Chapter 1642 The wind rises
On the same night, there are different people, in different stars, looking up at different bright moons.
The night of Jiyu Star is very long, and thirteen satellites surround it, making the night here the most magnificent and charming. Many tourists come here because of the wonder of the "Thirteen Nights Moon" and make a lifelong promise to each other under the moonlight.
The moon was bright and bright, and the waves lapped endlessly at the coast, covering the fine white sand.
A pretty girl sat on a raised rock, her dark blue dress blending in with the night, staring at the other side of the sea.
"Yu'er, what are you thinking about?"
A voice sounded softly from behind her.
Lan Xinyu didn't look back and said softly: "I'm just a little regretful."
"Regret that you didn't go to the North to attend the Western Alliance Lord's wedding ceremony?"
The person who came was none other than Lan Xinyu's master. Her appearance was very ordinary, but her aloof temperament added a different kind of detachment, especially her eyes, which were calm and clear, as if they could wash away all distracting thoughts.
She stood barefoot on the beach, as if a fairy came in the moonlight and could take advantage of the wind and leave at any time.
"A little bit."
Lan Xinyu pursed her lips: "Although I know that I may feel a little sad after going, but... the sect leader finally managed to be with the person he likes, and I am very happy for him... In short, I don't know what to say.
…”
"This is love in the world."
Master sat next to Lan Xinyu, like a child, immersing his feet in the soft sand and drawing random patterns.
"Some people want to destroy what they can't get, and some people choose to give up when they can't get it. And the people in between are actually the vast majority of people in this world who can't bear to part with it.
I can’t let it go either.” Master said calmly.
Lan Xinyu said with shame: "So I am just a commoner after all."
"No, you're not."
The master shook his head and said in a soft voice: "You know what you want, and you can devote everything to it. No matter how many roadblocks there are, they will not disturb you and make you hesitate. Such a firm original intention is the key to success.
The most valuable quality.”
She stroked a strand of Lan Xinyu's hair and continued: "The most difficult thing for people to do is to look at themselves. Many times, we can easily characterize other people's characters, but what kind of person are we?
, but it is like a fog that cannot be seen clearly.”
"Ever since we were young, people have been labeling us with various labels: genius, waste, cheerful, quiet, good boy, bad boy..."
"But are everything really so absolute? Many times, we may be very cold in the eyes of outsiders, but we are talkative in front of acquaintances, we are very well-behaved in front of our elders, but we play crazily with our friends..."
"Many people will be puzzled to find that they seem to be a contradictory body that is both extroverted and introverted, cold and kind, mature and naive, fragile and strong, as if they have no stable personality."
"Master, you are actually talking about me..." Lan Xinyu whispered awkwardly.
"It's you, it's me, and it's also many, many people in this world."
The master picked up a handful of fine sand and stared at it slowly dripping from his fingers: "Actually, these words are just people's definitions. What kind of person you are, no amount of labels can accurately describe it, because for the real
My thinking and pursuit are approaching the avenue itself."
Lan Xinyu nodded in understanding.
"Tao is one and also ten thousand, and as part of ten thousand, we return to that one, which is the process of finding our true self." Master added.
"The reason why there are no bottlenecks in the ethereal sea is because there are no distracting thoughts. On this road of returning to oneness, other roads are cut off."
"Perhaps the road you choose is not a broad road, it may be full of difficulties and obstacles, but as long as you stick to your heart and keep going unswervingly, you will eventually reach your destination."
"When you find your true self, you stand at the pinnacle of the true way. When you transcend your true self, you step into the threshold of leaving the way."
"When others stand at the fork in the road and hesitate, when they regret the path they have taken before, you keep walking and moving forward. This is why you can surpass them."
"Master... I'm not as... powerful as you say, right?" Lan Xinyu was a little embarrassed.
"Whether it's powerful or not depends on how you think about it."
