Chapter 1412: The old naughty boy talked about the world, and the yin and yang of the snowy night mountain talked about ghosts
Chapter 1416: The old naughty boy talks about the world, and the yin and yang talks about ghosts on the snowy night mountain
Magnificent?
Dao Qiongcang was startled for a moment.
When his eyes fell on the astrolabe in Yu Zhiwen's hand, he remembered that this was the name of her astrolabe.
Little girls always have fancy names.
Just like "Little Star" is Yu Zhiwen's exclusive celestial puppet, "Grace" is her common astrolabe.
Of course, this is not as good and practical as "No. 2" and "Tianji Sinan" and the names are more appropriate... Well, it doesn't matter.
Dao Qiongcang finally understood where the little girl was remembering her grudge!
When he was in the Four Symbols Secret Realm, Yu Zhiwen almost broke out of the secret realm at the last moment, not knowing what was up there.
At the critical moment, Dao Qiongcang activated the Tianji Formation hidden in Guilan in the Child-Mother Formation, saving her life.
It is obvious that young people do not understand the painstaking efforts of their elders, and they even do not appreciate it at all.
Dao Qiongcang let out a long sigh.
The good girl in my memory is gone.
Her rebellious period is late but has arrived!
"Is it because of this that you lose your temper with me?" Dao Qiongcang asked without answering.
this?
So, this is a very small thing?
Yu Zhiwen clenched his fist, and the breath he was holding in his heart expanded a lot. After he opened his mouth...
He blew the hair away from his lips and muttered:
"How...did I lose my temper?"
She also changed "dare" to "have" and did not dare to speak too loudly.
Because the Taoist Palace Master's face was horribly dark at this time. Although he still looked expressionless, he was the scariest when he was expressionless!
"Then you're just having fun?" Dao Qiongcang said in a different way.
"I..." Yu Zhiwen was so uncomfortable holding it back that he finally rebounded. After closing his eyes, he was like pouring beans into a bamboo tube and spoke at an extremely fast speed:
"You let me talk!"
"When I talk, you ask me to talk less and do more."
"If I don't say anything and you say I'm weird, don't beat around the bush and say it directly."
"If I talk again, you will say that I am playing with my temper, my temper... Bah, my temper, my temper... Ah! Anyway, I am discussing business with you now, you tell me, tell me..."
After his mouth slipped, Yu Zhiwen's cheeks turned red and he stamped his feet twice.
She wished she could dig a hole and bury her useless self, she couldn't even speak easily.
But when he opened his eyes and saw that the Taoist Palace Master was still expressionless, his anger evaporated.
But it’s all about this!
Stretching out the neck is a knife, and shrinking the neck is also a knife.
Yu Zhiwen muttered and spat out the last half of the sentence: "Now, you are saying that there is something wrong with my tone of voice. Is it me or you...ah."
The little story is over.
The girl's chest was lifted, her shoulders dropped, her hands were straightened by the weight, and her head was lowered, which perfectly explained what it meant to be dejected.
Dao Qiongcang waited for a while, and after making sure she had finished speaking, Leng Buding said:
"So are you blowing bubbles, blah blah blah, I didn't understand a word."
Boom!
Yu Zhiwen's silver teeth almost shattered.
She clenched her fists and unclenched them fiercely.
"I'm sorry, I was rash again."
"But that's because I started getting sick yesterday..."
It was certainly not good to tell a lie casually, and Yu Zhiwen had no time to care about it.
Disheartened, she lowered her head, turned around, and walked back.
She didn't want to talk anymore.
She swore she would never say it again.
Sure enough, as I thought, when I talked about this with them, no one would pay attention to the key points.
They only have eyes for themselves!
Who would argue with a child?
In their eyes, no matter how old you are, you are still a child!
The child's battle of avenues is playing house, the child's thinking game is guessing puzzles, and the child's secret skills are tools used to make handmade toys...
You can have all the good things in the world.
But it must be under my control, because only in this way, you will not have big problems.
