Lower your eyebrows



Lower your eyebrows

Li Bai and Zhou Xiaosu sat back to back on the top of Cangfeng Mountain, watching the sunset.

In fact, she seldom went to the top of the mountain in recent years.

Firstly, her cultivation was too low, and if she was not careful, the sword energy on the top of the mountain would hurt her.

Secondly.

No one was with her.

However, in the past one or two years when my senior sister often left Yunting, she would come up to look at the sea of ​​clouds when she was bored.

The best place to view the sea of ​​clouds in Yunting is naturally the Yunshang Pavilion. The top floor of the main building is completely empty, and any disciple of Yunting can go up to enjoy the clouds and the sea. The scenery there is magnificent, which is a unique feature of Yunting.

Li Bai, however, prefers Cangfeng Mountain, even though there are countless sword energies raging there.

But only here can her heart be at peace.

Many people in Cang Xuan were very nice to her. They felt like they were old friends at first sight and were warm and friendly. Some even gave her family heirlooms when they met for the first time.

But she always has a gap with this world.

Those good intentions are not sincere.

The girl looked at the layers of white clouds above the pavilion and suddenly asked, "Zhou Xiaosu, if I jump down, will you catch me?"

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl stood in the wind, graceful and elegant. Behind her were vast expanses of surging white. Zhou Xiaosu felt that she looked like a goddess who had descended to earth.

In fact, Li Bai rarely calls him by his full name. She usually just calls him Brother Xiaosu sweetly.

Zhou Xiaosu didn't understand why, but he subconsciously replied, "Then I'll definitely dance with you."

His tone was so casual, even a matter as important as life and death could be spoken of so naturally. Li Bai was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to respond.

Zhou Xiaosu scratched his head and said, "The people I love most in this world are my master and you. My master is so capable, I don't need to worry about him, so of course I'll accompany you."

This is what a young man's secret and passionate love is like. He doesn't even understand what life and death are, but he can speak shamelessly and look down on life and death.

If she were older, Li Bai might have scoffed at her sweet talk.

But she is only fifteen or sixteen years old now and still dreams.

She was only fifteen or sixteen years old.

No matter how mature and thoughtful she is, to this world, she is just an ignorant child.

Her knowledge is so shallow. There are many things in this world that she does not understand and many truths that she does not comprehend.

She has not seen many magnificent sights and has not had time to experience more great events.

She was created by the fairy world, but those stagnant fairies could not teach her anything.

She walks alone in this lonely world and has received so much hypocrisy that even a little bit of sincerity is enough to flatter her.

So Li Bai smiled and responded, "Then it's a deal, you have to dance with me."

No way.

She couldn't bear to do that.

——

The coast of the South China Sea.

Shen Siyan looked at the person in front of him again and again, his eyes wandering over and over again on his face and the ground.

"It turns out ghosts really don't have shadows."

Ji Sheng: ...

He had never met Shen Siyan, but he often heard Chang Xia and Xie Fengxue mention him.

Most of the time, when neither of them wanted to do something, they would look at each other and decide in unison to let Shen Siyan go.

Speaking of which, he has actually had a spiritual connection with the person in front of him for a long time. As someone who was also deceived by those two senior brothers and sisters since childhood, Ji Sheng always felt that he and Shen Siyan must have common topics.

Ji Sheng said in a calm voice, "Legend has it that there was one before, but it was later eaten by the monster in Chi Zhouhai."

Shen Siyan: ...

“Is this true or false?”

Ji Sheng said seriously, "Brother, you don't know that all things are divided into yin and yang, and demons are on the yin side. Chi Zhouhai's own essence is insufficient, so he can only plunder Cang Xuan's yin side to supplement himself. The Ghost Dao is the softest persimmon. Twelve hundred years ago, in the battle between the Demon Emperor and the Sword Immortal, although the Demon Emperor died, he did not gain nothing. Before he died, he tore a law from the Ghost Dao, and the Ghost Clan has disappeared since then."

Shen Siyan: ...

If I wasn't the next Demon King, I would have believed your nonsense.

As a son, he doesn't even know how his father died.

But he still had to compliment her for the sake of appearance. He clasped his hands and bowed, "I see. I appreciate your advice."

Ji Sheng: ...

How could he believe everything?

A demon and a ghost exchanged greetings, each with their own thoughts. Although neither of them was human, they were both shrewd and spoke a lot of polite words. Zhaoming came in and added tea three times, but neither Shen Siyan nor Ji Sheng could get what they wanted from the other.

Chen Siyan blew on the tea, thinking with some hopelessness, if he couldn't get the answer, then he couldn't get the answer. Whether Changxia lived or died had little to do with him, the Sea Monster King Chi Zhou.

But when he met Ji Sheng's eyes, he put on a kind smile and said, "Speaking of which, the current Human Emperor has some connection with my Yun Ting."

Ji Sheng's hand holding the teacup paused and he sat up straight.

"Oh, I'd like to hear more about it."

Shen Siyan's eyes flickered slightly.

Sure enough, the last Human Emperor seemed to be more interested in the new Human Emperor.

——

The long summer is busy from early spring to late autumn.

She needs to suppress the monsters and demons in Morning Star Mountain, maintain the sword formation of the Four Realms, and personally visit some key parts of the Mangshan formation. Although the big monsters in Chi Zhouhai have been much more well-behaved recently, they still need to be punished. She also needs to preside over the Four Realms Council. As for Li Bai's schoolwork, since her master and senior brothers are not here, she is the only senior sister to arrange it.

Fortunately, Tinglan is on the right track, and Qian Xiangyi has also taken some time off to return to Yunting to help her take care of some mundane matters.