The master smiled: "Back to the original topic, you know that you like him and are willing to do something for him. This is a very clear goal."
"Yu'er, there is nothing to be ashamed of if you like someone. Whether it is sourness or joy, they all form part of you and are part of your true self. Approaching it and facing it squarely is a kind of practice."
"I understand." Lan Xinyu breathed out slowly, seemingly untying the long-standing knot in her heart.
She turned to look at Master, smiled brightly and said: "Master, let me deal with the two flies first. They seem to have been hiding nearby and have been listening for a long time."
"Okay." Master responded calmly, not seeming to be surprised.
I saw the waves rolling up all over the sky, like a big hand covering the sky and the moon, and falling heavily towards the void like swatting flies.
After two groans, the two "flies" fell down on the beach covered in seawater. They tried to get up but were dizzy and unable to control their bodies at all.
"It turns out to be Elder Chu and Elder Li."
Lan Xinyu walked calmly in front of the two of them. The soul world had already spread, suppressing all resistance from the two of them.
"This is strange. The palace master wanted you two to perform some tasks before, but didn't the two elders refuse on the grounds of seclusion? Why are you now free to come to Jiyuxing to monitor me?"
Although Lan Xinyu was smiling, the coldness in her eyes was getting stronger and stronger.
"Not to mention that only the palace master and a very few people know my whereabouts, but the inconsistent actions of the two of you alone are enough to prove... that the Dao Ling Clan has taken action, right?"
Her expression and tone at this time were very similar to someone, but she didn't notice it herself.
Elder Li barely regained some consciousness from his dizziness, raised his head with difficulty and said: "Lan Xinyu, since you have guessed it, on behalf of Master Xunling Guard, I will give you one last chance..."
"No need."
Lan Xinyu seemed to have noticed something. She raised her sleeves and robe, and a cold light flashed away, instantly slicing the throats of the two elders.
"Uh...well..."
The two struggled unwillingly, desperately trying to get some oxygen. However, as the blood dyed the white sand red and was wiped away by the sea water, they soon stopped breathing.
As pure Eastern Soul Masters, their own fragility is their greatest weakness, so the moment it is exposed, it basically spells their death.
Lan Xinyu retracted the dagger hidden in her sleeve, and when she turned around, her expression was full of solemnity.
"Master, can I still contact the palace master?" Lan Xinyu asked.
"The communication talisman has failed, so we have to prepare for the worst." The master said.
"It's definitely not possible to go back to Wusheng Palace directly. I had discussed with the Palace Master earlier that when we took thousands of our elites to hide in Jiyu Star, he should have anticipated today's situation."
Lan Xinyu looked back at the two corpses, and her soul power rolled up the waves and dragged them into the depths of the sea, leaving no trace.
"We can't stay in Ji Yuxing any longer. Elder Li wanted to send out a signal just now. Although I blocked it in advance, once the people of the Dao Ling Tribe notice that things have changed, they will soon send experts over. Then there will be trouble.
Already."
"The question now is...how did the news leak out? Was there a traitor, or was someone accidentally in the hands of the Daoling clan and was searched for memory fragments..."
In an instant, countless thoughts passed through her heart one by one, but there was not much time for her to think.
"Let's do this, master, let's act separately. The palace master said that there is an absolutely trustworthy elder in the Shenghe branch. You should contact him first and try to find out the palace master's movements. I will lead my fellow disciples to evacuate from the extreme.
Yuxing, we will meet you later depending on the situation." Lan Xinyu said.
"Yu'er, please take care of yourself." The master was silent for a few seconds and sighed softly.
"I will."
Lan Xinyu stood on the rocks, watching her master's back disappear at the end of the beach, her heart filled with the heaviness of the impending storm.
She took out a diamond-shaped jade talisman, hesitated for a moment, and finally poured her soul power into it.
"'Faceless Ghost'? I have something very important and I need to contact your sect leader."
Her voice was as calm as ice and snow.