Okay, when can we get out of control?
Wait until you grow up.
Okay, when will you grow up?
Silly child, you are not happy when you grow up. In our eyes, you will always be a child.
No solution!
A beauty, a protection.
Yu Zhiwen saw it clearly. Maybe she should thank the Taoist Palace Master for his secret protection?
But the essence of what she wanted to say was not these.
Equality, privacy, respect, freedom... these are what she wants to say.
Darkness, rules, obstacles, constraints... these are what she felt.
She only hated herself for being so stupid that she couldn't explain this kind of thing clearly.
She hoped that the clever Dao Palace Master would be able to hear the connotation of her words and not respond in a formulaic manner like her master.
Hey, it's very crotch-stretching...
Unpredictable, just like that...
Yu Zhiwen took each step step by step, and the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became. He lowered his head as if he could see her spiritual sustenance.
Xu Xiaoshou, if you were me, what would you do?
How can we break free from this big net that becomes more and more restrictive the more we struggle? Is there really only one way to get bigger?
Who can teach me how to grow bigger...
"return!"
The shout of the Taoist Palace Master came from behind.
Yu Zhiwen rolled his eyes secretly, wiped away his tears, and calmed down all his negative emotions with ease.
When she returned to the Taoist Palace Master, she had returned to the good girl Yu Zhiwen on the Holy Mountain, with an expressionless face.
"Master of the Dao Palace."
"I'm sorry, I didn't respect your privacy. I did tamper with your star...well, Guilan. This is my fault. I apologize to you." Dao Qiongcang sighed.
"You are protecting me."
"But this is also wrong. I am an unqualified elder. I only think from my own point of view and forget about your feelings. I am not even as good as my sister." Dao Qiongcang made a metaphor that he thought was funny.
"It doesn't matter." Yu Zhiwen didn't smile.
Dao Qiongcang looked at the little girl who had a look on her face that said "I don't want to say any more, just let me go." He opened his mouth but stopped talking.
Finally, he squatted down slightly, level with Yu Zhiwen, and forced out a stiff smile:
"Smile."
"whee."
"Haha, what a stiff smile."
"..."
Yu Zhiwen glared at him calmly in response and had no further words.
She actually has something even more ruthless.
She also wanted to ask why there was a backhand in Guilan, but when Beihuai hurt her, the backhand didn't come out.
She also wanted to know why Grandpa Yu didn't have any scruples even if the master couldn't get out, so why he never showed up again after being knocked back.
Yu Zhiwen is no longer a child.
She knows the answer.
Of course, she also knew that after asking these questions that already had answers, it would not be one person who would be sad, but two people.
It's enough for one person to be sad.
One more is not necessary.
The scene became quiet for a short time because of the Taoist Palace Master's awkward smile.
Dao Qiongcang calmed down his playful expression, stood up and looked back at the night, not knowing what he was thinking about.
He paused for a long time, then suddenly pointed to the night sky and said, "This is the sky."
Without waiting for Yu Zhiwen's response, he pointed to the ground: "This is the ground."
He seemed to be having a conversation with himself, with an unconscious smile appearing on his lips. After putting down Tianji Sinan like a child, he measured the top and bottom with his hands:
"The distance between heaven and earth is the distance I want to break. I said that at that time."
Shaking his head and laughing, Dao Qiongcang said: "In their eyes, this is very funny."
Yu Zhiwen was startled and faced up to this question, which she thought was a bad joke.
After Dao Qiongcang turned around, he stood up like an old naughty boy, looking left and right, as if he was wary of ghosts in the dark night, and then he raised his hand in front of his mouth, very, very slightly...
"Shh..."
Yu Zhiwen was shocked.
It was the first time she saw the Taoist Palace Master who looked like a childish ghost, and she was almost amused.
In the face of her uncontrollable expression, Dao Qiongcang stood up with a smile, put his big hand on the little girl's head, looked into the sky, and said sadly:
"No matter what you want to say or what you want to do, others can't give you the answer."
