Chapter 0042 Life is a mystery
Zhou Shaobai rode his horse forward, looking at Mu Ningzhi's snow-white neck in front of him, and thought to himself: Zhou Shaobai, Zhou Shaobai, you were abrupt and beautiful last night, and you haven't apologized yet. It can be said that it was because two senior brothers were inconvenient to speak here, and now only two of them are left here, why don't you dare to speak?
After thinking for a long time, the terrain was getting higher and the two of them rode their horses to a hill.
Zhou Shaobai mustered up his courage and was about to speak, but Mu Ningzhi spoke first. She raised the whip and pointed to the side and asked, "What are they doing?"
Just as he was about to blurt out, he had to swallow his words. Zhou Shaobai followed Mu Ningzhi's instructions and couldn't help but smile and said, "That's the farmer planting rice seedlings. Have you never seen it?"
"Is this rice transplanting?" Mu Ningzhi put on a pergola in his hand and saw that under the scorching sun, in the farmland outside the village in the distance, the farmers were bent over and working very hard. They couldn't help but sigh, "The weather is as hot as a sea of fire. Even so, they still have to work hard. It's so hard."
"Yes. I always feel that practicing Taoism on the mountain is very hard, but Master told me that everything in the world is nothing easy, and it is usually hard. I didn't believe it at that time, but now I believe it a little." Zhou Shaobai was also very moved.
"In addition to practicing Taoism, your master and you also talked about so many things?" Mu Ningzhi was a little surprised.
Zhou Shaobai nodded: "In addition to practicing martial arts, he also taught me many things and made me understand many principles, so I respect him very much."
"So that's it. My master rarely talks with me. Apart from practicing qigong, I know nothing about the world and don't even know how to plant rice." Mu Ningzhi sighed.
"Maybe Lingmeng host doesn't want you to know too much, so as not to have too many distracting thoughts and be unfavorable for your practice." Zhou Shaobai comforted. He thought that this girl had a deep cultivation level but was not familiar with the world, but this might not be a blessing. She was still young like a girl in the Qin family, and she encountered many changes and experienced the warmth and coldness of the world. She was really pitiful and heartbreaking.
Mu Ningzhi said again: "I have said more in the past few days than I have said in Danxia Peak in a year. I originally thought there would be no difference between the mountain and the mountain, but in just one day and one night, I saw many things I had never seen before, and then I realized that the days I spent on the mountain in the past were too monotonous. At that time, my master told me not to fight until the next round, but fortunately I didn't listen to her."
"Your master actually told you to lose on purpose? Why is this?" Zhou Shaobai was surprised. Other masters hoped that their disciples would strive for the best, but Mu Ningzhi's master was so abnormal.
Mu Ningzhi was silent for a moment: "I didn't know at the beginning, but now I think about it, I probably guessed it. She was afraid that I would explore my own life experience after going down the mountain."
Zhou Shaobai asked in confusion: "Why is this?"
"I don't know, the more I think about it now, the more suspicious I feel." Mu Ningzhi sighed, "It's a pity that I'm not enthusiastic about my life experience on the mountain. Although I've gone down the mountain now, I have no clue at all."
When Zhou Shaobai saw Mu Ning in the morning, he saw her cold and frosty, and said that she was still angry about what happened last night. Now that he saw that Mu Ning's attitude has eased, he was secretly happy and quickly gave her advice: "You have been on the mountain for more than ten years. For more than ten years, your master cannot hide it so tightly. If you think about it carefully, there will definitely be a few words that have talked about your life experience. For example, when you were young, she only said that you couldn't remember a lot, and you wouldn't be so careful. You must have said something in front of you."
After hearing Zhou Shaobai's words, Mu Ningzhi tried hard to recall them.
Looking at her beautiful face as beautiful as white jade, Zhou Shaobai's eyes slowly fell on her rosy cherry lips. Thinking of the mistress in her arms last night, I was fortunate to kiss Fangze. Zhou Shaobai couldn't help but feel a little dazed, unable to tell whether it was a dream or a fact. When he thought of Qin Ziling, he suddenly felt ashamed in his heart and actually kissed another woman. Zhou Shaobai felt very sorry for her.
However, Mu Ningzhi did not take it too seriously. She grew up on the mountain and practiced diligently. She had never learned any etiquette such as men and women's defenses, and taught and received etiquettes such as not being close to each other. Therefore, after being kissed by Zhou Shaobai, she was very angry at the time, but she did not take it seriously afterwards, otherwise she would not say anything about her thoughts to Zhou Shaobai. When she was in Danxia Peak, she received the true teachings of Master Lingmeng Taoist at a young age. The other disciples were very jealous of her and excluded her. Therefore, she ignored her at a young age and might not be able to say a few words to others a year, and she was still discredited. So over time, she became cold and taciturn and unwilling to pay attention to others. However, since she met Zhou Shaobai, she gradually began to get used to talking to others, but she had not noticed it yet.
"I have it. I once found something in my master's inner room. I thought it was very strange at that time, but I didn't think about it much. Now I remember it, the more I think about it, the more I feel, the more strange it becomes." Mu Ningzhi said with his head up.
