun Shouxi is indeed very strong in practicing Taoism.
"Just try your best. I want to see your limit."
Yun Shouxi put one hand behind his back and pointed the sword at her.
Ling Luo drew her sword, and the long sword made a slight sound when it came out of the sheath.
It just so happens that she also wants to try it.
"Master, I am sorry for my sin."
Ling Luo controlled the air and danced with the sword, concentrating and competing with Yun Shouxi seriously.
Yun Shouxi was calm and fought with one hand. His body was ethereal yet smooth. He easily deflected her attacks, but was slightly surprised that her strength was beyond his imagination.
When Ling Luo competed with Yun Shouxi in the past, she relied on the surging spiritual power in her body rather than her moves and sword-fighting skills.
Afterwards, Yun Shouxi commented that he was gifted with spiritual power and had a high level of comprehension, but he did not know how to use a sword.
Before entering Dongdao Tianji, she really didn't know how to use a sword.
At this time, Ling Luo's sword moves were proficient, and her spirit control and hand gestures were coordinated tacitly. Even though she was facing the three leaders of Dongdao Tianji, the powerful immortal master Sanxi Zhenjun, she showed no concerns or fear, and played stably.
The smile in Yun Shouxi's eyes became even brighter.
Such talent surprised him.
Lingluo used the techniques she learned at Tianji. The other techniques she knew were hidden, or she was not strong enough to use them now.
At least she can't beat Yun Shouxi now.
When the two swords collided for the last time, Ling Luo cut a hole in the wooden sword, but Yun Shouxi's wooden sword was already across her throat.
Ling Luo raised her eyes and smiled at him, her face full of admiration: "Disciple wins."
Yun Shouxi put away his sword and praised: "Not worse than your two brothers."
Ling Luo pretended to be happy and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Master."
It was only the first day, and they both knew the fine line between getting too close.
After the sword competition was over, Lingluo returned to the Upper West Courtyard and knelt beside the table, reciting the relevant techniques in her mind.
The sun sets behind me, and large patches of orange-red sunset light are scattered.
Yun Shouxi was sitting not far away, making a fire and brewing tea. There were also many talismans on the shore waiting for him to continue writing.
Neither the master nor the disciple spoke a word. The evening breeze blew past, carrying with it the scent of tea and ink.
After Lingluo finished writing, she put down the pen, looked at Yun Shouxi and said, "Master, I have some things in the outer gate hall and I want to get them back."
Yun Shouxi nodded when he heard this, "I'll have the outer sect send it to you."
"No need, I can go by myself." Lingluo smiled embarrassedly, "Why bother others with such a small matter? And, and I also want to tell my friends who are still outside the sect."
Yun Shouxi said, "Go ahead. If you need anything else, you can use the Jade Listener to tell your Second Senior Brother."
Lingluo lowered her head and retreated, then went up the hanging bridge and left the mirage.
She was playing with the jade ear in her hand, but hadn't yet activated it by dripping blood.
Qin Yuan had already arrived at the inner gate, so she didn't need to go to the outer gate to look for anyone, and there was nothing important left in the hall.
Lingluo just wanted to see Yueliangze.
Ask him why he didn't enter the inner door.