"The only thing I can tell you is still the same thing."
"Follow your heart and pay attention to safety."
Yu Zhiwen's red lips were slightly opened, and he looked at the night sky, with some inexplicable imperfections in his starry eyes.
Dao Qiongcang played with the broken Tianji arm and handed it to the little girl.
"Xu Xiaoshou's masterpiece."
"The distance between heaven and earth."
…
The night enters the house, and the snow on the mountain is slightly shining.
Xi was suddenly called back in the midst of his busy schedule.
The strange thing is that the Taoist Palace Master chose to enjoy the Night Mountain with him alone, without bringing anyone else with him. Even Yu Zhiwen was kicked away by him.
Very strange!
Return to this mountain.
This mountain is a few hundred miles away from the south gate of Yujing City. It is an unknown forest mountain.
There are few people on the mountain, only birds singing at night.
When I look back occasionally, I can see that the south gate of Yujing City is looming under the moonlit night.
The snow in Yujing City is not heavy, but the mountains here are covered with ankle-deep layers. When you step on it, you will hear a "chi" sound and your ankles will feel ice cold.
Xi, is trembling.
He had seen the battlefield photo beads and knew that he had misunderstood the interests of the Taoist Palace Master.
Naturally, the direction of his search was adjusted in time, from the young women and strong men in Kyoto to the evil cultivator from the Southern Region, that is, the person-stealer.
But it seems that there is still a while before the deadline of "half a day". Why did the Taoist Palace Master drag him here so quickly?
"Do you know why I brought you here?" Dao Qiongcang walked around in the snow with his hands behind his back.
Catch... Xi solemnly said: "I know, this is the place where 'he' has been!"
"Oh? Did you find out?"
"Report it to the Lord of the Palace, we are still a little short of the mark."
"Then how do you know someone has been here?"
"The view is excellent, it's an excellent spot, and it leaves no trace... Before the Taoist Palace Master brought me here, I didn't even consider this place... This is obviously a problem!" Xi pondered his words, not knowing.
Why, I just feel that there is a tiger next to me, and it will explode at any time.
"Oh, just because I brought you here and you thought 'yes', you said 'yes'?" Dao Qiongcang asked calmly.
"Uh..." Xi didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"As an intelligence worker and the leader of a different department, you are not sloppy at all. You rely on your sixth sense to do things. You are also able to follow the whim of the spirit refiner with your ancient sword cultivation. You are kind."
"Well……"
"The fact that the foreign department cannot find people is not a sign of the foreign department's waste. In fact, the enemy is hiding too deep and the enemy is too strong. The best trace is to have no trace. This is very thought-provoking. I have learned from this."
"Well……"
"Respect the elders, follow the steps, and express respect for the temple's choice of this place... It seems that after staying in the foreign ministry for so long, I have really understood the little rules on the Holy Mountain.
You can tell lies when ghosts happen to you, you can have both sides, and there is no leakage."
"Well……"
Xi's scalp was numb.
Is it the weather?
Or is there too much Yin energy here?
Why does the palace master become so weird when he talks?
If you want to scold the foreign department, say it. If you want to scold me, say it. Why beat around the bush!
"Are you choked?"
Dao Qiongcang turned around and looked at the young man who seemed to be sweating profusely in the heat of the snowy night. He said indifferently: "It's still too cold. You are so cold that you can only goose and goose. Are you a big goose?"
"Master Dao Palace, I was wrong!"
"What's wrong?"
"My mistake is..."
"If you know you're wrong, just correct it. You don't have to say it out. Saying some things will only make people disgusted."
Xi's face turned blue and white, and he felt more uncomfortable than swallowing a fly.
Dao Palace Master, are you in a bad mood tonight?
Who messed with him!!!
"The atmosphere on the Holy Mountain is not good. Young people should not learn everything. They should take the dross and discard the essence. This is a bad habit."
"I...the junior will be taught."
"Did you personally do the things that I asked you to do?" Dao Qiongcang changed the topic again, his tone was calm from beginning to end.