Looking at his clear and bright eyes, Zhou Shaobai asked, "What did you find at that time?"
"At that time, a guest came to visit Danxia Peak, and the master asked me to find a can of tea she had treasured. I searched through the boxes and cabinets for a long time, but I saw a set of baby clothes. At that time, I just felt strange, why did this thing exist in my house? Now that I think about it, it might be my childhood."
Zhou Shaobai nodded and said, "It makes sense, do you still remember anything else?"
"I was still young at that time and couldn't remember many details. I only remember that it was a moon-white dress, and there was nothing strange about it." Mu Ningzhi frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly said, "By the way, there was a letter in the dress and a jade pendant!"
Zhou Shaobai asked hurriedly: "Have you ever read that letter?"
"I have read it, but I was still young at that time and couldn't recognize a few words, so I couldn't find out what was written in the letter." Mu Ningzhi shook his head.
"Where is the jade pendant?"
Mu Ningzhi's expression became very strange. She said slowly: "I'm afraid you don't believe it, so the jade pendant is here."
"What?" Zhou Shaobai was stunned, but saw Mu Ningzhi lifting the ice jade sword he had with him.
"When my master gave me this ice jade sword, I felt that the jade pendant on the sword spike looked familiar. After I said this, I remembered that the jade pendant on the sword spike was the jade pendant wrapped in the moon white clothes at the time."
After hearing this, Zhou Shaobai held up the jade pendant on the sword spear and took a closer look.
I saw that the jade pendant was white, moist and transparent, and flawless. Holding it in my palm, a cool air penetrated into the palm of my hand. The jade pendant was carved into a circle, with strange patterns on one side, and sun-carved. The twists and turns were not obvious. The other side was much simpler, with the words "Light and Bright Moon" engraved on it.
Zhou Shaobai repeatedly played with the jade pendant, pondering without saying a word.
Mu Ningzhi asked, "What did you find?"
"Although I don't understand jade, this jade is moist and bright, and it must be a good seed material. And judging from the carving, it must be a masterpiece. What does this bright and bright moon mean? The pattern on the back seems very strange. We should find an expert who understands jade and see what tricks he can tell."
Mu Ningzhi felt that the words were reasonable, so he said, "Since that's the case, when I arrive at Qiao'an, I will look for the jade store and see if I can find anything."
Zhou Shaobai nodded: "That's all."
The two walked together and walked forward. They saw the green willows hanging in the shade, the water reflects the mountains, the cicadas ringing in their ears, and the orioles are sometimes clear and melodious. Several dragonflies chased the horse, but they couldn't chase it far, so they flew to the fishing rod of the fisherman by the river to stop.
Zhou Shaobai smelled the girl's body fragrance sent by the breeze, looked at the clear water-like hibiscus side face, and could not let go of the things that happened last night in his mind, and finally couldn't help saying: "Miss Mu, I was confused about what happened last night--"
Mu Ningzhi's eyelids trembled and he replied, "I am no longer angry with you about what happened last night."
Zhou Shaobai was overjoyed: "Take it seriously? Miss Mu is so kind and generous!"
"But don't mention it again, and you are not allowed to do such rude and rude to me again in the future, otherwise I will definitely kill you with one sword."
Mu Ningzhi gave Zhou Shaobai a glance.
Zhou Shaobai nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Of course, if I am rude and contemptuous, you can kill me with just one sword."
Mu Ningzhi raised his eyebrows: "Are you still thinking about it again? Are you really tired of living?"
"No, I'm wrong, don't blame me!" Zhou Shaobai wished he could slap his big mouth.
Seeing Zhou Shaobai's embarrassment, Mu Ningzhi finally couldn't help but laugh with a "splash", but she immediately realized that she tightened her face again in a blink of an eye.
This smile is like the iceberg thawing for thousands of years and the pear blossoms blooming.
Zhou Shaobai was so obsessed with seeing it, Mu Ningzhi scolded: "What are you looking at?"
Zhou Shaobai returned to his position and sincerely exclaimed: "You have been born with a fairy-like appearance, which is unforgettable. However, when you smiled sweetly, you are more charming than usual. In an instant, you will be blessed with a flash of beauty. I, Zhou Shaobai, have the honor to see such a beautiful woman, and I will die without regrets."
"You! Are talking nonsense again!" Mu Ningzhi shouted angrily, but he didn't really hate Zhou Shaobai's praise in his heart.
She whipped the horse's butt, and the horse rushed forward in pain. Zhou Shaobai was eager to catch up. Unexpectedly, Mu Ning's qi and meridians were moving rapidly, and his body suddenly became as light as a feather. The horse was carrying her but it was not hard. Without the burden, she spread her four hooves and threw Zhou Shaobai further and further away.
"I'm going to Qiao'an, see you again in Nanjiang Town!" Mu Ningzhi's voice came from afar. Zhou Shaobai shook his head, patted his horse's neck, sighed, and said with a slight : "We're leaving, let's go too, go!"