Although she and Qian Xiangyi don't get along, she still recognizes the leader's ability.

She didn't know what Shen Siyan was busy with recently, so she could only take advantage of his master to exploit him.

But no matter how busy she is outside, she lives a fairy-like life once she returns to Cangfeng Mountain.

Li Bai peeled the pear, cut it into pieces with a knife and handed it to Changxia on the plate.

"The pears in my yard are bearing fruit this year. I've specially kept the biggest ones and am waiting for Senior Sister to come back!"

The fluttering pear blossoms that Xie Fengxue maintained with the formation seemed to have suddenly had four seasons the year he left. Last year, they only produced a few astringent fruits, but this year they have become lush and leafy.

The order of the world and the passage of time can be intervened temporarily by human power, but they cannot intervene forever.

Chang Xia said: "You shouldn't wait for me to come back, you should call me back."

She squinted her eyes, and this time, she did not block the glaring sunlight with her hands. She looked through the sunlight and looked directly into those ancient eyes.

Doing so naturally came at a price. Like all stern patriarchs, their authority could not be challenged. Chang Xia's soul felt as if it had been burned by a raging fire, but she still spoke to Li Bai in the gentlest voice, "I am your senior sister. No matter when you call me, I will come."

Li Bai pretended to be dumbfounded and smiled: "Senior Sister is busy enough."

Changxia said nothing more.

Her junior sister was always so considerate and caring that even if she was dying, she would just quietly find a piece of land to bury herself.

Don't bother others.

Then she thought again, this seemed to be the tradition of their Cangfeng Mountain lineage, and they had not set a good example since Bie Jingchun.

Her silent resistance to the laws of nature continued, and the raging fire was still burning in her soul. Perhaps because it had been burning for so long, she actually felt that the fire was somewhat warm.

Changxia couldn't help but stretch out a hand, as if to grab something.

"Senior Sister——"

Li Bai's call woke her up.

"What are you catching?"

Chang Xia whispered, "I am ungrateful and will never repent."

In her vision, the ancient eyes were still hanging high in the sky. She remembered that when she was a guest at Xiaoling Mountain in her youth, the Zen master took her to read Buddhist scriptures to cultivate her character and told her about the Bodhisattva's lowered eyebrows.

Compassion and mercy are all in those eyes.

When she was young, she asked the Zen master, what does the Bodhisattva see when he lowers his eyes?

The Zen master answered her that it was to save all sentient beings.

Chang Xia said at that time: "This is not right. Bodhisattvas save all living beings, but they stand on high ground."

She is looking down upon ordinary people from a high position, so she naturally lowers her brows. This is not compassion, but arrogance.

At that time, the Zen master smiled and said to her, "Changxia, you have already attained the samadhi."

so--

You watch all living beings struggle and everything rise and fall in the sky, and you think this is favoritism, but favoritism itself is a kind of condescending scrutiny and arrogance.

Anyone who wants this kind of preference can have it.

Anyway, she doesn't want it.

The raging fire in her soul suddenly exploded in an instant. Changxia closed her eyes, and suddenly opened them the next moment. Her soul turned into an invisible hand and suddenly grasped the fire. The red flame burned in her sea of ​​consciousness, constantly burning her soul, and then her soul kept regenerating in the sea of ​​consciousness.

As the ancients said, when a man gets angry, he bleeds for five steps.

Changxia waved her hand, and the teleportation formation unfolded under Li Bai's feet. The next moment, she arrived at her own pear blossom courtyard.

"Don't call me for dinner tonight."

Li Bai looked blankly in the direction of the top of Zangfeng Mountain.

“Senior Sister…”

But the next moment, her confusion turned into horror.

Above the sky, there are a pair of old and ancient eyes.

She covered her mouth, but saw that the eyes seemed to look in her direction and then blinked.

She was burned by His gaze for a moment, and when she opened her eyes again, those eyes suddenly disappeared.

Li Bai covered his chest with his hands, his heart beating "boom boom" inside. Everything around him was calm, and only this beating heart was the proof of the existence of those eyes just now.

The ruthless and desireless Heaven suddenly appeared for a moment, and the news was like a drop of water falling into boiling oil.

All four realms trembled at this moment.

When all those who saw those eyes were about to rush to Yunting, their kites suddenly vibrated.

The above is a four-character message sent by Changxia.

"Nothing tonight."

——

Western border, Cuiwei City.

Zhu You poured a cup of fresh tea for the new guest and said with a smile, "A few years ago, I was robbed here and all my wine was drunk. The new wine is not yet brewed, so I have to inconvenience you with a few cups of coarse tea to quench your thirst."

The young man opposite him had a handsome face that looked romantic and dissolute. He was wearing a long scarlet robe, which only barely covered his body, leaving a large area of ​​his chest exposed, as if he had just been pulled out of a gentle place.

Lian Cheng: ...

He didn't know what to say. He was inexplicably pulled over by his senior brother, and he didn't even have time to put on his clothes.

But you still can't show any fear on your face.

He picked up a strand of his black hair that was scattered on his chest and played with it in his palm.

He smiled nonchalantly, "Senior, you're joking. You taught my master and uncle how to refine weapons back then, so you were considered a half-mentor. How can I be considered a distinguished guest?"

Lian Cheng’s uncle is naturally the former sword master of Sanchi Dao, Pei Miaoyi.

Zhu You said: "A guest coming from the Three-foot Road is naturally invaluable to me."

He smiled and said, "Those old stubborn guys up there finally figured it out."

Lian Cheng: ...

I want to die! I want to die!

Do you want to answer?

What kind of agreement had they reached with this old man? It sounded like the entire sect would be at risk if they weren't careful. And he had no idea!

How can this play continue?