"yes!"
Xi finally found the point of excitement and replied loudly: "My subordinates took care of this matter personally, checked for traces within hundreds of miles, and narrowed down the area. I don't need to be led by the master of the palace. I can find this place on my own soon."
!”
"What if I say that this place is not his hiding place, but just a casual visit?"
"Well……"
"Are you freezing again?"
"Master of the Hall, no! I just have nothing to say!" Xi gave up and realized that he was now a punching bag.
"By speaking so loudly, are you also disturbing the people in Jade City, or are you expressing your dissatisfaction with this palace?"
"No! Oh, yes...oh no, I just need to keep my voice down." Xi felt extremely aggrieved and spoke incoherently.
"Have you been busy with this all night?" Dao Qiongcang asked again.
"Yes." Xi breathed a sigh of relief. I have nothing to say this time. I was just a little slow in finding someone, but there was no credit and hard work.
Dao Qiongcang sneered: "When you realize that you are very busy, you are no longer a qualified leader of the foreign department."
Xi was startled.
Dao Qiongcang said again:
"Wei, I have never been as busy as you. I am always traveling around and building intelligence networks in various places."
"Sir, you don't have to do everything personally... If you can't learn to trust your subordinates and assign tasks, will you give up your ancient swordsmanship? Will you spend the rest of your life working for other departments until you die?"
Xi opened his mouth, intending to refute, but was unable to do so.
"Think about why you were so busy when you were the deputy director of two departments."
"Put yourself in another position and think about it. Now that you are the leader, why are you still busy alone?"
"There's something wrong with your method. Your thinking is still that of a subordinate. Your master can't teach you these things, so let's take care of it."
After Dao Qiongcang cursed for a while, he finally felt much more comfortable and his tone returned to normal. It was rare for him to say a word.
When Xi suddenly woke up, he seemed to have some realization. He solemnly clasped his fists and said, "Younger generation, I will teach you."
"Don't always be taught and taught, and don't always stay in the stage of thinking but not taking action. You young people are all like this... think about what you should do next!"
"What I should do..."
"Spiritual refiners fight for the Tao, ancient sword cultivators fight for the reputation, and the Eight Masters have already told you the answer. So, do you want to fight for the Seven Swordsmen, or not?"
"I……"
Xi You wanted to say that he is the head of a different department and is also the general responsible for the operational intelligence of Tianzhu. If there is nothing to do, he still has to complete the extra tasks assigned by you. How can he have time to rank?
But then I thought about it, I didn't even say these words, the Dao Palace Master blocked it in advance, wouldn't I be scolding if I said it again?
It’s unpredictable and terrifying!
"I will adjust myself." Xi Zhen handed over his hand and only answered without defending.
Dao Qiongcang nodded slightly and said no more about this matter.
He changed direction, scooped up a handful of snow on the snow, and let it slip through his fingers.
"You said there are no traces of him here?"
In a word, Xi Leng broke out in sweat and realized that this place was really the former hiding place of the evil cultivator from the Southern Territory. Has the Dao Palace Master already found it?
What he said just now about casual strolling was indeed just a joke!
"I... have to look for it." Xi chose a cautious approach and did not dare to mess around.
"What are you waiting for?"
"Ah? What are you waiting for?"
"Look, let me accompany you to spend the night in a daze in this snowy mountain?"
I...xi almost burst into tears. For the first time, I felt that the Taoist Palace Master was showing his temper, which was even more terrifying than Master.
"Look for it now, look for it now..."
He didn't dare to delay any longer, he put his hands together, and his eyes glowed with a small green sword.
Suddenly, at night, the snowy forest and mountains looked gloomy and gloomy.
Dao Qiongcang still had his hands behind his back, but he narrowed his eyes slightly and observed the young man carefully.
Yes, this was the first time he saw Xi take action in person.
The reason why Yeshan wanted to test him this time was certainly not because he realized that Xi was a genius and he needed to cultivate him well.
